Nah, I'm not starting a basic weed tutorial thread to teach new users the basics like "female weed=good, male weed=bad).
I've noticed that an overwhelmingly large percentage of the ppl that I know who consume cannabis in some shape or form are males. Now, I'm sure the first logical thought most of you have is "You probably just know more men than women", which is probably true, but not by such a sweeping majority. Even if I was familiar with as many women as men, i still wouldnt know many female "stoners" (i dont like this term personally, but i'll be using it for ease of use as opposed to saying "people who smoke/vape" or other lengthy all-inclusive references).
For instance, my male friends pretty much ALL smoke/vape (unless they HAVE to stop to get a job or pass a test), but NONE of their g/fs do. My g/f doesnt either. These women aren't just shying away from it because they're not experienced either. They've pretty much all smoked it numerous times in the past, they just quit for whatever reason.
And they never have a good reason for why they quit either. I personally don't like "non-stoners" hanging around during vaping or any other ganja related activities and transactions because part of my mind just keeps screaming "NARC!". So, naturally, someone passing it up spurs me to barrage them with questions as to why.
When i've asked some of them, they tell me about how they were into serious drugs, along with pot, and that they were out of control and had to quit, and when they quit coke/meth/whatever they quit smokin pot too. They usually say "they didnt like the person they were" or something like that. I ask them if they think it was the weed that created the problem and they almost always say "No" and then can't come up with any good reason when I ask why they felt they needed to quit that too then. I think these ppl are just the type that are... weak-willed for a lack of a better term. You know, how some stoners can ration things out and partake of it responsibly and still go on with the rest of their lives and yet some act like total fiends who will steal from friends/family or sell heirlooms and such to get their next bag and then do absolutely nothing but sit on the couch 24/7.
Some say (and this is the one that pisses me off to no end) "I just grew out of it.", as if weed is only for lesser, immature ppl. I think these ones are the ppl who just smoked because it was the cool thing to do at the time, not because they enjoyed it. Like they associate smoking pot with the delinquent, adolescent, dumb things that they did with their friends while skipping school back in 7th grade more than with the actual effect. They think, obviously, that you can't be a responsible, employed adult/parent and still enjoy weed.
Some people just say no because of something they wont talk about that happened in the past. As if they smoked weed before and ended up acting like they were drunk and on acid and are too embarrassed to tell about it or risk repeating it. I can really only speculate on these ones and why they won't.
My g/fs excuse/reason is that she has asthma. First of all, i know a lot of stoners who have asthma. Second, she smokes cigarettes, so wtf is the problem with hitting a joint or especially a vape? She's SO much funnier and entertaining when she's baked too. Instead of scowls and bitching and overall negativity, she's all giggles and jokes... I've seriously been considering making some green dragon just to slip it to her w/o her knowing, esp when she's really moody.
Anyways, i just can't figure out why females seem to be so much LESS likely to be be stoners. They're all adults in their 20's or 30's, so its not that they're just uncertain and inexperienced, and most of them smoke cigarettes and/or drink, so it's not like they're concerned about effects on their health. They're not nursing or caring for toddlers or living with parents or someone who wouldnt approve either.
Of course i'm not trying to be sexist or anything here. I know there are a number of female members here and on other weed-related forums, and that's great. I'm just trying to figure out why I dont really know many in real life. Does is have a stronger, more desirable effect on males for some scientific reason? If anything, I'd figure there would be more scientific/biological reasons for females to use it than males (to help with cramps/nausea).
Has anyone else observed this among their local friends/relations? Any insight?
