    As more states legalize marijuana for medical or recreational use, the cannabis industry is booming. Among the fastest growing group of users: people over 50, with especially steep increases among those 65 and older.https://n.pr/2xg0LN4

        It should be decriminalized on the federal level. They're restricting pain meds for the elderly and many states still don't have this option. My mom has degenerate disk disease, they have her on Tylenol since the opiate crack down. She's 71 but won't sub until it's "legal".

        hemp use should also be expanding. we can replace all personal containers like water bottles etc with hemp based rather than petroleum based plastics in short order and save the planet. Clothing made from hemp would also be far less damaging to the atmosphere when decomposing.

        I’ve been on MMJ for three years , it helps with Multiple Sclerosis spasticity and insomnia. It’s the safest most effective medicine I’ve ever had. And without devastating side effects!

        Because it’s medically amazing for those who suffer from joint pain. Much better than prescription opioids.

        Best thing I ever did was start taking CBD infused gummies at night. I sleep well & wake up with no grogginess. 👍🏻

        Can you please resist the urge to use terrible clichéd puns in stories like this? It takes away from the legitimacy of the subject. #eyeroll
