Marijuana for ... older people trying to work even longer?
A new study published in the spring 2019 issue of the Journal of Policy Analysis and Management finds that the passage of medical marijuana laws seems to help reduce pain levels and increase the number of hours worked by older adults.
“Medical marijuana laws increased hours worked by those who were already working … and increased the share of older adults who were working full time versus not working or working part-time,” explains Lauren Hersch Nicholas, an assistant professor in the Bloomberg School’s Department of Health Policy and Management.
That finding may speak to many of us, as Americans plan to work longer: Indeed, more than half of people ages 35 and older say they expect to work past age 65, according to data from AARP. More than one in 10 expect to work in their 80s and beyond.
