Scientists have mapped exactly how THC tricks your brain into feeling starving even when you’re full, which opens the door to developing appetite-boosting medications without the psychoactive high. A University of Montreal study published in the Journal of Cannabis Research found that among Quebec adults in their mid-30s who used cannabis in the past year, 63% were at low risk for cannabis use disorder (CUD). Lower-risk users tended to use cannabis occasionally and in social contexts, and were more likely to be women or to co-use cannabis with alcohol rather than tobacco.
