Aging in Montclair invites the community to an informative talk on Medical Marijuana featuring Mary Clifton, MD, on Sunday, March 14. This program will take place via Zoom beginning at 4 pm. Following Dr. Clifton’s presentation, she will answer questions from audience members.

The passage in November of a constitutional amendment to legalize marijuana in New Jersey and the recent legislative approval of bills regulating the sale of cannabis in the state make this a timely topic for discussion. Seniors are the demographic whose marijuana use is increasing more than any other age group. The same baby boomers who might have experimented with recreational marijuana when they were younger are now turning to cannabis for medical relief or to treat pain or chemotherapy side effects.
