Embracing a New Era: How Recent Research Confirms the Power of Cannabis for Seniors
With seniors turning to cannabis and migraines on the rise, Dr. Beverly Potter’s guide couldn’t be more timely.
In the evolving landscape of therapeutic cannabis, two fresh studies are making waves—and they speak directly to the message of Cannabis for Seniors by Dr. Beverly A. Potter.
1. Seniors Embrace Cannabis in Growing Numbers
A study from NYU, published on ScienceDaily, reports a striking 46% increase in past-month cannabis use among adults aged 65+, with usage now at 7% in 2023—a substantial leap from just 4.8% in 2021. Notably, educated women with chronic conditions are leading this shift—precisely the audience Dr. Potter addresses. This surge suggests older adults are actively seeking alternatives to pharmaceuticals, resonating with the book’s mission to guide them safely in this journey # 1.
2. A Landmark Breakthrough: Migraines and Cannabis
Another recent study, presented at the American Headache Society in 2025, reveals that a specific combined dose of THC and CBD provided significant relief for migraine sufferers. Nearly 67% reported reduced pain within two hours, and 34.5% achieved full relief, sustainability lasting up to 48 hours # 2. This is the first double-blind evidence supporting cannabis's effectiveness in migraine treatment—making Cannabis for Seniors ever more relevant for seniors managing chronic pain.
