   I think people who have a problem with anorexia should try smoking pot. Just a thought from a personal standpoint. I can’t imagine anyone having that strong of willpower avoiding a brownie after smoking pot.

   A disease is an …
   A disease is an abnormal condition of an organism that impairs bodily functions, associated with specific symptoms and signs.
   In human beings,”disease” is often used more broadly to refer to any condition that causes discomfort, distress, social problems, and/or death to the person afflicted. In this broader sense, it sometimes includes disabilities, disorders, syndromes, infections and deviant behaviors.
   While many diseases are biological processes others involve alterations of behavior.

   lol, actually they are doing research on this and it shows some promise. They use it for cancer patients and they are testing it on anorexia patients as well. Google anorexia and marijuana. Next time don’t jump to conclusions you nitwit.

   While I’m not …
   While I’m not advocating for or against marijuana use, I don’t think advising anyone with an eating disorder to smoke pot is such a good idea. Obviously there are psychological problems already apparent and introducing a substance that may alter ones state of mind would likely have a negative outcome one way or another. It is widely known that to break a habit you must replace it with another, to replace not eating with anything other than eating correctly is counter productive.

    I understand what …
    I understand what you’re saying however psychiatry is not an exact science if it were we wouldn’t have all these people with psych problems. The reason we have all these drugs is to try by trial and error. If one doesn’t work doctors try something else. Hence the research on marijuana use with eating disorders. It has been advocated for AIDS/HIV patients.

    The risk/benefits …
    The risk/benefits obviously need to be weighed, then again the risk are far fewer than conventional medication. The losers would be the drug companies.

    eating disorders …
    eating disorders are definitely socially constructed. if society didnt place such a high value on thinness, people wouldnt strive to govern their bodies that way.

    “disordered eating” i’ve heard it all ! LOLLLL We’ve made ourselves dizzy with
    ALL food related subjects ! If we had lives like the pioneers we’d be busy “working” and not playing mind games. Never has something been so ” coddled” so enabled and supported
    by it’s own participants. Please don’t get mad at me for writing this as it’s ” not my fault” due to previous trauma(s)
