Most people born from 1945-1965 grew up believing that marijuana was the Devil’s Lettuce. The so-called Baby Boomer generation has since seen decades of major changes around cannabis culture, law, and science. Now, they're the fastest growing demographic of new legal marijuana consumers. So how can the older generations learn about including cannabis in their lives? And how can the cannabis industry better connect with them?

Our guest this episode is Ms. Patricia Patton, also known as "The Canna Boomer." She's a community connector, a wellness and aging expert, and an author. Right now, her passion is working to bridge the gap between the Baby Boomer generation and today’s legal cannabis industry. Find Patricia's podcast "Me and Mary Jane" on Google Podcasts or iTunes.
