Senior citizens are the fastest growing demographic of marijuana users in the country, and they’re finding more ways to use it than ever before.
For a look at the relationship some seniors have with the drug, VICE visited a Seattle nursing home that takes its residents on field trips to a local dispensary—sitting in on their lesson about cannabis, checking out what products they buy, and lighting up with an elderly woman who gets high to ease her chronic illness.

As a stoner my self and only 24 years young this may be the only thing close to world peace weed
This should be made legal and available everywhere, work hard and get high, pain relief, freedom from spasms and worry
Hell of a lot better than cigarettes
Part 2 follow up pls when its safe <3
I’ve been prescribed most painkillers and none worked. I’ve finally found something that works.
I’d enjoy getting gigh with old people
Im glad that these people who were brainwashed by the government whole lives now have access to the truth and can be eduacted on it
The short grandma with glasses (Darlene Johnson) is so adorable. The way she speaks, move, etc.
to the young girl who rolled to joint, she better have slid that lady $10 or so or at least helped pay for it. like my mom says " I'll be damned if you get high of me for free"
And now I wear shoes!
Cannabis infused lubricant god damn
Lovely person, hope she's doing well.
How can this not be legal for old people around the world it can’t treat pains and make them tell better help them eat and stuff
who else gonna 420 blunts when they turn 69
Feed them black tar heroin
My great grandmother uas Parkinson ive been trying to convince her to go one day without having to shake, she believes she'll sweat a pill out and smell. I gave it up trying. But I'm sure one day before she passes, she's gotta wanna feel young again somehow.
Reporter: "im a big fan of smoking weed" cringe.
lol old people are so fun she ain’t even trip when the lady offer to smoke her weed
"When I first moved in here they played Bingo and they played stupid games like that…I mean they're fun, I'm not knocking it…but you know…I like to use my brain." <– what a roast!
The old people are the fastest growing demographic cuz the young people already smoke lmao
I wish weed was finally legal in Georgia, I’d love to go get high with a bunch of local seniors!!
skinnny ass joint i woulda rolled a backwood lmaoo
The young are cool, the old are cool! It's the boomers .. always the boomers!
Old people are great
I wish every elderly person was like the woman at the start. Most I come across are just flat out ignorant or stuck in the past. Sad.
Imagine seeing a bunch of old people going into a pot shop
Bruh. I so wanna get stoned with an old person. Seems more insightful than hallucinogenics.
I take great comfort in this video. Humanity at its best
Once I saw this I was like you know what getting old doesnt seem much like that bad of a thing anymore
smoking since 1989 and smoking right now
When I retire in 17 months you bet I will . Illegal here in Indiana but my neighbor sells it and Illinois is 20 miles . My doctor told me , " I know you cant now but when you retire you should use marijuana , you could get off most the meds you take . " I told her , " Well you're the doctor " lol
My dream is to teach an old person every single thing about how to save your weed clean your pieces roll a joint literally just wanna convert some old personinto a stoner
Forget Florida or the eastern-southern coast! I'm retiring to a state where weed is legal!
I love the first grandma!!
Lol I've smoked weed with like half my family (majority of my family cuz a large part of my family is kids)
The best person I've ever smoked with is my grandpa lol
Brilliant ❤the whole innocence about it they're happy free
Im afraid to go to afghanistan because i smoke so i will get stoned… to death
