The number of seniors using cannabis is trending upward. According to the most recently published National Survey of Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) data, an estimated 6% of U.S. adults 65 or older — that’s more than 3.3 million people — reported using cannabis over the prior year.

While the NSDUH cautions against making year-over-year comparisons using this survey data (because it covers a period in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic), a comparison to a decade earlier shows that’s up from just .5% in 2002 — significantly more of the graying population is turning to the green.

In an effort to put some faces behind those statistics, the “Green Room” decided to ride along with the Senior Shuttle — a monthly field trip that ferries older folks (at no charge) from Laguna Woods Village retirement community in Orange County to the Farmacy dispensary in Santa Ana where they’re treated to a free lunch, cannabis education seminars and brand presentations and a healthy discount at checkout.
