Let me first say I am a raging codie but I am also an addict. In the beginning it made me loose so much weight because it made me not eat and it was a natural laxative. However, now it has no effect on my "daily functions"( I know...TMI) and I can also go to the movies, order a huge bag of extra buttered popcorn, goobers, raisinettes, twizlers, a giant frozen coke, do a huge fat bump and eat and drink every bit of my movie snacks while high as cooter brown and calm as monk watching the movie. This ONLY happens to someone that has being doing it a really long time. If you add alcohol to the mix, the "coke head" can steadily put on a lot of weight from all those drink calories. Think John Belushi and Chris Farley. I would also eat to disguise my being high from my naive exes.
