| Marijuana Munchies May Hold a Key to Obesity |

Those who try marijuana (and inhale) know that smoking it can bring on an acute snack attack known as "the munchies." Scientists from Italy, the U.S. and Japan now say that pot may stimulate the appetite by interacting in the brain with a key hunger-controlling hormone. The discovery suggests that in mice and probably in humans, the appetite-regulating hormone leptin, which is produced by fat cells, may suppress hunger by controlling brain levels of cannabinoids, naturally occurring substances that are also found in marijuana.

| Jorma Nash, you made the I-man laugh! Give all praise and thanks to Jah Rastafari! Let me play with the I-DEA. GOD WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE! This evil herb is known as Cannabis Sativa and has been outlawed by the worlds first world-wide super power. That's right this One World Governmnet, the USA, has declared Marijauana evil and illegal. Reasons given for Marijuana being illegal and evil are: (1) It has never killed anyone like the One World's favorite drugs, Big Tobacco and Alcohol. (2) Cannabis Sativa is not addicting like Big Tobacco and Alcohol. (3) Cannabis Sativa is a weedy plant and any idiot can grow it...no control over production, distribution, and profits. and (4) It is the Sacred Sacrament of the Hindu Religion (Cannabis is God's Mind) which is an overstanding that does not come out of the Jewish-Muslim-Christian traditions and understandings. Caution! God, the evil creator of Cannabis Sativa, is Everywhere and knows Everything. He is unstoppable...But the dump shits in Congress are going to try. [ Post Comment ] |

| Hmmm, there was a nice book out years ago titled "Flowers in The Blood" about the receptors which are tailored specificaly for substances our society seems to be under some evil spell to prohibit. God not only created all the wonderful neuroaviation chemicals, he made us capable of enjoying them! God rocks! Praise Jah!!! Munchies? Praise Jah some more! And pass the smores! [ Post Comment ] |

| There is much more to this subject than Dr. Kunos is able to bring to the table. True when smoking herb, munchies do occur with chocolate, chips, etc.; but munchies also occur with salads and other healthy foods like broiled fish, etc. Also, I do not over eat when smoking the sacred herb. I delight in the tastes; and focus on the wonders of the food as opposed to thinking about "problems" and then unconciously over eat. I have also noticed that when I come home from work and I am starving that if I take a walk in the woods and smoke the sacred herb...I totally lose my cravings for food and marvel at the wonders of nature. Then when I return home several hours later, I enjoy taking the time to prepare a delicious salad. As I eat...I marvel at the tastes of the Almighty's vegtables. But if I don't smoke the herb, I tend to eat fatty and unhealthy foods. I-man don't need scientists to fumble around in the dark for many years in order to know what is already overstood by the Rastaman. Give all praise and thanks to Jah Rastafari! With Cannabis, I tend to stay active, eat healthy, and stay trim. Without Cannabis, I tend to stay inside more, eat fatty foods, and bulge at my waiste. [ Post Comment ] |
