Why do you get the "munches" when you smoke marijuana?

Why when you smoke marijuana, you get the urge to eat?
Answer:
I've heard two theories. One, that I think is wrong, is that smoking marijuana lowers your blood sugar, which will make you hungry

The second one is that cannabinoid receptors in the brain (what marijuana works on) play a part in controling hunger. I agree more with this one.

The source page talks about the second one.
You don't get the 'munchies' when you are smoking marijuana. You get them after you're through smoking LOL!
Maybe you can find a botonist who'll reply on this one. There
definately is a trigger reaction, to wanting food afterward tho.
