The start of the new year represents new beginnings and a fresh start for many. No matter what the prior year may have been like, the brand-new calendar year is a clean slate. Often, many celebrate by creating a New Year’s resolution for what they hope to achieve in the coming year, and one of the most popular goals is weight loss. While people often associate cannabis with the munchies and eating, some strains anecdotally seem to help individuals reach their weight loss goals. Three strains you can experiment with to see if they help you shed some unwanted pounds are Skunk, Dutch Treat, and Willie Nelson.
