In an eating contest, is herb considered a performance enhancing drug?

[Big D]

I don't know.... is it?

I'm thinking about getting in to it. If nothing else its free food! I can eat... even when I haven't smoked... but when I have the munchies, well put it this way. When I go to the local chinese buffet, after about an hour the ladies gather around the line, they stop bringing out food and one of the ladies said to me once, "you to buku!"

You think they drug test for these things?

This is what happens when I wake and bake

 

[ureapwhatusow]

i would say weed is the competitive eating equivalent to bodybuilders using steroids

 

[Big D]

So its cheating? ....Nah!

 

[mandi paige]

if I get high and go to a buffet, I usually take it as a personal challenge and eat a shit ton of food

 

[Pythagllio]

Steroids increase body muscle mass resulting in an advantage. Cannabis makes you want to eat, your stomach is still the same size as it was before you ingested.

 

[Norrath]

i used to get hard core munchies, but havent really lately - though i have been smoking a great deal more as of late too..

perhaps it doesnt have the same effect on me? je ne sais pas:/

still, WITH the munchies, cmon...big bonus to eating ability

 

[Pythagllio]

Bonus how? You can fit the same amount of food in your stomach whether you have the munchies or not.

 

[Norrath]

dont know, what does cannabis DO to our bodies to create faux appetite?

we'll find out yet, P

 

[Dr Dog]

I can still only eat what I could have with not being high

 

[Pythagllio]

The people that compete in eating contests have no appetite problem to correct.

Perhaps the anti-emetic properties of cannabis could be said to give the people in eating contests an advantage. Because you lose if you puke.

 

[grapeman]

LOL. What does the "Federation of Competitive Eating" have to say on the subject?

Oh? No such organization. My bad.

But I must say, Norrath's avatar is simply perfect. I could look t that all day.

 

[Pythagllio]

IFOCE doesn't count?

One word: Endocannabinoids; specifically one named anandamide, from the Sanskrit ananda, meaning inner bliss. Makes you eat eat eat...

 

[ureapwhatusow]

what about dropping mad bombs to spoil the competitions appetite ??

 

[Big D]

lol, I am going to have to find out whether they drug test at the big competitions, like the Nathans one. I bet they don't. Man you can get some CASH!

Yeah weed doesn't make food digest any faster or make your throat or stomach bigger. The difference to me is, normally when its dinner time I'm just hungry... when I have the munchies, I'm CARNIVOROUS!
I eat six SMALL meals a day, I very rarely eat any junk.... but I love it and sometimes I go nuts when I have consumed cannabis, especially BUDDER, which is what brought up this question.

 

[Bobby Stainless]

I like to eat too!

 

[Big D]

Ok so I waked and baked again. And I was thinking... it would be cool to have an eating contest where everyone was HIGH and had the munchies and what better place to do it but a cannabis cup type event. After the judging of the herb

So its official as soon as they legalize weed where I live, I am going to start a CUP that includes an eating contest and.... a best BOOTY contest It will be legendary!

 

[geopolitical]

I thought it stimulated your gastro-hypothalamic and that decreased both feelings of fullness and at the same time increased the relative palatability of the food.

As for your stomach being the same size it is VERY easy to stretch out your stomach and yes, it can remain stretched.

 

[Pythagllio]

Yes, the stomach can be stretched. The serious competitors have been in training, doing so.

Face it, the stomach at the point of entry into the contest is a finite size, and can hold only so much food.
