Does weed cause acne or is the munchies causing acne?

 Does weed make you break out or is it what you are eating while high? Artificial colored cheese or tasty candies you have been indulging in, the pound of chocolate you ate might be the true culprit.

Stress is also a common contributor to acne. Over consumption of cannabis can encourage stress levels to increase, this releasing of the stress hormone can develop into acne breakouts. So, does weed cause acne? I'm going to say no. Picking the wrong strain when indulging can cause paranoia. This leads to increased anxiety and stress. So along with the high, you may be experiencing an acne breakout.

Benefits of cannabis for your skin

CBD is known to neutralize paranoia which can come from THC consumption. The Harlequin strain is perfect for this scenario. It has a 50-50 balance of CBD and THC.  There are many strains that will not invoke the dreaded munchies attack, here are a few strains I thought you might like to try. Durban poison and ACDC are common strains that do not give you munchies.

The smoke from your joints has a toxin in it. This, when you exhale, finds its way onto your skin. You may now be suffering from induced acne from the toxic smoke that you just exhaled.

Those chapped lips that you keep licking stop it right away you are not helping. Try applying a CBD balm for those chapped lips.

Ointments that are infused with CBD oils are great for hand moisturizers. These hand ointments are used for a pain reliever for those suffering from arthritis. The topical ointment is very useful for general inflammation of the skin.

Skin that is subjected to smoke will age faster. This is not only your face but your hand's age also holding the joint receiving smoke from others in the room. It is virtually impossible to not get smoke on your skin while partaking.
