Once high, my brain goes into full-bore cookie-monster mode with an intensity that has been horrible for my body and pantry. As far as I can tell, THC relaxes my insides to the point where there is ZERO satiety reflex. Even the uncomfortable sensation of a full stomach is dialed all the way down to nothing. Then things start to wear off and… oh man, the bill comes due. This leads to my call for help: how do you deal with this?

Is there some combo of activities or foods that help? How about drinks (mostly water) that scratch that itch? Should I just be eating cucumbers or watermelon the whole time? Or maybe there some other cannabinoid blend/ratio that doesn’t hit like this? Thanks.

    Don’t buy snacks, sad but true. I started going to a nutritionist and now that I only buy stuff on the meals plan I sometimes open the fridge, check it out, and close it without picking anything. I noticed that it’s also a habit now, and makes it easier to avoid snacks in general. Now, if only I had some weed available…

    When I get the munchies I kind of have the same problem is I have junk food. I can eat infinite Skittles and cheetos without blinking an eye. The key is to find what “primal craving” these snacks are engineered to hit. For sweet treats like Skittles I like to replace with grapes especially a fancy grape. For salty my replacement is usually nuts. The best thing I have found for all purpose is a homemade trail mix. The nuts, dried fruits and occasional chocolate thing is amazing. It’s satisfying, a great sensory experience, the variety really hits my high brain and it’s mostly healthy. I have a huge contain that I refresh when it gets low. You can put in anything in it and easy and cheap to get the single variety nuts. Even fancy nuts like cashews are cheaper in the long run. It’s also makes you so thirst so make sure you got water but that also fills you up.

    Celery is Stoners friend. Just go light on the peanut butter and other high calorie dippin treats.

    That sounds mildly unpleasant 😢

    I do love cucumbers when blasted but I also become an eat beast while high. This may not work for your lifestyle but I try and minimize the junk at home for this exact reason. I’ll get a treat or two with groceries on the weekend and that’s got to last the week. My spouse and I don’t share treats (without asking) lol so we can both stay in control of what we are bringing in the house for ourselves.

    I vape daily-ish.

    I also really like edamame steamed in the pod. That’s getting higher up in calories but is healthy and delicious. Carrots and hummus can be good too. I think you are on the right track looking at fruit or veg because there is a lot of water in those and they are good for you!

    Oh man, sometimes a giant salad with lots of nuts and seeds rules while high also.
