It did not include the use of edibles, which I think a lot of older people prefer. Now the heart rate issue probably would still apply but we have to see reseach on that for sure.

And, as others have said, the benefits outweigh the risks for many; not to mention that cannabis use is definitely not as harmful as alcohol.
