For people who smoke weed

6 reasons your
munchies are
killing you.

You're going to get the munchies either way. Here's what your go-to snacks are doing to your body, and the one munchie that's actually good for you.

Each reason ends with one easy thing you can do tonight.

An extra meal

06.

Your munchies add up to
a whole extra meal.

When you're high, you don't just snack a little. You eat way more than you think, and almost all of the extra is snacks.

+40%more calories when you smoke

In a live-in lab study, men ate about 40% more calories a day on real weed than on fake weed. The extra came from snacks, not meals.

Foltin, Fischman & Byrne, Appetite 1988;11:1-14, 6 men living in a residential lab for 13 days, active (2.3% THC) vs placebo cigarettes: total daily calories up 40%, from more snacks (sweet solids most), with no significant change at meals (abstract). Mechanism: mouse studies (Koch et al., Nature 2015; Soria-Gómez et al., Nat Neurosci 2014).

In one study, six men lived in a lab for almost two weeks while researchers tracked every bite. On real weed, the men ate about 40% more calories a day than on fake weed. The extra came from snacking more often, mostly on sweets like candy bars, while their meals stayed about the same.

Same meals. More snacks. A whole extra meal.

In animal studies, weed makes food smell stronger and flips the brain's "I'm full" signal into "keep eating." So your munchies keep going long after your stomach has had enough.

What actually helps

Eat a real dinner before you smoke, so your munchies hit a full stomach instead of an empty one.

Soda

05.

Your munchie drink is
liquid sugar.

Regular smokers drink about twice as much soda, and sugary drinks are linked to dying younger.

2xthe soda for regular smokers

People who smoked weed 11 or more days a month drank regular soda about twice as often as people who didn't smoke.

Soda: Smit & Crespo, Public Health Nutr 2001;4:781-786, NHANES III 1988–94, heavy users (11+ days a month): regular soda 35.0 vs 17.5 times a month (survey data show links, not causes). Sugary drinks and mortality: Malik et al., Circulation 2019;139:2113-2125, 118,363 US adults (Nurses' Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-up Study): 2+ sugary drinks a day vs fewer than 1 a month, hazard ratio 1.21 for death from any cause (observational). Sugar per bottle: The Coca-Cola Company, Coca-Cola Original nutrition facts, 20 fl oz bottle: 65 g total and added sugars. Daily limits: American Heart Association, How Much Sugar Is Too Much?: added sugar no more than 36 g a day for men and 25 g for women.

In one big US health survey, people who smoked weed 11 or more days a month drank regular soda about twice as often as people who didn't. Your munchies make you thirsty for something sweet, and the soda is usually right there.

Sweet drink. Big bottle. Zero vitamins.

In a study of about 118,000 US adults followed for up to 34 years, people who drank 2 or more sugary drinks a day were 21% more likely to die during the study than people who had fewer than 1 a month.

One 20-ounce bottle of cola has 65 grams of added sugar. The American Heart Association says men should keep added sugar under 36 grams a day and women under 25, so one bottle is more than your whole day.

What actually helps

Keep a big bottle of water right where you sit. Want fizz? Grab a can of plain sparkling water.

Fruit and greens

04.

Your munchies are
pushing out your
fruit and greens
.

Weed makes you crave chips and candy, not fruit. So your body misses out on the vitamins fruit and greens bring.

1/3less fruit for weed smokers

Adults who smoked weed in the past month scored about a third lower on fruit than adults who never did. Vegetables were lower too.

Fruit and vegetables: Gelfand & Tangney, Public Health Nutr 2021;24:3419-3427, NHANES 2005–16, 17,855 adults: total fruit score 2.1 vs 3.0, whole fruit 2.2 vs 3.3, total vegetables 3.1 vs 3.7 (past-month vs never users; the total diet-score gap disappeared after adjusting for alcohol and smoking). Vitamin C: Smit & Crespo, Public Health Nutr 2001, energy-adjusted 72 vs 103 mg (heavy users vs non-users). Survey data show links, not causes. Gummies: Supplement Facts panel, vitamin C 135 mg (150% DV) per pack.

In one big US survey, people who smoked weed ate less fruit and fewer vegetables than people who didn't. Calorie for calorie, heavy smokers' food also had nearly a third less vitamin C.

More chips. Less fruit. Fewer greens.

Superfood Greens Gummies are made for the moment your munchies hit. Each pack is six chewy strawberry gummies with organic greens, 10 superfruits and 150% of your daily vitamin C. The gummies taste like candy and bring the fruits and greens your snack run usually skips. The gummies don't replace fruit and vegetables. One pack a day just helps fill the gap on the nights your munchies win.*

What actually helps

Before you smoke, set one pack of Superfood Greens Gummies next to your snacks. Make the gummies your first grab.

Chips

03.

Potato chips are the
#1 food linked to
weight gain.

Of all the foods on the main list in a huge study, potato chips were tied to the most weight gained over time.

#1food linked to weight gain

In a study of more than 120,000 adults followed for up to 20 years, potato chips topped the main list of foods linked to weight gain.

Mozaffarian et al., N Engl J Med 2011;364:2392-2404, 120,877 US adults in three cohorts followed 12–20 years: +1.69 lb per 4 years for each extra daily serving of potato chips, the largest of any food on the main list (french fries, analyzed separately as a type of potato, were +3.35 lb). Observational.

In one study, researchers tracked what more than 120,000 adults ate for up to 20 years. On the main list of foods, potato chips were linked to the most weight gain: about 1.7 extra pounds every 4 years for each extra daily serving.

One serving a day. Four years. Almost 2 extra pounds.

Potato chips are salty, crunchy and easy to keep eating, and when you're high, your brain is already telling you to keep going.

Superfood Greens Gummies are the munchie that brings something good with it: organic greens, 10 superfruits and 9 vitamins in every pack, in a sweet, chewy strawberry gummy.*

What actually helps

Keep one pack of Superfood Greens Gummies right where you keep your chips, so the first thing you grab has greens in it.

Big bags

02.

The bigger your bag,
the more you eat.

You don't stop eating when you're full. You stop when the bag is empty.

2,080calories in one party bag

A 13-ounce party-size bag of classic potato chips holds 13 servings at 160 calories each.

Rolls et al., Appetite 2004;42:63-69, 60 adults given 28 g to 170 g bags of potato chips: the 170 g bag added 143 kcal across snack and dinner combined (abstract). Party bag: Lay's Classic Party Size, 13 oz, 13 servings × 160 calories = 2,080 calories (Frito-Lay/PepsiCo SmartLabel, UPC 028400310413, updated September 2025).

In one study, researchers gave adults bags of potato chips in five sizes, from 1 ounce up to 6 ounces. The bigger the bag, the more chips people ate. With the 6-ounce bag, people took in about 143 more calories that day, and they didn't eat less at dinner to make up for it.

Bigger bag. More chips. No making up for it later.

When you eat straight from a big bag, nothing tells you to stop until the bag is empty.

Superfood Greens Gummies come in single-serve packs. One pack is one serving: six gummies, with organic greens and 9 vitamins inside.*

What actually helps

Never eat straight from the big bag. Pour one serving into a bowl, then put the bag back in the cabinet before you sit down.

munchies anyway.
Make them count.

Your craving isn't going away, so give your craving something that's actually good for you.

7 in 10weed smokers get the munchies

In a survey of almost 3,000 adults who smoke weed, about 7 in 10 said weed makes them want to eat.

Munchies: Sexton et al., J Altern Complement Med 2019;25:326-335, online survey of 2,905 adult cannabis users: 72.7% reported the munchies (a self-selected sample). Gummies: amounts per pack from the Supplement Facts panel.

Here's the part that matters most: none of the first five fixes stick if junk is the only thing within reach.

You've told yourself "just a few chips." You've poured the chips in a bowl, then refilled the bowl. You've bought fruit that went bad in the fridge.

You don't need to fight your munchies. You need a munchie you actually look forward to.

Superfood Greens Gummies don't taste like a supplement. Honestly? The gummies taste better than most candy: sweet strawberry, soft and chewy, with organic greens, 10 superfruits and 9 vitamins in every pack.* One pack a day is all you need.

What actually helps

Tonight, make one pack of Superfood Greens Gummies your first munchie. Then enjoy the rest of your night.

Weed makes you hungry, but rarely for fruits and vegetables. In big US surveys, people who smoked weed ate less fruit and fewer vegetables, and their food had less vitamin C for the calories. One pack of Superfood Greens Gummies a day is an easy way to help fill that gap.*

Yes, a little. One pack has 45 calories and 7 grams of sugar, and 6 grams of that is added sugar. A 20-ounce cola has about 65 grams. Every number is on the label.

No. Superfood Greens Gummies are organic greens, fruits and vitamins in a strawberry gummy. The gummies have no THC, no CBD and no hemp, so the gummies won't get you high.

Sweet strawberry. Soft and chewy, like your favorite fruit snack, with no supplement taste. Six gummies is one serving.

One pack a day. Most people make the pack their first munchie at night. Pick the time you'll actually remember.

No. Postbiotics are made from good gut bacteria that have been heated, so the bacteria aren't alive. Because the bacteria are heated, the packs don't need a fridge.
