By all accounts, cannabis use among older Americans is increasing. While much of the growth has been attributed to the entry of a more tolerant baby boom cohort into older age, recent evidence suggests the pathways to cannabis are more complex. Older persons are responding variably to changing social and legal environments. They also are experiencing an increase in age-related health conditions, many of which may be amenable to medical cannabis. Still, only a few studies have focused on cannabis use among the growing population of Americans over the age of 65. In this study, we look at the demographic differences between individuals using cannabis medically and recreationally. We will be looking at 54 surveys and we will branch off the different demographics using pie charts and bar graphs; looking at race, age, current health status, labor market behavior, financial status, gender, spiritual beliefs, marital status, and living situation. This is important to know because knowing whether medical cannabis is being used more or recreational cannabis is used more will help policy makers decide whether cannabis should be taxed off for state revenue or possibly if medical cannabis should be insured by health insurance companies.
