Increased appetite is a symptom commonly associated with cannabis intoxication and is often referred to as "the munchies." This phenomenon occurs due to the way cannabinoids interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, which influences appetite regulation. While other substances can lead to poor coordination, bloodshot eyes, and slow decision-making, these symptoms are not unique to cannabis and can be observed with other substances or even due to various health conditions. Increased appetite, however, is particularly distinctive to cannabis use, making it the most recognizable symptom associated with its intoxication.
