Marijuana provides more pain relief for men than women

[packman]

And that is why, eventually, it will be medically approved by all 50 states that have male-dominated lawmakers.

A reason to not destroy the current laws meant to protect us?

3. other studies have found.

Women are more likely to feel pain more intensely than men.

Edibles help with pain - smoking helps me forget about it.

4. LOL--and they determined this based on a study involving mostly male subjects?

Seriously, maybe what they actually found out is that women don't like any body parts immersed in cold water:

In this study, the researchers analyzed data from two double-blinded, placebo-controlled studies looking at the analgesic effects of cannabis in 42 recreational marijuana smokers. After smoking the same amount of either an active or placebo form of cannabis, the participants immersed one hand in a a cold-water bath until the pain could no longer be tolerated. Following the immersion, the participants answered a short pain questionnaire.

After smoking active cannabis, men reported a significant decrease in pain sensitivity and an increase in pain tolerance. Women did not experience a significant decrease in pain sensitivity, although they reported a small increase in pain tolerance shortly after smoking.
