''Rimonabant is the first of a new class of drugs that block the cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1). The CB1 receptor is thought to play an important role in certain aspects of human behavior and metabolism - specifically, it is thought to play a role in obesity,''
I was trying to explain to my professor that it mustn't have a huge success rate as not everyone gets the munch (I for one never get the munch when stoned,) I smoke about 10 grams of weed on the weekends and I'm 6'2'' and 168 pounds, which is pretty light.

BTW do you know what happens when the body becomes accustomed to a certain level of anandamine or any cb1/cb2 agonist, and then gets cut off...
Have you ever had to go from smoking all day every day to stone sober and focus?
Contrary to common belief Marijuana withdrawal does exist.
Essentially it may be that people who over eat have the same problem as those who cant stop smoking, dopamine mediation through the CB circuit.
the drug would make them feel like shit, rater it would be better to satisfy the dopamine urge with things like XR amphetamines
ON a brighter note
say you were to slip some of it into a persons food, and the person in due time proceeded to smoke weed would the be pissed off and not high?
that is fucking sweet.
