Using cannabis for several months is associated with a reduction in blood pressure among older adults with hypertension, according to a prospective study published last week. The researchers took readings on 26 patients over the age of 60 both before and three months after starting to use medical cannabis, and found that the participants’ overall blood pressure — both systolic and diastolic — went slightly down after three months of cannabis treatment.

For many years, people thought of cannabis as a gateway drug. However, as many states start seeing a reduction in opioid overdose deaths once medical or recreational cannabis is legalized, this view is being challenged. Science has started to see cannabis as an exit drug instead, and some have started to integrate cannabis and cannabidiol (CBD) into their drug treatment programs.

The U.S. cannabis industry is still in its infancy, even though states began engaging with legalization in one form or another in the late 1990s. Today, many opportunities exist for individuals and businesses that want to engage in the industry. Some want to directly own licensed businesses, while others prefer to keep the industry at an arm’s length and merely profit from it.
