"We bus senior citizens from Laguna Woods to our dispensary. At our dispensary, we give them lunch. We provide them with an educational orientation, an opportunity to interact with the vendor companies, and then also they can enter the dispensary and take a tour, or they can also make a purchase if they want to. We've been doing this for about eighteen months, it's been a huge success. Every month, we have between 20 and 50 seniors, people from 55 all the way to their 90s come here to learn about how to use cannabis to replace their current medications, or even some seniors use it recreationally."

"Yeah definitely, I think the stigma will continue to decrease and that we'll see more people willing to consider it as a possibility for themselves, to be accepting of other family members that use it, not only medically, but I think that the acceptance of people using cannabis recreationally is also going to increase as well."

"We have to be very cognizant of the fact that it can interact with certain other medications. And so, if an elderly person or really anybody is on multiple pharmaceuticals, blood thinners, seizure medications - and the list goes on - they really should have a physician looking at potential drug interaction, so that person does not end up in an emergency room with an issue. Apart from that, cannabis is extraordinarily safe for elderly people. We do have cautions about dosing and cautions about, you know, being careful in the middle of the night if you have to get up to use the restroom. Be careful you're not dizzy and so on."

LEADIN:
As legal cannabis spreads to dozens of states in the U.S., many in their 70s and 80s are now adding marijuana to their roster of activities, like golf and bingo.
Recent studies show people 65 and over are the fastest-growing segment of cannabis users.
Many who used to get high in their youth, however, are now more interested in finding a cure for old-age maladies, like arthritis and sleeplessness.
STORYLINE:
A group of senior citizens board a bus at Laguna Woods Village, an upscale retirement community in a Southern Californian suburb, a few miles from Disneyland.
They're making a quick trip to a building that, save for the green Red Cross-style sign in the window, resembles a trendy coffee bar.
The people, mostly in their 70s and 80s, will pass several hours here at the Bud and Bloom dispensary enjoying a light lunch, playing a few games of bingo and selecting their next month's supply of cannabis-infused products.
"We bus senior citizens from Laguna Woods to our dispensary. At our dispensary, we give them lunch. We provide them with an educational orientation, an opportunity to interact with the vendor companies, and then also they can enter the dispensary and take a tour, or they can also make a purchase if they want to," explains Kandice Hawes-Lopez, the Community Outreach Director for Bud and Bloom.
"We've been doing this for about eighteen months, it's been a huge success. Every month, we have between 20 and 50 seniors, people from 55 all the way to their 90s come here to learn about how to use cannabis to replace their current medications, or even some seniors use it recreationally."
Most states now have legal medical marijuana, and ten of them, including California, allow anyone 21-years-old or older to use pot recreationally.
The federal government still outlaws the drug even as acceptance increases.
The 2018 General Social Survey, an annual sampling of Americans' views, found a record 61 percent back legalization, and those 65 and older are increasingly supportive.
Many industry officials say the fastest-growing segment of their customer base is made up of aging baby boomers or even those a little older who are seeking to treat the aches and sleeplessness and other maladies of old age with the same herb that many of them once passed around at parties.
"I think the stigma will continue to decrease and that we'll see more people willing to consider it as a possibility for themselves, to be accepting of other family members that use it, not only medically, but I think that the acceptance of people using cannabis recreationally is also going to increase as well," says Hawes-Lopez.
Relatively little scientific study has verified the benefits of marijuana for specific problems.
There's evidence pot can relieve chronic pain in adults, according to a 2017 report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, but the study also concluded that the lack of scientific information poses a risk to public health.
The dispensary is filled with the 50 people from the bus as they peruse counters and coolers, containing everything from gel caps to drops to cannabis-infused drinks, not to mention plenty of old-fashioned weed.
Adele Frascella, leaning on her cane, purchases a package of gummy candies she says helps keep her arthritic pain at bay.
Fashionably dressed with sparkling silver earrings, Frascella confirms with a smile that she was a pot smoker in her younger days.
"I used to do it when I was like 18, 19, 20, and had a baby, got married and stopped doing it," she says.
"I missed it, at times, but after a while you just kind of grow out of it, then you kind of get to a certain age and you're relaxed and you have time, and everybody was doing it again."
Frascella took it up again a few years ago, even investing in a "volcano," a pricey, high-tech version of the old-fashioned bong that Gizmodo calls "the ultimate stoner gadget."
But these days, like many other seniors, she prefers edibles to smoking.
"I vape more than anything because I just... since I gave up smoking a number of years ago, I don't like, you know, it's not always smooth. It can be harsh, you know," she says.
"So, I like to I like to vape. I like edibles, a lot. And I bought some gummies today because they're good also, I find."
57-year-old Tracy Vincent started using cannabis to help her keep up her work-outs.
"I run. I like to run a lot and started having issues with my knees. And somebody suggested; 'Well, why don't you try smoking pot? It will help with your joint issues.' I didn't really believe them, but it does kind of like help me, so it's not so bad and it does keep me relaxed. And that's what I need when I run," she says.
People aged 65 years and over are the fastest-growing segment of the marijuana-using population, according to Dr. Gary Small, professor of psychiatry and aging at the University of California, Los Angeles.
He believes more studies on the drug's effects on older people are needed.
And while it may improve quality of life by relieving pain, anxiety and other problems, he warns that careless, unsupervised use can cause trouble.
"This is an important time to try to study the effects of cannabis in older people, because the older age group is the segment of our population that is showing the greatest uptick in cannabis use," says Dr. Small.
"In fact, people 50 or older showed the greatest rise in use and particularly people 65 or older.
"There's clearly not enough research on cannabis today. There are so many questions that need to be answered in terms of its efficacy in treating medical conditions as well as its safety, particularly in older adults."
"There's clearly not enough research on cannabis today. There are so many questions that need to be answered in terms of its efficacy in treating medical conditions as well as its safety, particularly in older adults."
It's a warning echoed by medical consultants, who advise that seniors in particular need to take cannabis products with caution.
Dr. Bonni Goldstein is a medical advisor for Weedmaps dispensaries.
"We have to be very cognizant of the fact that it can interact with certain other medications," she says.
"And so, if an elderly person or really anybody is on multiple pharmaceuticals, blood thinners, seizure medications - and the list goes on - they really should have a physician looking at potential drug interaction, so that person does not end up in an emergency room with an issue."
Back at Laguna Woods, 76-year-old cannabis user Laurie Linda is enjoying a joint.
"I think most people are a lot more open to it now, because they're actually learning more about it," she says.
"We never saw articles in the newspaper, except about how somebody smoked a joint and walked off a rooftop someplace."
Linda uses cannabis for recreation, but also started considering it for pain when she injured her neck several years ago.
"It makes me feel good," she says.
"It keeps me from getting really upset and angry just watching the news, sometimes makes you want to go get a gun. And I don't want to do that. And I like the way it makes me feel, it keeps me from smoking cigarettes, because I would go right back in a jiffy if I couldn't smoke something else, and I don't want to smoke tobacco. Keeps me from drinking too much, just keeps me feeling good."
"You know, people will say I'll never go to a chiropractor until they hurt their back. Your views change when your circumstances change."
Linda turns 77 next month and has no intention of giving up on cannabis anytime soon.
