I've always heard that you actually get dehydrated, but the cannabis confuses the body's reaction and makes you think you're hungry. Anyone else heard something like this?
Heard, yes. But it's never said by anyone that isn't high as giraffe pussy ;)
Besides, there's been a few studies back before legalization and research ramped things up. Dehydration isn't a factor, nor has it ever been. Dry mouth != dehydration for one thing, but the mechanism is different between the two.
Heh I've never had dry mouth from it but I definitely get munchy. Ah well, it was an interesting theory, and probably a lot healthier anyway, but it is what it is.
