According to a recent Reuters press release a study in the American Journal of Epidemiology reports that people who frequently smoke marijuana are LESS likely to be obese than those who do not smoke. Wow! Man. Although I personally have never inhaled, I have heard rumors that smokingreefer directly and immediately increases the craving for chocolate brownies, Ben 'n Jerry's ice cream, potato chips, pizza, and other highly fattening foods.
So, if you want to shed a few pounds, should you head down to the nearest "medical marijuana" clinic, buy a Bob Marley t-shirt and a hookah, turn up the volume on Purple Haze, and light up? Well, the researchers are quick to point out that non-indulging people should NOT start smoking pot as part of their weight control program.
