There’s a cannabis product for everyone, at every age and stage of life. Whether you’re in your 20s or your 60s, there are benefits to be found in every decade.
The Greek philosopher Heraclitus is reported to have written, “The only constant in life is change.” And if you think about it, that’s true. Nothing ever really stays the same. You adapt and adjust in every season of your life.
This philosophy should apply to your cannabis use, too. That go-to product you loved five years ago might not be the best option for you and your preferred cannabis outcomes now.
If you’re new to cannabis altogether, we’re talking to you, too. We know it can be confusing to know what will work best for you at this age and stage of your life.
So, whether you’re a cannabis connoisseur or a weed newbie, read on for some considerations for every decade, to help you figure out the benefits of cannabis at every age.
In your 50s and 60s…
Experts often say that the secret to longevity is to keep moving. But that can be a challenge if you are experiencing chronic pain. A topical aimed at your specific issue, whether it’s wear and tear, arthritis, etc., can help keep you on your feet.
Try: A balanced topical of CBD and THC. (CBD is good for inflammation and THC will help with pain.)
In your 40s…
Ask anyone over 40 when they started to feel their age and they’ll probably say right around their 40th birthday. Daily CBD can help to keep aches and pains at bay (especially if you’re also getting regular exercise, eating a healthy, balanced diet, etc.).
Try: A daily CBD capsule twice a day to help alleviate daily aches and pains. (Start low and increase the dosage until you reach the desired effect.)
In your 30s…
It can be argued that your 30s are among the most chaotic and exhausting years of your life. You’re building a career, raising a family, potentially caring for older family members…it’s a lot. Cannabis can be useful for relaxation, reduction of stress and anxiety, better sleep and more.
Try: A balanced pre-roll that’s 1:1 THC to CBD to help take the edge off but still let you get stuff done.
In your 20s…
There’s a lot of pressure in your 20s to find your path and start building an adult life, and that can mean a lot of sleepless nights. Cannabis can be useful in the treatment of stress and anxiety and to promote better sleep. NOTE: Heavy recreational cannabis use should be avoided in your teens and early 20s, given that the brain isn’t fully developed until after age 25.
Try: A CBN-dominant edible that can help you to catch more adequate zzz’s.
