From the New Scientist newsletter:

THE MUNCHIES
Some of us may have already stumbled upon a link between cannabis and
hunger. Biologists are also aware that cannabis-like compounds occur
naturally in breast milk, and that levels of these are at their highest the
day after giving birth. Now, however, in an experiment with newborn mice,
Ester Fride has the first evidence that these cannabinoids may trigger
feeding and could be vital for our survival.
