Good point.
Coke kills your appetite.
Weed fuels it.
Like is a stimulant.
Weed is a depressant.
So coke makes you eat less and move more.
Weed makes your eat more and move less.

One's health is directly impacted by (edit: socioeconomic class and all the luxuries that come with being privileged) their ability to afford healthcare and quality education.

Even thought it’s not true. If you smoke weed on the daily your appetite is barely there. I used to smoke weed and I was a size 6 UK, US size 2.
At the beginning yes you get the munchies but the longer you smoke the less you have an appetite at all, not to mention you can’t eat unless you do smoke a joint.

Bro...you're overthinking this. Coke is a CNS stimulant and appetite suppressant. It's gonna up your heart rate and your metabolism and youre gonna want to eat less.
THC tends to have more sedative properties and is an appetite stimulant. It's going to want to slow you down and make you eat more.
It's as simple as that.

Do you smoke daily and for a long time now? If so weed does the opposite effect and causes weight loss in my personal experience (I lost 35 lb). When my tolerance is so high I lose the ability to get high, I also lost all my appetite. Plenty of people gain a significant amount of weight after quitting chronic weed use due to their appetite coming back with a revenge.

Jep, chronic use will cause loss of appetite, but not for everyone. My mate has been a daily smoker for 25 years and never lost his appetite. I’m more sensitive to it. I feel the sweetspot is 1 fat joint in the evening. No more. This keeps thing in balance for quite a long time. Eventually after years I have to take a few months break though to reset.

In my experience, this stereotype changes drastically when we move past our 20s into our 30s. The general stereotype of a 30+ yo coke head is "ridden hard and put away wet." A 30+ year old head is usually into yoga, hiking, and has a killer lasagna recipe she wants to share with you.

A lot of people focusing on the appetite, which fair I guess, but it's also a stereotype thing.
Coke girls are stereotypically into the party scene, getting dolled up and going to expensive clubs and whatnot (after all, coke is pricey, so high class)
Weed girls may gave more of a grungy reputation (low class). Probably because theres also just more full-blown stoner girls than straight up addicted cokeheads, so they're picturing more of the pretty party girl seen above.

Weed gives you the munchies and relaxes you. More food + less movement= fat
Coke makes you hyper and stops your body from absorbing fat as easily. More movement + less fat = skinny.
