Cannabis use and obesity. Can it be protective?

The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse has just published a follow-up study on the relationship between cannabis and obesity in young adults.

The authors, who examined the data of cannabis consumption and BMI for 21 years, found that 50.9% of young adults reported use of cannabis in the last month or year and 34.1% had BMI ≤ 25. Multivariate analysis showed that those who had used cannabis were less likely to be categorised in the BMI ≥ 25 group with the least prevalence of overweight/obesity being observed in every day cannabis users. 

Therefore, they concluded that there is a lower prevalence of overweight and obesity among young adult cannabis users. However, they also admit athat further research is needed to examine the mechanism of this association.
