Cannabis In Your 50s

Tokyo Smoke

According to the Journal of Health Economics, adult use of cannabis has increased in areas where legislation has occurred. In some instances, amongst the 55-64 year old age group, cannabis use rose from 1.1% in the early aughts, to nearly 6% by 2015. A small, but perceptible increase. Some of these adults are the very same baby boomers who took part in demystifying cannabis some 30 years ago. But then, some are NEW to cannabis. Today we’re speaking with two women in their 50s. Experimenting, and assessing how it fits into their lives now that they have grown children and more free time for activity and personal development.
