ELI5 why are you extraordinarily hungry when you smoke pot?

Your body has cannabinoid receptors in lots of different regions of the body because it produces cannabinoids aswell, hunger is one of the mechanisms regulatrd by your bodys cannabinoids and their receptors. Your brain has an ancient mechanism to eat as much as you can, if you found a great food source. The optimal ratio per 100g is 35g fat to 50g carbohydrates (check your chips bags fellow stoners they are doing us dirty), if you eat sth like that, your brain shuts off your feeling of fullness. That's why you can eat a whole bag of chips after lunch even if you didn't smoke weed.
Since the cannabinoids from the weed you smoke interact with the receptors all over your body, it can happen that you trigger this mechanism and start shoving everything in your face like a literal caveman.
