Sounds like anorexia. Or bulimia. Whatever, I don't know the difference.
But there is a medically diagnosed psychological condition where people starve to death because they stopped eating, because they stopped getting hungry.
No comment on the part about marijuana, because I don't know enough on the subject to make any reliable statements.
Anorexia nervosa is caused by someone refusing to eat even a normal diet, because the person thinks he or she is "fat". Usually the person is actually underweight.
Bulimia nervosa often goes along with anorexia but can occur alone as well. In this case, people will purge themselves of whatever food they ate. Often this follows either binge-eating, or what the person considers to be binge-eating (which may simply be a normal sized meal).
I don't think either one really fits the OP since he isn't trying to purge himself, nor is he really calling himself fat and punishing himself for wanting to eat. Instead, he is finding that his body reacts negatively to food.
I do however recommend a doctor. This could be a mental issue, or it could also be symptoms of another physical issue.
Is it normal to not want to eat... ever.
