My theory fellow pot smokers is this ... THC is fat soluble. women have more fat cells then men. so wouldn't it be fair to say, that a woman would get higher off of the same amount of pot as a man because more THC is dissolved into her blood via the extra fat cells?
That's a really interesting theory. I suppose that women could store more THC in their more numerous fat cells. But I don't think that stored THC would result in a stronger high. If anything, the increased THC storage would only mean a longer wait to clean out your system, should you need to do so. THC in fat cells is not getting you high. Your high would still depend on the amount you initially consume. I would think that larger body mass means more blood, which means more active space for THC, and a potentially stronger high, relative to how much you've smoked, and any existing tolerance. So it is kind of a paradox. A smaller person would get higher than a larger person off of the same amount of pot. But a larger person could put more THC in their bloodstream. So theoretically they could reach a high that would be unattainable for a smaller person. I think that your theory is valid in terms of body mass, but not in terms of the number of fat cells. Women usually have less body mass, so they would indeed get higher than a man off of the same amount of pot.
