"Anorexia", by itself, just means lack of appetite, which is common with many medications and serious diseases. No matter how much the person knows they have to eat, they find it difficult to do so and drop weight rapidly. They may attempt to force food down and find themselves unable to do so.
What you are referring to is anorexia nervosa, which marijuana likely wouldn't help for the reasons you listed.
