Very low doses of delta 8-THC increase food consumption and alter neurotransmitter levels following weight loss.

“We have investigated the effect of 0.001 mg/kg delta(8)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on food consumption, cognitive function, and neurotransmitters in mice…

Cognitive function showed a tendency to improve in the THC-treated mice…

Delta(8)-THC increased food intake significantly more than did delta(9)-THC, while performance and activity were similar.

Thus, delta(8)-THC (0.001 mg/kg) caused increased food consumption and tendency to improve cognitive function, without cannabimimetic side effects.

Hence, a low dose of THC might be a potential therapeutic agent in the treatment of weight disorders.”
