Abstract in brief
The use of cannabis among older adults in the U.S. is growing, leading to increased emergency department (ED) visits that may indicate negative effects from its use.
A study analyzing data from California (2005-2019) revealed a significant rise in cannabis-related ED visits for adults aged 65 and older, increasing from 20.7 to 395.0 visits per 100,000 (an 1804% increase).
The findings highlight the need for healthcare providers to inquire about and educate older adults on cannabis use as part of their routine medical care.
