Even though cannabis use and legalization is at an all-time high in the United States, there’s still a
lot of missing chapters when it comes to what we know scientifically about how the plant really
works because it still remains illegal at the federal level.

One thing we know for sure is that it affects people differently. With hundreds of cannabis strains
(https://cannabis.net/strains) out there, even if Blue Dream
(https://cannabis.net/strains/hybrid/blue-dream) works perfectly for you, the same strain can give
someone else a headache or anxiety. We can all work with suggested strains and recommended
doses, but there is still no one-size-fits-all solution or explanation to how some people will react
with cannabis. And there probably never will be.
Here’s why.
Gender
Biochemistry
To put it simply, some people are just more sensitive to certain things than others. Remember that
an individual may be allergic to cannabis just like how a person can be allergic to alcohol or certain
food. In the same vein, a few sips of coffee can send one person palpitating while the next person
can consume up to three cups a day with no physical changes whatsoever. Some individuals are
more biologically adept at absorbing the drug into their bloodstream as well. There are
physiological factors, such as lung volume and surface area, lung capacity, heart rate, breath
duration, pH levels, and vascularity which can affect how cannabis is absorbed in the human body.
Additionally, the method one uses to ingest cannabis will also impact the absorption process.
Tolerance (https://cannabis.net/blog/how-to/what-to-do-if-your-cannabis-tolerance-is-too-high)
Clearly, a more experienced cannabis consumer will experience a high drastically differently from
someone who’s only toked up a few times. The more cannabis you’ve consumed in your lifetime,
the more recently, and the more frequently will all have an impact on your tolerance. Over time
your body will get used to the cannabinoids and terpenes, which will make you less sensitive to the
effect of cannabis.
Genetics
Health
A person who uses cannabis recreationally will have a completely different experience from
someone who is using cannabis to treat an ailment or disease. If you are suffering from a
condition whether serious or not, it will have an impact on your endocannabinoid system, the
receptors, and how your body will respond to cannabis.
Distribution
How much cannabis arrives at the site of action is largely based on the distribution processes,
which will differ from one person to another. Some of these factors will include absorption
combined with other variable such as body fat index, body mass, and gender.
These are just some of the reasons we understand today why cannabis affects people differently,
although certainly more studies need to be done to better understand it. Finding the right method
of administration, dosage, and cannabis strain that’s perfectly suited to your recreational or
medical needs requires a lot of patience, trial, and error.
