A recent study of 1,000 seniors ages 54 and up found that 9% of seniors have tried CBD health-related reasons and 51% of those that have tried it reported having an improved quality of life afterward. Over 65% of the seniors surveyed that tried CBD said that their quality of life was good, while only 31.1% said the same before trying CBD.

As for how those seniors are taking that CBD, many prefer drops. A whopping 54.4% of the seniors surveyed that had tried CBD did so by putting CBD drops directly in their mouth. 21.1% of the serious opted to put those drops in a beverage instead, and another 21.1% got their CBD through CBD-infused edible.

Just 15.6% took CBD capsules, a fact which I personally found surprising. I would think a capsule would be preferable to drops, but the number are skewed dramatically the other direction. Just 10% of the surveyed seniors vaped or smoked their CBD. As you might imagine, with older age comes a number of health problems, which is primarily what seniors were looking for relief from with regular CBD use.

42% of the seniors surveyed said they were taking the CBD to deal with inflammation, and 40.9% to deal with chronic pain. 38.6% said they were giving CBD a try in order to deal with poor sleep quality, and 31.8% used CBD to deal with arthritis pain. And it's working.
