From the data in your link, we can't conclude that smoking among the elderly has risen at all - it could be all edibles.

BTW - I get why my first post was confusing, it’s because I said “younger”.
I was referencing particular articles posted here which called middle aged people “young” victims of the Wuhan virus.

The link in the article is subscription only. The stat I could find breaking out particular usage says 3% of those 65 and over self report smoking cannabis. Another study says the trend is reversing in age ranges with those in the youngest demographic decreasing usage and those in the older demographic increasing usage (this report didn’t break out method of usage).

So yes, you could be right, maybe old people are eating cannabis instead of smoking it. The doctor in the link I posted said that previous cannabis smokers were more likely to be current senior users. (he didn’t break out method in his quote)
