The Buzz With Marijuana
Marijuana use by seniors goes up! The latest buzz on pot smokers is that the use of marijuana is growing among seniors. The number of seniors reporting smoking marijuana use in the past year has elevated from 1.9 percent to 2.9 percent. These results were determined by the Substance Abuse Administration. Observers expect a bigger increase, due to the 70 million baby boomers that were born after 1945, and before 1963.
For many of the tokers, they didnt start smoking pot untill they hit their 50s. They were not interested in smoking it in their early years. Most decided to pick up the habit to mask some kind of pain from a sort of health issue. Many that are suffering from arthritis. The latest Buzz is that the number of senior users could effect the outcome of making pot legal in America. For the longest time our political leaders were quite older, and considered marijuana a dangerous substance. Now things have changed, a lot of those political opponents are on board with the legalizing of marijuana. They must have grew to believe that marijuana is not as dangerous as they once believed.
Marijuana is being praised for relieving many problems of aging, like eyes problems muscle and joint aches, and a few others. The US currently has 14 states aboard and enjoying the fairly new medical laws of this baby boomer drug. There are some dangers to consider for seniors using this drug. Marijuana increases the risk of heart disease. An older, weaker person could fall and get hurt if they get dizzy from smoking a joint! When you think of people that are older, you usually dont think that they may be an illicit drug user. Looks can be deceiving, it is not just the youngins’ that are drug users. Someones grandparents are doing it too!
