Does cannabis cause weight loss?

Any external substance that disturbs the natural fire of our digestion can cause unusual changes in weight. Some may lose weight due to poor nutrition and lack of mindfulness. It is much better to regulate your weight naturally through a balanced diet, yoga, and regular pranayama to keep your metabolism steady.

I used to panic so much when my brother started losing weight and we found out he was using cannabis. I thought it was some major disease. However, the doctor explained that chronic use can sometimes suppress appetite or disrupt digestion. Once he stopped and got back to a routine, his weight returned to normal, so don't worry.

Unexplained weight loss or gain should always be investigated properly, as it can be related to thyroid issues or other metabolic changes. If cannabis is affecting your appetite and causing you to lose weight, it is not a healthy way to manage weight. Please get your thyroid (TSH) and routine blood tests done, and consult a doctor.

Wait, really? Most people I know end up eating double the amount of biryani and sweets because of the heavy food cravings it causes! But joking aside, long-term heavy use can sometimes ruin your natural appetite, leading to weight loss. Better to enjoy good food naturally without any substance-induced cravings.
