New research reveals cannabis users are big fans of delivery apps and fast food. Explore the munchie connection, their top food choices, and healthy ways to manage the munchies.
In a "shocking" turn of events, we recently found out that people who consume THC like to order food from Doordash. GASP (clutches pearls)! If you have been in suspended animation for the last 1000 years and somehow need proof that stoners get the munchies, data shows cannabis users are much more likely to indulge in delivery and fast food. A recent survey by Numerator looked at nearly 6,000 people who use cannabis products, and they can confirm - ganja makes you feel hungry. This left us scratching our heads. The report probably cost a fortune, but did anyone ever think to Google "the munchies" before they spent God knows how long putting this together?
The link between weed and food delivery has always been strong. Cannabis users are way more likely to have used DoorDash (65% more!) in the past few months than average diners. Daily smokers are the real delivery champions, with a whopping 142% increase in DoorDash orders compared to non-smokers...and in other news, cars have wheels, and cows say moo. Seriously, we're still trying to figure out what rock these folks lived under that they needed a research paper to prove to the world that pot smokers like sandos, tacos, and 'za.
The study also reveals favorite fast food spots for the munchie crowd. Little Caesars takes pole position, with cannabis users 31% more likely to have ordered there. Other favorites include Jersey Mike's, Taco Bell, Jack in the Box, and major pizza chains. Convenience store chain Wawa also made the list, we assume, because Wawa does some seriously chompable hot hoagies!
If you take part in the cheba that's great, but just please, like anything else, consume responsibly and don't let the munchies control your food intake. It's a temporary side effect of the drug. No seriously, it's all in your head! You aren't actually hungry. That triple meat, extra cheese, with pineapple, and jalapeno pizza, plus a side of wings, extra ranch, and breadsticks, with a big shake, and a pack of cookies is more of a "high-dea" than a real craving. Remember that when smoking the reefer your brain will make your peepers bigger than your tummy. Some great ways to manage the munchies are to drink plenty of water and keep low-calorie, healthy snacks like veggies and nuts around in case the mangia mood is overwhelming.
Eat well and stay safe folks.
