WHY IT MATTERS: Seniors using CBD products need to know that without third-party lab verification and a conversation with a knowledgeable clinician, they may be exposing themselves to inconsistent doses, contaminants, or unrecognized interactions with their existing medications. CLINICAL OVERVIEW: CBD use among older adults is growing rapidly, driven by interest in managing chronic pain, sleep disturbances, anxiety, and inflammation without the intoxicating effects associated with THC. The endocannabinoid system, which modulates these physiological processes, undergoes changes with aging, and there is emerging evidence that cannabinoid-based interventions may help restore some of that regulatory balance.
