Does smoking Marijuana often make you skinny?

Not that I smoke marijuana but my boyfriends' friend has been having issues about being "big" and he says he smokes because it makes you skinny and it doesn't kill youb as fast as cocaine.

Answers:
Actually, it has pretty much the opposite effect. It makes you feel slow and lazy and not want to do much. Plus, it can give you the munchies where you'll just eat and eat and pretty much anything that's around. But yeah, much better than cocaine. Better to stick with the weed, but you can't say that it makes you skinny.
well I would think that it would make you gain weight if anything. The munchies are crazy! You could be so full and think you are still hungry and just keep munching away! But if you could control those cravings, it may be better because with many people, if they smoke weed, they won't drink as much and drinking has a lot of calories.
It does not make you skinny and it kills your brain cells.
yes, no- i don't know... i missed 420 so i gotta go...
Um, I thought pot was supposed to give you the "munchies." Maybe your friend should try eating less and going for a jog every now and then.
Nope, it doesn't. In fact, it clings to your fat cells and slows your brain response time down, so not only do you not get thinner, eventually you get dumber. And it gives you those nasty food cravings. And sure, it kills you slower than cocaine can, but you're smoking something with more tar than cigarettes which can cause all kinds of other health problems down the road. It may not kill you, but it'll definitely decrease your quality of life. That isn't to say I haven't done it, but I have a realistic view of it and don't make up excuses. Your boyfriend's friend is in denial.
No don't think so unless you drink lots of alcohol and not eat. I think cocaine is the only drug that can make you slim. Hopefully Nicole Richie can answer this question!
Can you really see the 'insanity' of the statement, " I smoke marijuana cause it doesn't kill you as fast as cocaine"? That is NUTS! It definitely is proven to cause premature senility due to coating the myocardial sheaths of the brain cells. Also, it is indicitave of much higher rates of lung cancer than tobacco.
Dumb logic! That line about cocaine makes me wonder about his brain cells already.

One of the medicinal uses for marijuana is to help increase appetite in some people.

And everyone has heard about those munchies!
No, it just make you stupid.
your friend sounds like he's on a suicide mission - as if he wants to die slowly instead of quickly -- nonsense! smoking marijuana normally makes you hungry and oftentimes eat everything in sight in excess. believe me, it's not a diet drug! do yourself a favor, and dump that friend quick!
If not being as bad as cocaine is a reason to do something, try sticking your head in the oven.
Marijuana makes you hungry.
It makes you fat and horny. You eat a lot because of the "munchies". I never heard of it making you skinny. He should be careful though because I feel "meth" is in his future. Once the marijuana does not stimulate him enough he will go looking for another high. I
it really depends on what you put in your mouth after or during your smoking marijuana. such as a banana split or a bag of potato chips with a container of french onion dip and then wash it down with a six pack of your favorite beer. I might suspect that the pounds may mount up from ounces to several pounds.. don't you ?
Yes and I am proof, have always smoked pot occasionally maybe twice a month , but recently I have been doing it 3-5 times a day for about the past month. I go to college and eat fast food everyday, and yet in in the past month I have went from weighing 160 to 147. So I have lost around 13 pounds from smoking pot, Also I have been eating more in the past month than prior due to the munchies. lol This effect is due to marijuana speeding up the metabolism of the body.
Making him Skinny or Fatty is not the Matter. Matter is that he likes it to smoke. Lots of way to reduce weight but he is addicted to that . It is too bad Smoking Marijuana. . Why he is comparing it with cocanie ? Comparing Two Bad things ? Why not comparing with Something good ? ?

Just ask him to stop Bad Habits. And I wonder how come you know such a person who smoke Marijuana ands he/they are your friends anyhow ??
kidding ?
eating less and/or eating the wrong neutrients makes you skinny - the weed smoking is irrelevant imo.

it depends on the person. do they tend to eat junk food while they blaze one up, do they have a less appetite when the thc has got them by their balls..etc

compare his food intake while he is high, and while he is clean.

people who quit around me only get bigger because their food intake increases.
