Across all age groups in Great Britain the majority of respondents to a survey would consider to some extent using cannabis-based medical products if there was strong evidence it would be an effective treatment for their health condition. Although, it is the older age groups who would be slightly more open to using medical cannabis for their health conditions, with 48 percent of those aged over 65 years saying they would definitely consider using these products and 30 percent saying they would probably consider it.
