I was smoking a weed strain called Pink Boost Goddess, grown by Mendocino County's Emerald Spirit Botanicals. It contains THCV, a unique compound that behaves wholly unlike THC, the most common intoxicant found in cannabis. This type of cannabis is extremely rare; however, California has become one of the best places in the world to find it. THCV cannabis has earned the nickname "diet weed" because a growing body of research shows that THCV can make you feel energetic and reduce your appetite. It sounds like a stoner fairytale ?" that a drug known for giving people "the munchies" could actually suppress your appetite. But there's actually some science to support these claims.
