"Investigators affiliated with the University of Iowa’s College of Public Health assessed data from a nationally representative sample of Americans over the age of 50. They estimated that 17 percent of those between the ages of 50 and 64 had used cannabis in the past year, as had 4 percent of those age 65 and older.

About eight percent of middle-aged consumers had
no prior lifetime history of cannabis use. Most respondents said that their attitudes toward cannabis had become more favorable as they grew older."
