i heard that, just wondering if it is true...

 

WNB

Some people think that because it increases your heart rate while you're high. But weed doesn't increase your metabolism. On the contrary, smoking too much weed will make you a fat ass, if you're not careful about the munchies

About the munchies. Wouldnt that be why your metabolism would speed up if it did? Like if you didnt eat anything. Of course it could be all pchychological.

It is an appetite stimulant

It is not a metabolic stimulant

It is not a central nervous system depressant despite being mis-labeled as such.

Proline63

It doesn't increase your heart rate like some other off topic drugs can.

Actually, Proline63, smoking pot can increase your heart rate. See this thread for more information.

But your body can become tolerant to that effect.

I'd like to post something from the Nova Institute Report about the metabolism issue.EDIT

Welcome to the boards zzoee

After you smoke marijuana the THC in it finds its way into your fat cells since it is soluable in lipids not water soluable like heroin or cocaine. Who the **** knows what its doing in your fat cells for the usual forty-five days that it lingers around. It could be blocking precusor molecules to building larger fat cells by filling the cells up. From my own experience with pot I would say that it must do something because when I used it heavily I lost weight. I mean going from 155 pounds (healthy for me) to about 130 pounds (a little under weight). Maybe it does speed up ones metabolism or hamper sugar absorbtion or maybe it was just enough of an amotivating factor that I was just too lazy to cook. With heavy use the munchies also went away so I was not over eating.

It's been said on these boards that it does.

I wonder..I have had about the same weight (160) ever since I smoked weed. I'm a little bit FATASS and It's stayed about the same.

Maybe if it is indica you will be more energetic and you'll jump around..giving you exersize..thereby increasing your metabolism.

And maybe the heart rate increase helps increase the metabolism as a secondary effect. I have no proof of these. Cheeba has proog to the contrary, so believe him, and don't use it as a wonder-diet herb.

Peace
