Do Edibles Make You Hungry?

Munchies can definitely ensue. The snacking urge is caused by THC, which heightens the sense of taste and smell—and therefore appetite. Purveyors of THC-laced edibles warn customers to start with just a nibble have healthy snacks onhand—so when the munchies hit you don’t reach for another edible and end up too stoned.

When you eat edibles on an empty stomach, the effects are going to hit you harder and faster than on a full stomach. This experience is generally preferred over the shorter, more intense high that is associated with taking edibles on an empty stomach.

Do edibles help with appetite?

Yes, you can certainly try edibles for appetite stimulation. In general, THC is the active ingredient in cannabis that stimulates appetite. If you are new to cannabis, begin with a low dose of 2.5-5 mg of THC to see how it affects you.
