HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – More people using medical marijuana among people age 50 and older is raising questions about the potential need for routine screenings in the population.
Data shows that cannabis use has more than doubled in the past decade among Americans over 50, suggesting that many may be self-medicating for age related issues such as chronic pain and depression.
“Well, as we know, with age comes more health problems, more medication, more doctors’ visits, so if there’s a lack of communication between patient and physician that they’re using medical marijuana, and between what they’re taking and the medical marijuana, it can increase the risk of fall and confusion and expose them to a lot of trouble,” said psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Bober.
