There’s a surprising trend bubbling up among older adults—cannabis use is skyrocketing! A recent study reveals that marijuana consumption among Americans aged 65 and older has jumped by an impressive 46% in just two years. This data was front and center at a retirement community in Rio Vista, where residents gathered to celebrate“420 Day.”
During this lighthearted event, seniors shared their experiences of how smoking cannabis keeps them feeling youthful and helps manage the inevitable aches and pains that come with aging. Members expressed their joy at being able to enjoy life without the worry of harming anyone or the constraints of traditional medications.
This trend prompts a conversation about wellness in our later years. Many might ask,“Is using cannabis out of the ordinary for seniors?”With the changing attitudes toward marijuana across the nation, it seems that embracing this herb could be the new norm for those looking to improve their quality of life. After all, who wouldn’t want to feel younger and spryer while reminiscing about the good ole days?
