The actual numbers

In 2005, 366 people over the age of 65 sought care at an emergency department in the state for a cannabis-related issue, while that number grew to 12,167 in 2019.

Very surprising. I wonder what the average ER fee was. I am guessing 4-6k. Probably the ins companies are upset and funded this study.

There were A LOT more folks over 65 in 2109 than there were in 2005.

You need to adjust for population when stating numbers like that.

I wonder what the definition of "cannabis-related issue" is.

Probably, [any medical issue] + [tested positive for THC].
