Marijuana and Appetite
by crisco91, Sep 13, 2009 10:31AM
I have been smoking marijuana regularly for four years now, and lately I've noticed that I am never hungry unless I am high, and if I'm not high then I will go for one to two days without eating. I just don't feel hungry unless I am high, and if i try to force it down when I am sober, I feel like I'm going to throw up. I also throw up most mornings after I wake up unless I am high. Does anyone know what is happening or if this is normal for habitual smokers?

It's not uncommon for habitual smokers to derail the normal mechanisms of eating, sleeping and activities...you should stop and work it out before it is too late.
