Strains for Appetite

Appetite is something that a lot of people struggle with, but those that have a lot of THC in this, which is the compound that is responsible for the munchies, it can definitely be good. Some people struggle with eating disorders due to chemotherapy and other problems. Dronabinol is actually something that a lot of people get prescribed, and it in turn does increase the appetite of a person. 

Cannabis and appetite 

It actually can help with either stimulating or suppressing the appetite, with THC being one of the main triggers that’s responsible for the munchies. You also may experience much more hunger due to the ghrelin that gets increased within your body. 

Ghrelin is something that is in our bodies and is considered the hunger hormone that makes us crave different foods.  If you stimulate the endocannabinoid system, it can improve the hunger, and also will cause the hunger pangs.  Beta caryophyllene along with myrcene also are what increase this. 

There are also different terpenes and cannabinoids that also can make you have less of an appetite. THCV is one that actually does impact the response of the body to different types of stimuli and reduces the need for food. 

Humulin is one that also as well plays a role in the suppression of appetites, and this is usually found in those strains that are sativa dominant. The indica dominant ones usually are those that don’t have a ton of THCV, and it ca also be good for some people if they don’t want to eat too much. 

The best strains 

You want to have a strain that’s high in THC, low in the THCV for this. There are many that you can consume, and it is something that will help you get the calories that you need. Purple Kush is one that definitely is very strong, at about 75% indica, and about 20% THCD in some cases. It’s really good for making you feel like you need to reach for a snack. 

OG Kush is another one, with the same amounts of THC and indica within it, and it is one that’s more citrus in terms of taste. It also contains limonene, but also myrcene, and beta-caryophyllene. 

Purple queen is one that’s pretty potent, and has around 22% THC within it, and it’s one that’s great because it’s a euphoric kind of hybrid hat can have a great result on your appetite. It also has beta caryophyllene, linalool, and bisabol within this to help with the effects of this. 

Blackwater is one that’s good to relax, and for those who want a nighttime snack for this. It’s lemony in terms of flavor, good for anxiety, and also relieves the pain within the body. it also will stimulate the appetite within it too, due to the myrcene and the limonene that are in there. 

Girl scout cookies is one that’s super popular, and it has around 28% THC within this, and is a pretty good hybrid that definitely makes you feel hungry beforehand. It’s basically a cross of Durban poison along with OG Kush, two very powerful terpenes that are in the sativa category, and also comes with linalool, limonene, and other terpenes. 

Royal cookies is another one that contains about 25% THC in it, and this is very sweet. It’s also one that can make you feel really stoned, so make sure you don’t take this before you have to go and do something, as you probably won’t’ get around to it. Finally, we’ve got Candyland, which has very high THC levels, but is a balanced hybrid, and basically is great for activating hunger.
