Quick Correction: In my podcast video, I mentioned that 'out of 18% of seniors who have tried cannabis, 89 have experienced some relief.' I meant to say 89% of seniors reported experiencing relief.
For over a decade, I’ve worked in the cannabis industry, and let me tell you, I’ve seen it all—from running weed bars at glamorous celebrity events to hearing the stories that truly matter. My favorite moments? When grandparents and parents at these events quietly pull me aside to share their cannabis journeys. They always whisper, as if it's a secret miracle. And in many ways, for them, it is.
Cannabis for Seniors: It’s About Quality of Life
Did you know that 18% of seniors in the United States (those over 65) have tried some form of cannabis? Out of those, a staggering 89% report feeling relief from symptoms. That’s what we’re really talking about here—relief, comfort, and quality of life.
I created this podcast because I believe seniors deserve more conversations around autonomy, dignity, mobility, and living life to the fullest—without the stigma. It’s not about “getting high”; it’s about getting well.
In fact, I’d love for you to hear directly from the seniors themselves. Here’s one heartwarming message I received:
"Hey Catherine, wow! I actually have no pain. I am totally shocked. Thank you!"
And here’s another testimonial:
"Thank you, Catherine. You are pretty much saving Jim’s life and my sanity."
These stories are what keep me going, and I want to share more of them with you.
