THC was asked who is more sensitive. The simple answer fell apart again
Earlier research often pointed to greater THC sensitivity in women. A new experiment with 44 participants, published on 29 October in Neuropsychopharmacology, disturbed that tidy picture: men using cannabis no more than four days a week reported stronger intoxication and several unpleasant effects than some comparison groups. Researchers compared different cannabis strengths with placebo, accounting for sex and use frequency. “Men are more sensitive” is no sound replacement conclusion: the sample was small and some differences emerged in exploratory analyses.
