New Research Shows Bisexual Women Are Seven Times More Likely To Consume Medical Cannabis Than Heterosexual Women
Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health conducted a report, published in the journal ‘Drug and Alcohol Dependence’, and the results show that bisexual women are seven times more likely to consume medical cannabis on a daily basis than heterosexual women.
The study also found that “40 per cent of bisexual women had used medical marijuana in the last year. Just 10 per cent of heterosexual women and 26 per cent of gay women had done so”.
“Just 1.5 per cent heterosexual women engaged in daily medical marijuana usage, compared to six per cent of gay women and 10 per cent of bisexual women”.
“After analysing data from 126,463 adults in the 2015-2017 US's National Survey on Drug Use and Health, researchers suggested that, the stigma faced by bisexual women could drive more of them to take the drug”.
“Both bisexual and gay women could be self-medicating to ease “sexual minority stress”, the report states.
“Our results support existing literature by demonstrating that bisexual women have higher marijuana use disorder compared to heterosexual women,” one of the study's authors' Morgan Philbin, said.
