The time has come- cannabis is finally legal, and the munchies have become rampant. At the end of 2018, Canada became the second country, after Uruguay, to legalize the recreational consumption of weed. Quebecers were eager to take advantage of the new legality of this plant. While hundreds of people queued up in front of the Société du Cannabis du Québec, the Tastet team was thinking about the munchies. Let’s be honest- one of the highlights of the marijuana experience is the insatiable desire for delicious food that follows.
Have you ever wondered why an uncontrollable hunger – the notorious ‘munchies’ – overcomes you after a few puffs? The long and the short of it is that the munchies are a completely natural phenomenon. The feeling of intense hunger and uncontrollable cravings for comfort food are caused by the interaction between cannabinoids, including THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), and the appetite receptors in our brain. When cannabis is ingested, these receptors are equally as intoxicated as our minds, making already enticing food even more irresistible.
