Can cannabis be used for appetite control?

Asked by desiree333 (3219points) November 25th, 2012

I have heard that overstimulation of the cannabinoid receptors (what must happen with daily enthusiasts) can develop a decreased appetite in individuals. I have also heard that cannabis only works as an appetite stimulant if used sparingly. Unfortunately, the only research articles I can find are about the opposite (a.k.a appetite stimulant/anti nausea in cancer patents). I notice from personal experience that I now eat much more sensibly while medicated, but always tend to eat something at the time no matter what. While sober I have noticed my appetite gone down considerably. However, this could also be due to stress and not finding time to eat as often.
Does anybody have information on this?
