Abstract

Cannabis consumption among aging adults in Canada is increasing. The aims of the study were to examine cannabis consumption patterns before and after non-medical cannabis legalization and assess whether these patterns differ between men and women. Data were analyzed from Canadian respondents in a repeat cross-sectional survey conducted in 2018-2021. Analyses were conducted among adults aged 55-65 (n = 18,177) who had consumed cannabis in the past 12-month (n = 4119). Past 12-month cannabis consumption significantly increased among 55-65-year-olds from 2018 (19.3%) to the first-year post-legalization in 2019 (24.5%; p < .001), but remained stable thereafter (24.3%, and 25.6% in 2020 and 2021). More men reported past 12-month consumption than women (28.4% vs. 21.4%; p < .001). A substantial number of cannabis consumers consumed to manage a physical or mental health condition. Targeted messaging might be beneficial for this age group, including possible interactions with other medications. This research may be helpful for informing age-adapted cannabis education.

2018年至2021年加拿大55-65岁成年人的大麻消费量

加拿大老年人对大麻的消费量正在增加。该研究的目的是检查非医用大麻合法化前后的大麻消费模式，并评估这些模式在男性和女性之间是否存在差异。在2018-2021年进行的一项重复横断面调查中，对加拿大受访者的数据进行了分析。对55-65岁（n=18177）在过去12个月内吸食过大麻的成年人（n=4119）进行了分析。从2018年（19.3%）到2019年合法化后的第一年（24.5%；p<.001），55-65岁人群过去12个月的大麻消费量显著增加，但此后保持稳定（24.3%，2020年和2021年分别为25.6%）。报告过去12个月吸食大麻的男性比女性多（28.4%对21.4%；p<.001）。大量大麻消费者吸食大麻是为了控制身体或心理健康状况。有针对性的信息可能对这个年龄段的人有益，包括可能与其他药物的相互作用。这项研究可能有助于为适应年龄的大麻教育提供信息。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
