Washington [US], May 1 (ANI): According to research published in peer-reviewed The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse, older people who, or the ones above the age of 30 use cannabis to relieve or treat health problems are failing to discuss their substance use with doctors.
This is despite some using cannabis every day of the year and others having mental health problems, according to a study of more than 17,000 people aged 50 and over in the US.
The research is the first to identify where older users get cannabis with the majority saying obtaining it was easy. Those taking cannabis for health reasons are more likely than non-medical (recreational) users to buy it at a medical dispensary (20% vs 5%) and less likely to get it for free (25% vs 46%) or from other sources such as parties (49% vs 56%).
