Answer 1

Specialized proteins called cannabinoid receptors are abundant in the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that plays a major role in regulating your appetite.

When the cannabinoid THC hits those receptors, it serves the same function as your body's internally produced cannabinoids, which tell the brain that it's time to eat.

By 1977, researchers had ruled out the blood sugar fluctuation theory as the cause of the munchies.

Answer 2

you get the munchies from smoking because the brain has its own natural cannabinoids that contol when you feel hungry or not , they are what causes the hunger sensation. and when you add more cannabinoids, such as while smoking it triggers more of this to be produced, hence causing the "munchies".

Answer 3

The munchies occur b/c MJ causes you sugar to drop, which in turns causes you to become hungry.That's why diabetics should NOT smoke and it's the reason doctors prescribe it to cancer patients.
