Comparing older nonmedical and medical cannabis users: health-related characteristics, cannabis use patterns, and cannabis sources

Some medical users are likely to self-treat without healthcare professional consultation. Healthcare professionals should engage older adults in discussions of cannabis use and behavioral health needs.PMID:33915068 | DOI:10.1080/00952990.2021.1908318
