People often make light of the fact that #cannabis is a wildly #effective#appetite #stimulant. What is often referred to as "the #munchies" is actually a complex little bit of #science. These benefts are a leading reason why those afflicted by disease induced #Anorexia often turn to cannabis to aid in #AppetiteStimulation.
A new #study published in #Nature Neuroscience provides another angle to this query. A group of European #neuroscientists found that in mice, THC fits into receptors in the brain's #olfactory system, this greatly impacts the mice by drastically increasing the animals' ability to smell food and leading to them eating more! So basically, another benefit is that cannabis makes #food more #appealing, this is what aids in those with #anorexia due to #nausea (often a side effect of #pharmaceuticals and #disease)
THC appears to increase our #sensitivity to #scents and #flavors by using naturally occurring neural networks to convince the brain that it's starving, and that food is awesome and tasty.
