在美国，各种人群对大麻的使用正在增加，但关于老年人如何以及为何使用大麻的调查却很少。匿名调查。老年病科诊所。五百六十八名 65 岁及以上的成年人。不适用。评估大麻使用特征的调查。大约 15% (N=83) 的调查受访者报告在过去 3 年内使用过大麻。一半 (53%) 报告每天或每周定期使用大麻，并报告仅使用大麻二酚 (CBD) 产品 (46%)。大多数人（78%）仅将大麻用于医疗目的，最常见的目标病症/症状是疼痛/关节炎（73%）、睡眠障碍（29%）、焦虑（24%）和抑郁（17%）。超过四分之三的人表示大麻“在一定程度上”或“极其”有助于控制其中一种疾病，而且几乎没有副作用。超过一半的人通过药房获得大麻，洗剂（35%）、酊剂（35%）和吸烟（30%）是最常见的给药形式。大多数表示家庭成员 (94%) 知道他们使用大麻，大约一半的人表示他们的朋友知道，41% 的人表示他们的医疗保健提供者知道。 61% 的人在老年人（60 岁及以上）时第一次使用大麻，这些使用者总体上采用风险较低的使用模式（例如，更有可能用于医疗目的，不太可能通过吸烟等方式消费）。样本中的大多数老年人在 60 岁后开始使用大麻，主要将其用于医疗目的，以治疗疼痛、睡眠障碍、焦虑和/或抑郁。由于医疗需求、有利的合法化和态度，老年人吸食大麻的情况可能会增加。
Use of cannabis is increasing in a variety of populations in the U.S., however few investigations about how and for what reasons cannabis is used in older populations exist. Anonymous survey. Geriatrics clinic. Five hundred sixty-eight adults 65 years and older. N/A. Survey assessing characteristics of cannabis use. Approximately 15% (N=83) of survey responders reported using cannabis within the past 3-years. Half (53%) reported using cannabis regularly on a daily or weekly basis, and reported using cannabidiol (CBD)-only products (46%). The majority (78%) used cannabis for medical purposes only with the most common targeted conditions/symptoms being pain/arthritis (73%), sleep disturbance (29%), anxiety (24%) and depression (17%). Just over three-quarters reported cannabis “somewhat” or “extremely” helpful in managing one of these conditions, with few side-effects. Just over half obtained cannabis via a dispensary, and lotions (35%), tinctures (35%), and smoking (30%) were the most common administration forms. Most indicated family members (94%) knew about their cannabis use, about half reported their friends knew, and 41% reported their healthcare provider knowing. Sixty-one percent used cannabis for the first time as older adults (aged 60 years and older), and these users overall engaged in less risky use patterns (e.g., more likely to use for medical purposes, less likely to consume via smoking, etc.). Most older adults in the sample initiated cannabis use after age 60 and used it primarily for medical purposes to treat pain, sleep disturbance, anxiety and/or depression. Cannabis use by older adults is likely to increase due to medical need, favorable legalization and attitudes.
