Cannabis brownies tested on seniors in tiny study
NCT ID NCT06055309
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study looked at how cannabis affects mood, thinking, balance, and vital signs in older adults. Three participants who had used marijuana before without problems ate cannabis-infused brownies. Researchers measured blood pressure, balance, and cognitive function. Because it is very small, the results are just a first step and cannot be used to make broad conclusions.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide initial data on how cannabis affects older adults, guiding future research on safety and effects in this age group.

- This is a very small pilot study with only 3 participants, so results may not apply to the general older adult population. It is early-stage and exploratory.
