One of life's dumber questions:

[Elok]

If one were to eat a marijuana brownie, would one feel more or less hungry as a result? One one hand, you just ate; on the other, the munchies might compensate for that. I don't touch the stuff myself(it's illegal, and, no matter what the studies say, I still think it retards brain function), this is just something that occured to me while I was reading another thread.
This is one of those questions that could keep me up at night if it weren't so trivial...

Use the scientific method: Try and see.

Less, from the brownie's mass; then more because of the effect.

I've done extensive lab work on this question.

The net reult is you get hungrier, so you really have to watch out when you set out to do this and make sure you either don't have too many brownies or got enough people around to split em.

I never really got the munchies while smoking pot. maybe I was doing it wrong . But I did get high, I just never had any urge to eat more than usual.

[David Floyd]

Same here, Dissident. Of course, I've only smoked pot a couple times, and I was much, MUCH more drunk than high at the time.

Pot brownies ROCK for those of us with pre-retarded brains. MORE FOR THE '*****!!!

All those rhizhomes, though. That's probably not good for your tummy. You should avoid eating marijuana.

Ok you get some "less hungry"-effect from the initial eating. But since it takes the marijuana about 1 to 2 hours to come in effect. The "less-hungry"-effect of the little brownie is long forgotten.

It is always wise to consume marijuana before your regular meal not afterwards...
Ok for those that dont know, 3 reasons:
1. If you ate something heavy just bevor you eat your cake. The pot may take a long time before coming into effect ... maybe not exactly at an convinient time ... (you want to go work the next morning or something?)
2. Regardless if you ate enough already or not. You will be hungry again...
3. Food tastes so much better if you had some appetizer beforehand

It's odd that there aren't more fat stoners out there

It's odd that there aren't fewer belligerent drunks out there.

DAMN THOSE DEMMYPRATS!

DanielXY has an excellent understanding of the right way to do brownies.

You start off feeling less hungry, you get high, then the munchies kick in again.

Eating more brownies at this stage will repeat the cycle.

St Swithin - depends exactly on how fine the weed is. If you just use bud and finely seperate it, it digests quite easily. Lots of stalk is to be avoided.

Best stuff to use in cookery is hash oil, but that's quite rare and usually much more illegal than weed or hash. Hash is tricky to break into small enough pieces - one idea is to warm it and roll it out as thin as possible, then slice it up. Fiddly.

Haven't touched a brownie in over 3 years but the skills are still there.

[red_jon]

It takes a few hours, so you will be hungry by then.

[st_swithin]

Chr1st, but I'm hungry now. DAMN YOU AND YOUR LITERAL SUGGESTIONS!

They'd have to get off their ass to make it to the fridge or go to the store.

HEE HEE HEE!
