Bodybuilders, athletes, models, whoever needs to keep in shape, want a high metabolism. The faster the metabolism, the better we process calories for positive effects. Ganja DOES affect metabolism, fortunately or unfortunately. Smoking marijuana has been shown to lower thyroid hormones in the blood, although no study has ever shown it to have an impact on thyroid function. This potentially means that your metabolism may be lowered slightly in the short term when using marijuana, but there are unlikely to be any long lasting ill effects. Whew! So far, long lasting effects on metabolism have not been clearly noted, so take that how you want.
Probably not. There is such a thing as a slow metabolism. But slow metabolism is rare, and it's usually not what's behind being overweight or obese â that's ultimately a result of interactions among genetics, diet, physical activity and other factors. Metabolism is the process by which your body converts what you eat and drink into energy. Even when you're at rest, your body needs energy for functions such as breathing, circulating blood and repairing cells. The number of calories your body uses for these basic functions is known as your basal metabolic rate.
