00:00all right marijuana use is on the rise among older americans
00:09one in 20 say they've used pot within the previous month about five percent of men and women age 55
00:18and older say they've used marijuana or hashish in the previous month which is the highest it's
00:25ever been so easy to get now well yeah everywhere yeah use was twice as high among older men
00:32with about 6.7 percent reporting cannabis use compared to 3.5 percent of women
00:40old people are getting stoned i feel like old people too are using it
00:45even if it's not necessarily through a doctor they're using it for pain they're using it for
00:53you know i know a bunch of different old people that you know have been going through pain or
01:01through like a cancer thing and someone is like hey let me get you this thing you know and they try
01:08and they're like wow it changes their cannabinoids can really really help people right like seizure
01:14like people that have seizures and stuff yeah yeah my mom tried it yeah does she still do it or no
01:20yeah she didn't really she didn't find that it worked i don't know if she gave it enough chance
01:24to tell you the truth yeah right but um i talked to someone over the weekend they're not older but
01:29they're younger but they're like yeah i smoked it again but smoked in a while and i felt every pain
01:34on my body i'm like it's not supposed to make you feel every pain in your body that was so funny
01:39the opposite right she's like oh this hurts oh that hurts like wow i'm like that didn't react very
01:46well with no did she smoke the right stuff i don't know what she did that's too crazy to go
01:51to try to get high and just be like oh yeah oh god it hurts i did not like what it is on the movie
01:59oh god right because i'd be expecting like i'm gonna feel totally relaxed right right the munchies
02:07i'll be super chill dave and i'm like ah my knee oh my calves why did it work out oh this tennis elbow
02:16why did it work out my earache my ears are aching yeah oh does your hair hurt my hair hurt jaw pain
02:25oh my fingers hurt my back everything hurts oh this is the worst forearm tightness
02:36oh god i'm so high that's opposite that's opposite of what should have happened
02:44he's nuts i'm gonna look it up and weed the only the only thing is that maybe it could cause some
02:53kind of sensitivity to touch i would i don't even know i don't know i don't even know wasn't her
02:59first time smoking it either no well okay oh high doses of thc can actually make consumers more
03:07sensitive to pain i might have smoked a bit too much i got back into it a bit too fast
03:15too much too quick ouch i am in a lot of pain
03:19you okay man no i did way too much my back my legs my hips my neck
03:28i'm starting to feel it man can you feel all your pains
03:33yeah there you go there you go now you know you're high are your eyeballs hurting they look
03:41like you're squid i don't want to blink because it hurts so bad i gotta try and keep them half open
03:47yeah they gave in a in a test study they gave people low thc moderate thc and high thc i think
03:56you're figuring something out at least and everyone that had high thc saw a big increase in pain
04:01sensitivity that's weird so yeah like if someone is you know they just worked out really hard and
04:09you know like the day after you work out really hard is when you feel it the most really and so
04:14then if you hit some super high levels of thc uh you could be in for it i guess some people never
04:22heard that before today though i didn't first i never had heard it none of us even some uh i laughed
04:27alleged so hard weed users here have no idea it could increase your pain level i heard that it
04:32could make your pain tolerance like down the line you know be increased or decreased but really
04:38it'd make you feel pain more that's interesting this issue i mean more thc the better yeah yeah and
04:45it doesn't like because you've had some ailments it didn't make anything no like i mean i started
04:50i got into medical marijuana because i got back problems i have three bulging discs and i don't
