Are they though?

I genuinely don't know. I only have anecdotal observations.

Certainly in my own case when I was smoking weed every day I was clinically underweight. Not for any real reason other than just not having much appetite. Daily smokers don't really get the munchies as such.

It's certainly not true for other amphetamines et cetera.

    Yeah, people gravitate towards drugs to self-medicate various traumas [1]. It is common for trauma to cause bad eating habits. [2]

    I’ve been mostly a daily smoker for a couple of years and still get munchies btw.
