With rising availability of cannabis, older adults have increased interest in cannabis for a range of chronic health conditions. Studies show an increase in past-year use of cannabis by adults aged 65 years or older from less than 1.0% in 2005 to 4.2% in 2018. We estimated recent changes in current cannabis use among US adults aged 65 years or older and examined emerging sociodemographic and clinical characteristics among this population.
