Does Weed Make You Skinny? A Recent Study Shows It Might

A hot and endlessly debated topic in the weed community is whether cannabis can help with weight loss.

Despite the notorious munchies suggesting otherwise, the answer isn’t so straightforward.

Sure, cannabis might have you reaching for snacks, but there’s some evidence that it could also be a helper in shedding pounds. One study, for example, points to an interesting link between THCV, CBD, and weight loss.

A recent study published in the journal Cannabis discovered that individuals with metabolic disorders experienced weight loss after using oral strips containing THCV and CBD.

Participants were clinically obese but otherwise healthy. They were split into low-, moderate-, and high-dose THCV + CBD groups. Those in the high-dose group not only lost pounds but also saw reductions in blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

THCV, a propyl analog of THC with a slightly different chemical structure, is less psychoactive than THC. It’s recently gained attention as the “diet cannabinoid” due to its appetite-suppressing effects.

Past research on animals and cells also revealed that THCV and CBD can increase fat metabolism.

But does cannabis speed up your metabolism conclusively? We’ll need more human studies to really nail down the answer.
