A recent study, which may well stretch the smile of marijuana smokers, has appreciated the substance marijuana. It observed less obesity incidents among users as compared to other groups.

While briefing the research findings, researcher Yann Le Strat marked the conclusion as surprising as cannabis use was observed to have a close association with higher levels of physical activity and said: "As an addiction psychiatrist, I see every day people struggling with cannabis dependence. I would not recommend smoking cannabis for any reason”.

In addition, Yann Le Strat has also insisted that cannabis extracts may play a key role to help people for achieving their weight loss goal. Further, he expressed confidence to soon acknowledge further studies that can particularly pinpoint the actual substance and then make them available in drug form.

Besides research briefing, the expert has also emphasized on the negative health effects of cannabis smoking including physical as well as a number of mental health complexities, and greater risk of developing psychosis and advised the people to make a distance from it.

Simultaneously, some researchers have anticipated that cannabis smokers also have an involvement in other activities that can also contribute to minimize obesity risk.
