Millennials - Here’s How You Can Talk Cannabis to Boomers
When it comes to millennials and boomers there really has not been much of a con uence on most issues. From
economical to medical and even political views there seems to be a standard di erence between the views of both
generations. This is to be expected because the boomers believe they have time and experience on their side and so

their views are probably right. The millennials on the other hand believe that since they have more information at their
disposal along with the bene t of technology, then they are more equipped to make better decisions om matters. The
truth remains that both parties have their strengths and both need each other to be able to come to a perfect
conclusion on di erent matters.
One such matter that millennials and boomers have not seen eye to eye on is the issue of cannabis. This di erence in
view is largely due to the fact that in the early ’80s cannabis was regarded as an illegal product generally. This is also not
helped by the fact that cannabis is still not accepted generally on a federal level. Contrary to this stand is the millennials
who have seen a period of increased acceptance and legalization of cannabis in many regions and states. The gradual
decriminalization of cannabis over the years has opened many of the millennials to see the numerous bene ts that are
embedded in cannabis and this has resulted in a clash of views between both generations.
The debate on a federal level is still ongoing much as the di erences are largely spelled out between the millennials and
boomers regarding cannabis. This has made it hard for many youths to come out and be able to freely share with their
parents that they are using cannabis. This is because due to the illegal tag given to cannabis during their time, boomers
tend to attach a stereotypic view to all cannabis users making it hard for them to come to the table of accepting
cannabis as a bene cial natural product.
The future is not all bleak as a good number of boomers are gradually coming into the fray to enjoy the numerous
bene ts that cannabis has to o er. This has been helped by the legalization of cannabis in some regions and the wealth
of information about cannabis that is being made available to the populace. This has then opened the door for more
millennials to reason with some boomers on the right way to see cannabis.
Here are some of the ways that millennials can talk cannabis to boomers and hope to help them see the goodness that
is in cannabis. Read on!
Medical bene ts
When it comes to cannabis, one of the aspects that have been downplayed for too long is the medical bene ts that it
has to o er. Cannabis contains cannabinoids, terpenes, and avonoids which have numerous medical applications in
the human body. One such cannabinoid that has been a medical revelation is CBD which is why an enormous amount

of research is going into it to see how much can be gotten from this wonderful compound.
Cannabis is known to be bene cial in dealing with pain, in ammation, seizures, migraines, arthritis, and a host of other
conditions. Many boomers have not been made to see this reality hence they have downplayed the usefulness of
cannabis. Cannabis also has a huge role to play in wellness which is of prime importance to most boomers. Wellness
has to do with the health condition of the body and the mind and cannabis have a good role to play in the betterment
of both. Due to the entourage e ect of CBD and THC, cannabis helps to provide a calm and sedative e ect that ensures
a good state of the mind. This helps to deal with anxiety and depression problems that will naturally trouble the mind.
While the medical bene ts help to ensure that the body in is good health.
This makes the medical bene ts of cannabis a good way to initiate discussions about cannabis. Many boomers have one
or two conditions that cannabis can help them with in order to ensure wellness. This is why it is important that
millennials help them to see these bene ts that they can have in cannabis.
Method of Use
One prominent factor that has discouraged many boomers about cannabis is not so much the compound itself but the
conventional method of use which is through smoking. This has been a discouraging factor as most of them are not
aware of the di erent other methods of application that are available. The stereotypic view that many boomers have
carried on about a cannabis user has been a reason why some of them are not opening to accepting cannabis.
It is therefore important that millennials help boomers understand that there are other options for using cannabis as
opposed to smoking. Tinctures, edibles, and topical creams are di erent methods of use that are bound to be more
acceptable to boomers as opposed to smoking. The absence of smoke and the health risks that are usually attached to
smoking is bound to help more boomers to be more accepting of cannabis.
Professionals
The discussion on the bene ts of cannabis will go smoother with a boomer if it is done by a professional. This is why it is
advisable that they are allowed to go to a cannabis dispensary where they can meet professionals who will be able to
duly inform them of all that pertains to cannabis use.

With di erent positive experience and patience, professionals are better equipped in helping boomers come to terms
with cannabis. With adequate information tends to come quality judgment and most boomers will be sure to see the
goodness of cannabis when they are educated by professionals.
Boomers are one of the classes of the populace that can bene t largely from cannabis and with the right tutelage they
are bound to be more open to cannabis. Patience and information are all that is needed and in the near future we will
see more boomers that are not just cannabis users but cannabis lovers.
