There is still a lot of work to be done to decrease the stigma associated with cannabis use & seniors. It is time for our seniors to stop using cannabis in the dark, due to fear of this stigma. Seniors significantly increased consumption of marijuana as a coping mechanism to deal with COVID pandemic lockdowns. Many baby boomers today perceive plant medicine as less harmful, compared to a few decades ago. These factors should fuel a trend towards seniors & cannabis development.
To eradicate the stigma among our seniors, we need to explore the following:
- Baby boomers & ways to utilize weed
- Truths about cannabis
- Cannabis regulations & law
- Medical benefits
- Therapeutic reliefs
- Compassionate weed care
- Side effects & risks
- Greying population & cannabis
- Professional practitioner advice
- Micro dosing & health benefits
In this plant medicine development. No man, woman and child or human being should be left behind.
