Frequently Asked Questions
How does cannabis impact weight loss?
Cannabis may impact weight loss through its effect on the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating appetite and metabolism. THC, a cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant, can sometimes increase appetite, but CBD, another cannabinoid, might have opposite effects, helping to lower cortisol, improve sleep and reduce belly fat. Studies have found an association between cannabis use and lower body weight, despite the appetite-stimulating properties of THC. Researchers speculate this could be due to a complex interaction within the endocannabinoid system affecting metabolism and energy expenditure.
Is CBD or THC more effective for weight loss?
CBD might be more relevant for weight loss as it’s believed to support the conversion of white, or “bad,” fat into brown, or “good,” fat, which may enhance the body’s ability to burn calories.
