Cannabis and The munchies myth! With Beth Jasinski

This episode dives into one of the most persistent cannabis myths: the idea that weed automatically gives you the “munchies.” While many people associate cannabis with late-night snacking, the reality is more nuanced.

The discussion explains that cannabis can influence appetite, but it doesn’t affect everyone the same way. THC, the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system—particularly receptors that play a role in hunger and reward. This can enhance the taste and enjoyment of food, making eating feel more appealing. But that doesn’t mean it always triggers hunger out of nowhere.

Beth points out that the munchies are heavily shaped by context. Your environment, mood, habits, and even expectations can influence whether you feel the urge to snack. If you already associate cannabis with eating, your brain may reinforce that pattern. On the other hand, some people report reduced appetite or no change at all, especially depending on the strain, dosage, or timing.

Cannabis and Weaker Weed!

In this episode, Ryan discusses how modern cannabis—especially high-THC products—can have unwanted side effects, particularly with heavy or frequent use:

High THC levels are linked to increased anxiety, paranoia, and in severe cases psychosis or schizophrenia-like symptoms.
Addiction and dependency: Regular use can lead to cannabis use disorder and difficulty cutting back.
A key takeaway: modern cannabis is more potent than in the past, making overconsumption easier and side effects more intense.

Ryan highlights the benefits of micro-dosing as well as balancing the use of cannabis in an effective and efficient way to improve our overall health and wellness.
