Author	Topic: Marijuana/Cannabis/pot smoking effecting acne?
mliq 05-08-2003 09:33 PM	I don't think there is much of an effect but I am just wondering. I'm sure it has some effect on the metabolism so I'm interested if Wai thinks it is good or bad for the diet.

mliq 05-09-2003 05:38 PM	OK, well people smoke a lot less pot than tobacco so the skin should be okay from that, and yes it does prevent stress. I was just wondering if since THC affects the brain and causes people to feel hungry if it affects the diet. I have read that the reason people get the "munchies" is because pot speeds up your metabolism, is this true Wai?
Wai 05-17-2003 10:33 AM	no, it doesnt speed up your metabolism, but stimulates your appetite by influencing the metabolism of specific neurotransmitters and hormones, such as oxytocine, growth hormone and prolactine (which all influence your appetite)
