Imagine being in constant pain, unable to sleep, and overwhelmed by stress. You finally turn to your doctor for help, only to be met with blank stares or vague suggestions. This is the harsh reality for many older adults exploring cannabis as a potential solution. Without the right training or resources, even well-meaning physicians are often unprepared to guide their patients. The result? Seniors are left to navigate this complex terrain alone, often turning to dispensaries staffed by charismatic individuals who know their products but not the unique medical needs of their customers.
This disconnect is more than frustrating—it’s a public health crisis. Seniors deserve compassionate, informed care tailored to their individual circumstances, yet the system is failing them at every turn. Doctors, dispensaries, and caregivers must come together to close this dangerous gap. The potential for cannabis to alleviate suffering is immense, but without proper support, its benefits remain out of reach for those who need it most. This video explores how we got here, and more importantly, what we can do to change course.
