About this guide

CCSA developed the three-page Guide to Cannabis for Older Adults in partnership with the Canadian Coalition for Senior’s Mental Health. It outlines what cannabis is and how it is used, as well as the health risks and potential benefits of cannabis use. It is intended to support adults aged 65 and over in making informed choices about using cannabis.
