So they're trying to make Skinny Girl Weed a thing.

The last thing I worry about when I smoke pot is wether or not it will make me fat. You can imagine my surprise when I read an article about the brand 'SkinnyGirl' that is now trying to branch out to the marijuana market.
Do I even have to start explaining what the hell is wrong with this?
It's bad enough that we live in an age where women get the chance of chosing a low-carb, no-calories, no-fear-of-fat cocktails, without it having to spread to the world of weedsmokers.
What started out with the 'SkinnyGirl Marguarita" is now resulting in a tidal wave of low-calorie drugs (because yes, alcohol is a drug too).
To me personally, part of the fun of smoking is the munchies I get when I'm well into my high.
It's not unusual for me to raid the fridge and come up with the weirdest stoner recipes. And I get a great deal of joy out of said activity.
I guess you can say that I'm lucky and have a good metabolisme so why would I of all people worry about the calory-intake caused by getting high?
I care because I am an exception. I care because I think it's wrong to make women feel bad about their weight in every aspect of their lives.
Smoking pot was one of the last things bigger people were allowed to do without feeling guilty about the product choice they make. There's no survey that says White Widow will make your munchies worse than let's say Purple Haze (yes I'm going for golden oldies) and neither should there ever come one!

If you have ever lit up a doobie yourself, you'll know about the hunger it causes an hour into your high. You know that from the stories you've been told and the thousands of television and movie excerpts depicting this famous stoner-activity.
So don't go telling me that 'you didn't know weed could make you fat'. In my humble opinion: don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
Of course my munchies result into extra fat-intake and of course my body will take to the fat like a slut takes to a sugardaddy. The point is that I'm willing to do the time for my crime.
Binge eating because I've smoked too much is compensated by an extra painful round around the tracks. Gorged on Coca Cola? Better make sure the next days are water-only days.
If you're not willing to pay the piper: why bother?
Skinny Girl weed to me is just another way to make women (and men) feel bad about themselves in every aspect of their lives.
