Use of MJ at healthy weight

Anyone on here who has obtained MJ by lying about their already healthy weight etc? I’m v curious to know your experience, have you only needed the lower doses, did you stay on it for maintenance etc etc

This thread shows how typical it is for a few to potentially ruin it for those of us who actually need the drug. I hope the pharmacies start cracking down on the liars.

How bitter! Your need isn’t greater just because you’re bigger, it works for smaller people too, why shouldn’t it be made easier for everyone?

That’s precisely why my need is greater. If you actually don’t know why it shouldn’t be made “easier for everyone” then you need to work on your reading comprehension because DAMN!

No, you just don’t want it to be made easier for people who have already been able to control their weight somewhat. Give one good reason why it should exclusively only be easier for obese people?

It's a bit bizarre that several people who have posted about lying to get the jabs would appear to fit the criteria to get them prescribed anyway (though possibly not with the specific provider they were applying to)

If you are so confident then why can't you lose the weight without drugs in the first place?

Just out of interest, did you not know how to lose weight healthily before?
When you stop completely those hunger pangs are immense. They come back and you feel as though you have never felt so hungry!
We all know how to lose weight, but it is having the will power to overcome the hunger.
That is why so many people have put on weight in the first place - will power.

Would you ask someone who was here talking about being obese, whether they didn't know how to lose weight before?
Knowledge isn't the problem when it comes to weight loss. We all know the theory, putting it into practice is another matter entirely.

Maintenance, whilst still a challenge, is much easier to maintain than a consistent calorie deficit.

Does anyone know whether, If its hard on the pancreas, it increases your chances of developing pancreatic cancer?

I am on it btw, with zero side effects. It seems too good to be true tbh
