However, according to new research women who are intelligent or have high IQ are more prone to take illegal drugs in their thirties as they are open to experiment. According to the same study, cannabis, and ecstasy would attract these women a lot more than women with not a very high IQ. Since they are more open to ideas they are more open to experiment.

The study was conducted by Dr James White from Cardiff University. He found that women with a higher IQ score are more prone to taking illegal drugs than women whose IQ score read lower. He looked into the records of 8,000 women from 1970’s and they all had their IQ’s measured when they were five or ten years of age.

These women were also asked whether they had taken drugs when they were in their teens and again when they touched 30. According to their answers, women aged 30 who had higher than average IQs – between 107 and 150 -  were more than twice as likely to have used illegal substances compared to  those with scores of less than 95. As reported in dailymail.com, the researcher said that women who have more IQ tend to like taking risk and for them once or twice is no big deal.
