Despite the increasing normalization of cannabis use, it’s crucial to recognize that weed remains a psychoactive drug, warns Dr. Benedikt Fischer, a senior scientist at the London Centre for Addictions. Any substance use involves health risks.
While extensive research has been conducted on cannabis effects, there’s limited specific research on its impact on women’s health. Scientists are only beginning to explore how cannabis affects men and women differently.
Here’s a summary of current research findings:
1. Weed’s impact on fertility and pregnancy
Evidence suggests potential risks to reproductive systems. Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists advises against cannabis use during preconception, pregnancy, and lactation, citing worrisome trends indicating a risk to fetal development.
Some studies link cannabis use to lower birth weight and developmental abnormalities, though causation is not conclusively determined.
Questions persist regarding cannabis’s direct impact on fertility, with some studies suggesting chronic use may lead to reduced sperm count, ejaculation problems, and impotence in men.
Could cannabis alleviate fibromyalgia troubles in women? A recent study suggests it could.
2. Cannabis’s effect on the body
Studies reveal that women who use cannabis experience “significantly” more dizziness, greater changes in blood circulation, and increased visual-spatial impairment.
A 2010 review in the British Journal of Pharmacology suggests these differences may be related to variations in muscle mass and fat tissue distribution between men and women.
3. Cannabis and mood
Women are more likely to use cannabis to alleviate anxiety, according to research. However, a study following 1,601 students found that those who used cannabis weekly at ages 14 or 15 were twice as likely to develop depression seven years later.
Daily cannabis smokers, especially young women, were five times more likely to develop depression. A 2013 British study found that women with a cannabis use disorder faced a higher risk of anxiety, depression, and “externalizing disorders.” Dr. Fischer emphasizes that while an association exists, it’s crucial not to assume causation, as individuals with depression may self-medicate with cannabis.
In conclusion, as cannabis becomes more prevalent, understanding its nuanced effects on men and women is essential for informed decision-making regarding its use.
