Getting old is easy, but living well as you age is challenging. Certain health issues tend to go hand-in-hand with aging. Pain, depression, and sleep problems are fairly common. The good news is that you don’t necessarily have to resign yourself to simply live with those issues. Using medical marijuana is one potential solution.

How Older Adults Use Marijuana

There are multiple ways to use medical marijuana. Some people find they prefer the immediate relief that comes from smoking or vaping the cannabis flower. Others prefer the more controlled application that cannabis and CBD topicals offer. Those with chronic health concerns may find that edibles and under-the-tongue tinctures extend the benefits. 

Cannabis tea or THC-infused drinks are other options, but those are best left alone until you know your ideal dose of THC and are confident in your ability to portion it correctly. Otherwise, you could easily end up overconsuming

Dear Cheri,

Does cannabis use affect dreams?  After a long absence, I started regularly using cannabis again about 8 months ago.  Generally speaking, I feel great but one thing I have noticed is that, even though I have been sleeping great, I hardly have any dreams anymore, and I used to have lots of vivid dreams. Could my cannabis use be the reason? 

You are not dreaming about not dreaming.  Diminished or even nonexistent dreams are a real side effect of cannabis use.  At least not dreams you remember having.  

The heavier your use, the less likely you will recall dreaming.

We go through 4 stages when going to sleep, a light sleep, followed by a deeper sleep, a very deep sleep, and then REM sleep.  REM stands for rapid eye movement and this is the stage of sleep where dreams occur.  Most people spend roughly 2 hours, give or

One of the major objections to the medicinal use of marijuana is the use of smoking as a delivery system. Based on the fact that smoking tobacco causes deterioration of lung function, these detractors intone that smoking marijuana is just as harmful. So let’s examine the truth about the effects of smoking marijuana and lung health.

Testing that hypothesis is really quite simple—even you can do it. Head over to any hospital and go to the respiratory wing. Locate a nurse and ask how many patients are in the respiratory wing due to their use of tobacco. You will learn that most of the patients in that wing are there for that reason.

Now ask how many patients are there because they only smoked marijuana. Don’t be surprised when the nurse tells you that there is not one patient in a respiratory bed fitting that description. They might even elaborate

Cannabis and Keto, Keto and cannabis.  Health, fitness, and cannabis enthusiasts are all singing the praises of combining cannabis and the keto diet.

Can you smoke weed while on keto?

Of course the answer is yes.  Inhaling weed is not going to change anything as far as your carb counts and staying on your diet.  

However, when it comes to cannabis and the keto diet, many people claim they actually enhance each other’s health benefits.

Is there anything to these claims?  Can using cannabis on a keto diet enhance the effects of either or both? Does eating a keto diet alter the effects of cannabis?  What are the effects of cannabis on a keto diet?

These are all common questions.  Sadly, like many issues surrounding cannabis, there is little in the way of actual scientific research at this point. 

But from what little we do have, combined with what we

A viewer asks “do edibles work for pain management?”

When you ask such a question, the quick answer is: it depends. 

You didn’t give me quite enough information.  What kind of pain? How severe?  What is your cannabis tolerance like?  A lot of factors have to be taken into account.

That said, I definitely think using cannabis edibles for pain management is something most people should try as cannabis does not have the serious side effects that come with prescription or even over-the-counter pain medicines.  To learn how to works and why cannabis is so safe for pain management, check out this post.

You cannot fatally overdose on cannabis.  It is not going to damage or shut down your organs or stop you from breathing.  Cannabis simply does not work that way in the body.
