For a bit of background, I have smoked weed periodically in my life, and have gone through periods of quitting and doing it. When I first quit 5 years ago, I ended up gaining 120lbs. Going from 200lbs to 320lbs. Then after about two years, in July 2021, I started smoking weed again and ended up losing 80lbs in a 6 month period. I didn't not really change my diet too much but I did have a physically demanding job. In January 2022, I stopped smoking weed until August 2022. Then once I started again, I lost 40lbs. At the moment, I have not smoked weed since February 2023 because I smoked so much that I ended up having a psychotic break. I am currently at 200lbs and I'd like to be at 180lbs but with all of my dieting and excerise, I haven't had much success over a period of almost 2 years. I have gained muscle though. Does weed help lose weight? Because it surely seems like it.
