When stoned, how and why, what and where to eat in DC

There is no greater joy than getting weed delivery in DC, rolling up a fattie and taking a hit from that pink runtz j then sitting down to have a nice amazing meal. Sometimes I will go to the weed dispensary near me but I prefer Lucky Chuckie over anything hands down there is no comparison. So, I have trouble with my appetite. Like for real. I have to get high or be pretty close to starvation before I eat anything. Day to day I have to make myself eat. I could watch cooking channels, cruise the isles of the grocery store, pinterest recipes and nothing does it for me until I smoke indica. At that moment, I am suddenly transformed from a bag of bones to a real person with an actual appetite.

Having a healthy appetite is something that many people struggle with but are too shy to disclose to their peers because it's often misunderstood and opens the door to be made fun of in a public setting. You don't like to eat-How unpopular is it that? Are you anorexic dear? No, I'm just not freaking hungry right now, and I don't mean me, I mean my body and my brain are not hungry. I’m not eating anything for good luck either, like I could care less about food and yes this does cause me problems. A major reason why I’m so hesitant to share this with anyone is because I feel like everyone in America is trying so hard to lose weight (because they all are) and I’m over here making sure that I eat enough calories every day so I can get proper nutrients to my brain. Not eating has affected my health, and has caused a lot of unintentional weight loss. Even doctors don't understand and are more selfishly interested in how I lost some weight rather than maybe what is causing me to lose weight.

I have done a lot of reading and research ondc weed and there is a specific area of the brain that scientists have identified that is directly affected by the use of cannabis users. There are people in the world with chronic illness, cancer, severe depression etc that desperately need help and this science is really cool because now that weed legalization is here the interest in the research is exploding in popularity. Strains like bubble gum gelato, butterfingerz, and icelato can relieve physical and emotional pain. Cannabis stimulates the hunger hormones within the brain, and this has been proven through studies done on lab animals-lucky ducks!!!! Never thought I would trade places with a lab rat but in this case-sign me up! I think it's fairly obvious that cannabis has the same effect on the human brain as it does on animals. Visit the parking lot of any local high school and you will see the effects in action. At any age, THC activates an area of your brain called the lateral hypothalamus. Did you know that cannabis can trick your brain into thinking that its hungry, even when you are full? Come on, you are smart and I bet you already knew that. But did you know that our brains are producing lipids that regulate our memory, mood, hunger hormones and appetite. THC hitches a ride on these lipids and creates a chemical bond which in turn allows it to have a cannon ball effect on our receptors. Weed makes food look more appealing, as well as smell more appealing. I have a VERY eclectic palate when i am stoned and some of my top 10 favorite things to eat in the DC area when I get baked include the following and if you haven't tried these places-this food will change your life!!!
