A federal survey on marijuana use in the U.S. found that senior citizens were the fastest-growing consumer base.
In fact, the number of cannabis users over the age of 65 has more than tripled in recent years, from 11 percent in 2009 to 35 percent in 2021.
For many seniors, marijuana can be effective for pain relief or as a sleep aid.
Some analysts believe the actual number is even higher – because many boomers might feel nervous about admitting to marijuana use on a survey.
Have your parents ever admitted to using marijuana? Thanks, Killabrew.
