Agree, wholeheartedly, Luke. Thankfully, weed is legal here in California. I don’t smoke it (though I do have a vape, provided by the dispensary). I prefer micro-dosing with edibles, because I can still function yet it takes the edge off my pain (migraines) and anxiety.

True story: my 82-year-old father has recently started on edibles for anxiety and insomnia after his physician unmercifully cut him off his anti-anxiety med. The alternative? To put him on an anti-depressant (he’s not depressed!), because it’s indicated for anxiety.

At the dispensary, the weed consultant told me that the majority of people they sell to are older folks who are in the same boat — needing anti-anxiety and pain help.

Cannabis is extremely helpful in micro-doses. There’s plenty of evidence to back this up.
