In 2023, roughly 7 percent of adults 65 and older reported using the drug in the past month, according to an analysis led by researchers with the Center for Drug Use and HIV/HCV Research at New York University’s School of Global Public Health.

Personally I feel it is a "personal" choice as long as you "respect" OTHER folks.

Here in Virginia, it is legal as long as you DO not drive while under the inflience.

But cops are NO longer allowed to pull over drivers when they "smell" it.

Anyway, NEVER used it & plan NOT to.

Medicinal is okay with me as it can provide PAIN RELIEF for many.

Take care,
