Stone, the world is stoned, especially for women. These are indeed more likely to suffer from the bad effects of smoking cannabis, such as depression, anxiety, and paranoia. In any case, this is revealed by a new study published in the Journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence . The reason ? Their estrogen level would make them more sensitive to its active ingredients, especially THC.
Experts had already noted that today's cannabis is more concentrated in THC, which means more panic attacks, confusion, hallucinations etc. Further increased risks for women, therefore. Previous studies have also shown that they are more likely than men to abuse it and become dependent on it.
For them, the symptoms of addiction include irritability, sleep problems, and a decrease in food intake that can become serious. They are also more likely to relapse when they quit smoking.
The only area where THC seems to have a much more pronounced effect on men is appetite stimulation…
In contrast, cannabis use has the same negative effects on male and female fertility. In short, all we remember is that we're taking it (really) easy on the "oinj" (but nothing prevents you from shooting at NTM #Cestbonça).
