Someday A Weed Pill Will Make You Skinny
It only seems fair: after spending a lifetime forcing you to compulsively seek out the highest calorie snacks your blunt-addled mind can think of (seriously, I remember mashing graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate chips together once in high school), it's about time weed repaid the favor and helped you shed a few pounds, right?

Don't start squirting EZ Cheeze on your Nilla Wafers just yet, Karl Lagerfeld, this is all a long way away from being a reality.
