了解科罗拉多州社区老年人使用大麻的模式。匿名调查。两个学术老年初级保健诊所。说英语的人。我们评估了自我报告的大麻使用特征和模式，以及对目标症状的影响。调查分析的重点是目前的使用者，定义为在过去3年中使用过大麻的个人。345人完成了调查(回复率为55%)；113人(32%)过去吸食过大麻，其中55人(16%)在大麻合法化后吸食。超过一半的当前用户年龄在75岁及以上，四分之一的用户年龄在85岁及以上。目前的用户大多是白人女性。在目前的吸毒者中，44%的人至少每周使用大麻产品来治疗包括慢性疼痛、抑郁、焦虑和失眠在内的常见疾病，大多数人认为大麻对这些疾病有帮助。大多数受访者报告说，他们在没有处方的情况下娱乐地获得了大麻(67%)。9名受访者报告了可归因于大麻使用的负面副作用。据我们所知，这是第一项关于老年人在医疗和娱乐用途合法的情况下使用大麻的研究。大麻被用于几种常见的老年病，受访者报告的副作用很少。调查受访者人数较少，在大麻销售非法的州缺乏普遍性，以及参与偏见是主要的研究限制。需要进一步的研究，以更好地了解对这一人群的有益或有害影响。
To understand patterns of marijuana use in community-dwelling older adults in Colorado. Anonymous survey. Two academic geriatric primary care clinics. English-speaking individuals. We assessed self-reported characteristics and patterns of marijuana use and effect on targeted symptoms. Survey analysis focused on current users, defined as individuals who had used marijuana in the past 3 years. Three hundred forty-five individuals completed the survey (55% response rate); 113 (32%) had used marijuana in the past, of whom 55 (16%) had used since legalization. More than half of current users were aged 75 and older, and one-quarter were aged 85 and older. Most current users were white women. Of current users, 44% used marijuana products at least weekly for common conditions including chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and insomnia, and most found marijuana helpful for these conditions. Most respondents reported obtaining marijuana recreationally (67%) without a prescription. Nine respondents reported negative side effects attributable to marijuana use. To our knowledge, this is the first study to characterize marijuana use of older adults in a state in which it is legal for medical and recreational use. Marijuana was used for several common geriatric conditions, and respondents reported few side effects. The small number of survey respondents, the lack of generalizability in states where marijuana sales are illegal, and participation bias were the main study limitations. Further research is needed to better understand useful or harmful effects in this population.
