Men who use cannabis occasionally may experience stronger effects from the drug than women who have similar use habits, Fox News reported. Researchers at UCLA Health conducted a study that found occasional male cannabis users reported more pronounced effects, including anxiety and an elevated heart rate, compared to women with similar THC levels. [1]
The study was published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology, according to Fox News. It involved 44 healthy adults between the ages of 21 and 55, with an equal split of men and women. The researchers categorized the participants based on whether they used cannabis frequently or occasionally. [1]
According to Fox News, each participant took part in three separate test sessions. During these sessions, participants smoked cannabis containing no THC, a lower amount of THC, or a higher amount of THC. Participants did not know which formulation they were receiving during any of the sessions. [1]
