In partnership with Interior Health research pharmacist Dr. Jennifer Bolt, we are inviting people aged 50+ living in Canada to participate in an online survey on cannabis use and perspectives in older adults. The feedback from this survey will inform our future research and community outreach programs towards our overarching goal of ensuring safe use and removing the negative stigma around cannabis and its use.

We are currently analyzing data and writing up the results of this research, stay tuned to learn what we’ve found. Some preliminary results were presented in March for Embrace Aging Month. Listen to the audio recording on YouTube.
