Seniors Seek 'Goldilocks' Cannabis for Pain, Sleep, and Mood

A Colorado study of 169 adults aged 60+ found that older first-time cannabis users mainly seek relief from pain, sleep problems, and mental health concerns to improve quality of life, not to get high. They often rely on word-of-mouth rather than healthcare providers, and many favor CBD–THC combination edibles—the so-called 'Goldilocks option'—as a balanced approach. The findings point to a need for better patient–provider information and clinical tools to guide safe, effective use, especially as legal and regulatory contexts vary by state.

UK prostate cancer patients denied life-preserving focal therapy

Thousands of UK men with prostate cancer are reportedly being denied focal therapy, a non-invasive treatment that preserves quality of life by reducing side effects like erectile dysfunction and incontinence; despite three principal forms (HIFU, cryotherapy, NanoKnife) being available, the NHS offers access at only a few centres and doctors say patients aren’t routinely informed about this option, prompting calls for broader access amid supportive trial data and NICE approvals.
