Don't discount grandma's love for weed. Legalization has introduced many new faces to cannabis and people of all ages, even your boomer parents (and their parents), are suddenly open to the occasional doobie at family dinner or edible before bed.
Smoking with your grandma!
University of California San Diego School of Medicine researchers have reported on the elderly using cannabis to help with common medical conditions varying from helping with sleep (insomnia) to aiding with pain, anxiety and depression. 61% of patients had initiated using it after the age of 60. For medical use, encourage Grandma to seek advice from a healthcare practitioner and double check that there's no risk of interacting with any prescription medications,
Otherwise, go wild! Or go mild! Sampling cannabis products with your family is a great way to help them navigate the world of weed post-legalization. Plus there's so many smoke-free innovations, and even non-intoxicating cannabinoids to discover.
There a plenty of approachable ways to consume THC or CBD without having to bust up a nug of weed and smoke it through a bong or joint. But obviously do whatever Grandma is comfortable with! Pipes and joints might be all familiar to her, we don’t know or judge!
There are low profile cartridges such as Madge and Mercer Modern Apothecary - MM 007 Le Pasion. Made in sleek designs always this is a 2:1 CBD to THC formulation. This women’s wellness brand wants to welcome vaping as a form of self-care which every special lady like your granny needs!
But also great pre rolls like Reef Organic - Queen SanG. Which has terpenes of limonene and caryophyllene.
You could be the one to help introduce or refamiliarize her with something that can help spark some joy in both your lives. Enjoy munchies, and maybe take a walk down memory lane sharing some stories. You might learn a wild thing or two about grandma that you did not know!
