  • Been using cannabis daily for several years now and I’ve always disagreed with the claim that weed causes the munchies. Rather, I would argue that weed blocks communication between the stomach and the brain. Essentially, if you start eating, it is easier to keep eating because the message that your stomach is getting full gets lost (“the munchies”). However, if you are hungry right before you smoke, the urge to eat goes away after smoking (or at least becomes a lot easier to ignore). I lost a lot of weight thanks to weed simply by never eating when I was high.

    This is all anecdotal of course, but every daily smoker I’ve talked to agrees with me.


  • I graduated from a public research university in the US not too long ago, where a bit over 20% of undergraduates were international students from China. Talking to coworkers, it seems this is fairly common in schools across the country.

    It seems like China now has the same “top-heaviness” problem we have. Too many people were forced to go to college by their parents, to get a degree in something, anything, and now we have a bunch of unemployed people with degrees AND a bunch of openings for important jobs that they’re “overqualified” for
