ELI5- what in cannabis causes the “munchies”?
In: 10
Hunger is partly caused by the brain responding to chemicals called endo-cannabinoids. As the name suggests, they’re similar to chemicals in cannabis, and one of the chemicals in cannabis, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, but that’s not important right now) can cause the brain’s response to endo-cannabinoids to be increased enormously, so if we use cannabis, we tend to feel hungry.
