Do girls have a lower tolerance..?

Welp..

I just got back from a long ass trip..i was without a single puff for 3 weeks. While my gf smoked a couple of times while i was gone. To celebrate my safe return we rolled a fat blunt and smoked it. Now what happened after a while my girl got dizzy..and then was knocked out cold by the blunt. I mean she literally fainted in my arms. Just collapsed.

I've never been so scared in my life. I felt really bad since it was my herb and all. She is under strict guidlines from now on when it comes to bud :D

The thing is she has really low blood pressure and i think that's what caused her to ''whitey''..

Any similar experiences girls ? Do you find yourself smoking less than boys to get where you're going ?

Its an individual thing Im sure it has nothing to do with being male or female.

im male, and consider myself a very heavy smoker in my area. Ive met a handful of people who have been able to throw down, and surprisingly enough of the few 2 have been women. I think it comes down to individual physiology and experience.

I once thought that women might have a lower tolerance to it, but i think it may have to do with their size comparatively as well.
if your 1/3 bigger than someone.. it might take more active ingredient per body weight.

Well, physiologically girls are different from men, and psychologically, so their highs might differ a little bit. I've met a lot of chicks that don't even feel much or look that stoned after smoking.

heh it seems like most girls that smoke dont really get effected by it.... theyre very social creatures, it would take something like heroin to shut their mouths. :D

Yeah i figure it must be individual too...i mean her bloodpressure is really really low..unhealthy even. Blunts are definatley out! Not that i smoke any of them often. Twice a year maybe. I on the otherhand have hypertension so it works really well for me.

Right! This really is pretty simple for the most part. Males have a larger body mass than females. So, (all other things being equal) it takes less drug to affect them than a male.
Don't know if low blood pressure would have an effect though. Kinda thought that pot might slightly raise it....I know it increases heart rate for sure.

I've read on the NORML website that short term effects of smoking MJ (right after smoking) does raise blood pressure/heart rate but the long term effects (though out day) does seem to lower blood pressure...

She should see a doctor (if she hasn't already) about that low blood pressure , can be as dangerous as high blood pressure...

It slightly raises blood pressure and heart rate, but after 10 15 minutes or so it lowers your blood pressure and usually heart rate as well, with regular use it has virtually no impact on blood pressure or heart rate. Of coarse its somewhat strain dependant as well. Just passing along my personal experience with weed.

Some girls are VERY FREAKING annoying when high for that very reason, but some are anything but, you know the ones that talk about either funny shit or something with some substance to it. :joint:

LOL...this is kinda funny.

I personally think it has to do with how much you smoke. (regularity) If a girl is smoking daily, then her tolerance will eventually go up...just like with most other "drugs". I have seen many girls (the large majority) that toke right along - being no different than any of the guys. I have also found myself in numerous situations where the girls are the only ones wondering if anyone else is gonna fire up.

Maybe I just know too many heads.....lol.

Is it just me or does "My ol' lady'll out smoke most guys on this forum and that's no bullshit" sound like a bullshit statement? Are you supplying the weed to see if she can out smoke me or should I bring my own? Maybe we should pitch in together and invite a few thousand of the IC male members to join in? I'm from Missouri, the show me state.

I have the same problem everyone else in my fam has high blood pressure mines really freaking low. what it could be though it something called orthostatic syncope which means some time u pass out when u change position like get up to quickly and having that rush of blood leav your head. In my case its caused by a block in one of the banches of my heart which iis like nature pacemaker. next time she goes to the doc tell them to do an EKG and look for a similar block. with me sometime when i get off the couch i get dizzy now a day i can tell when its coming on and just squat down. its just that ur BP doesnt shoot up quick ennough when u change position and u lose blood from ur head. not a big thing to worry bout.
