| | | Thanks for sharing that. Has it helped with your appetite?
personal conclusions: I used it for shift work dysomnia, instead of sleeping pills. It works, but that was just to cover mice elf legally when Med Mary passed.

For me, it's more aspirational than rational, but that's what placebos are all about. yes... appetite enhancement is pretty universal and with the sense of taste and smell boosted, foods are more delicious. (personally, i've about passed the point where it helps me - my appetite is near zero and not helped much by anything the last couple of weeks... i've lost 60 pounds since september.)
also agreed on the drowsy factor for a sleep-aid without lagging effects of drowsiness after waking. i DO use it nightly as a sleep aid. i think that's also pretty universal. the indica strains are better than sativa for sleeping (or couch lock).
i like your comment on aspirational vs rational and placebos... i totally agree but NOW we're back to the fence sitting, i.e., {your mileage may vary}... depends on the user.
some think the placebo effect is something fake or unscientific. i think it's a valid example of the power of thought in the healing process. cannabis has a strong effect on the power of the mind, how we perceive, how we focus mental activity and the vantage point we perceive FROM.
here's tonight's moon with a tripod, no clouds and "a little" cannabis: <g> i'm getting sleepy NOW but still not hungry for cheese... (one of my former loves).

vs yesterday's moon here...

oh... and lest we forget another of the miraculous side effects of cannabis (part of the sensory enhancement) is the sexual experience. it adds three stars to lovemaking - sorta the same as enjoying food. unfortunately this appetite has gone into hiding along with my green chile cheeseburger desires. :( adios norma jean...
