1. Yeah, like we need to be motivated to eat more.

Nothing a big box store or restaurant likes more than a hungry patron.

That sample station in the corner of the parking lot of the Denver Costco is probably pretty popular!

2. Costco..

Brawawawaaaa

3. Just like what happened

... in the Netherlands!

4. I had read that this is pretty much restricted to locals only now as they

began having problems in recent years.

10. Not in Amsterdam. The Netherlands govt. backed off the locals-only thing.

5. I read here on the DU that cannabis users are less likely to be obese than non users

The "munchies" aside, pot smokers are actually less likely than non-tokers to be obese, according to a study by a French researcher.

The examination of data from two separate studies of more than 50,000 U.S. adults found that 14% to 17% of people who smoked pot at least three days per week were obese, compared with 22% to 25% among non-cannibis users.

The research team headed by Yann Le Strat, a psychiatrist at the Louis-Mourier Hospital in Colombes, France, appears in the Sept. 15 issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology.

"Initially, we thought we made a mistake," says Le Strat, according to Reuters. He says he and co-author Bernard Le Foll checked the results several times to make sure they were correct.

6. I agree. When I used to smoke a lot of hash...

I didn't get the munchies that often, but if I did, I would just imagine food often as not.

I'm a lot larger now than when I smoked.

8. Thank you

I wish Americans would grow up and stop the silly munchie and Cheech and Chong jokes.
