Top 5 Cannabis Strains for Appetite
Let's face it: we all come to cannabis for different reasons. For some, it's a lifeline. Whether recovering from illness, managing long-term conditions, or just trying to feel "normal" again when appetite disappears. For others, it's about enhancing the vibe and dialling up the munchies for movie night, raiding the fridge with friends after a smoke-up, or simply making food better than before you were high.
Whatever your reason, one thing's sure: some strains just know how to flip the hunger switch. And it's not magic (although it feels like it). It's terpenes. Those aromatic compounds do everything from lifting your mood to sparking a severe snack attack.
In particular, myrcene, caryophyllene, and linalool come together like a hunger-inducing dream team. These terpenes not only calm the body and ease the tension but also sneak into your system and whisper to your stomach: "You know what you need? Nachos. And probably ice cream." And no, you can't blame the terpenes when your housemate catches you dipping one into the other. That's all you.
By the time you're halfway through your joint or vape, you'll be eyeing the biscuit tin like it owes you money. So consider this your official warning: do a big shop before lighting up. Because once these strains hit, you'll ransack the snack drawer like an ICE agent in LA.
