Can Medical Marijuana Help with Weight Gain?

Would medical marijuana help me gain weight? I'm severely underweight and the only thing that helps me eat is weed.

totally! I'd suggest trying edibles for starting out, indica is great for munchies! start small with only one and after a couple hours if you still don't feel anything and feel like it's a good idea, go for another one! Also ALWAYS make sure you're buying from a safe place, preferably somewhere it's legal and a place that's been cleared by the FDA. Look at places online and find one with good reviews. you got this!!

Tbh probably. Weed gives me hella munchies. I smoke and snack all day long sometimes. Maybe check out vitamins if you're worried about getting enough nutrients

I'm not sure because marijuana makes you binge and eat a lot at one time but then in the day after you'll probably be less hungry. For gaining weight you should eat more all day long.. But it could be a great kick to start!

It can! My bf and I have ADHD. He struggles feeling hungry so he sometimes needs to inflict munchies to get himself to eat enough food. I also have a stomach condition that turns off my hunger after very little food so I also use the munchies to help get more food in along with my ADHD genuinely being helped due to the dopamine in THC. I only smoke indica and found the munchies hit the hardest when I do dabs (they also affect me more mentally than flower does).

Absolutely! There are very knowledgeable people at dispensaries. I would ask for something specifically for increased appetite and see what you learn and go from there

My sister was in the same boat and weed helped her.

In my experience, yes. I’d suggest an indica strain.
