Medical Marijuana Strains for Appetite Stimulation

Return to medical conditions page

Introduction
Medical marijuana has been shown to help people who have a poor appetitive. Medical marijuana for appetite stimulation is in the early stages of research but here at Sensible Seeds we can bring you information and support and offer advice on the cannabis strains and treatments that will most benefit those in need of appetite simulation. Sensible Seeds is committed to bringing beneficial cannabis strains and related medical marijuana information to you, and we are updating our website as new discoveries come to light. We have sourced information from a variety of well-established medical marijuana websites and a summary of this information is laid out for you below.

How Medical Marijuana can stimulate appetite

There is a range of anecdotal and scientific evidence that the use of medical marijuana for appetite stimulation can be effective. For example the cancer journal, Annals of Oncology has noted that the active ingredient in cannabis can improve the appetites and sense of taste in cancer patients. The primary active compound in cannabis is tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, which is believed to be the single most active appetite stimulating chemical in cannabis. There are synthetic versions of THC that can stabilize or increase appetite but most MMJ patients report better effectiveness through actual smoked medical marijuana.

When smoked, medical marijuana raises two hunger related hormones, namely ghrelin and leptin. It does this without altering insulin levels, and is therefore a safe and effective way to increase appetite, for example among HIV sufferers. AIDS patients who received the synthetic cannabis pill dronabinol gained 10 pounds on average after a year of taking it. This indicates that medical marijuana for appetite stimulation can reverse weight loss after it has begun.

The body’s natural endocannibinoids, similar to the cannabinoids found in medical cannabis, help regulate eating so doses of medical marijuana encourage individuals to take in more calories than they might have otherwise wanted. In fact, weight gain brought about by MMJ may actually be higher than that expected based on the calories consumed by patients, a finding that is helpful for many suffering uncontrolled weight loss due to chronic illness.

Researchers in Canada ran a small pilot study between May 2006 to December 2008 in 21 adult patients with advanced cancer who had been eating less as a result of their illness for two weeks or more. Eleven patients received oral capsules containing delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) – the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis – and eight patients were given placebo capsules. The active capsules contained 2.5mg of THC. According to the published study, the researchers found that the majority (73%) of THC-treated patients reported an increased overall appreciation of food compared with patients receiving the placebo (30%) and more often stated that study medication "made food taste better" (55%) compared with placebo (10%).

The majority of THC-treated patients (64%) had increased appetite, three patients (27%) showed no change, and one patient's data was incomplete. No THC-treated patients showed a decrease in appetite. By contrast, the majority of patients receiving placebo had either decreased appetite (50%) or showed no change (20%). THC-treated patients also reported side effects that included better quality sleep and relaxation than those in the placebo group

 

How Cannabis is used for Appetite Stimulation

Medical marijuana for appetite stimulation can take many forms. Most MMJ patients do prefer to smoke medical marijuana, but other methods of intake are also available to MMJ patients living in areas where MMJ is legal. For example, oromucosal solutions are preparations that are absorbed in the mouth or the throat, either in a fast dissolving solid or a liquid form. MMJ can be used in specialized vaporizer equipment. MMJ can also be ingested within food such as baked goods.
