Does Smoking Bong Make You Lose Weight?
Alright, it's definitely an interesting question because it definitely CAN help you lose weight (for me and many others I've seen). But it's not in the way that you think, so let’s clear the smoke and answer the burning question.
First off, a bong doesn’t have calories (obviously). But it can affect the body in weird ways. THC—that magical compound we all love—can interact with your metabolism, your appetite, your sleep, and your energy levels. And all of those things influence weight.
Here's what I've personally noticed:
-
Sometimes I eat more, like when I get hit with the munchies and clean out an entire bag of chips. But…
-
Sometimes I eat less, because I’m so relaxed I just forget to eat or I sleep through meals (true story).
-
I’m more mindful, especially when I’m high and really tuning in to how full I feel. I don’t eat out of boredom as much.
-
Stress-eating? Not really a thing, because my anxiety is on chill mode. That alone has changed my relationship with food big time.
The Science Says...
There have been some studies (yes, real ones) that found cannabis users tend to have lower body mass index (BMI) on average. This doesn’t mean bongs are the new diet pill, but it’s still super interesting. One theory is that cannabis may help regulate insulin and improve metabolism. Another is that it just helps people sleep and chill the hell out—and that alone can help reduce weight gain.
And let’s be real, if you’re smoking out of a bong, it’s one of the smoother, cleaner ways to toke. Less coughing, more chill. Less harsh than blunts or joints, which could make your sesh last longer without totally crashing after. That means more energy, more focus, and maybe even more walks outside (yes, those count as cardio).
So Can Smoking A Bong Make You Lose Weight?
Smoking weed in general won’t automatically make you lose weight. Especially not if you're munching like a maniac every night. But using a bong, chilling out, sleeping better, managing stress, and being more mindful with food? All of that adds up.
I’m not saying throw out your scale and spark up instead. But I am saying that for some of us, hitting the bong helps create the kind of mental clarity and vibe that leads to better choices. And sometimes, those choices = weight loss.
