As we age, our bodies carry the stories of our lives—long walks turned into stiff knees, decades of gardening felt in the joints, or the quiet, daily discomfort that creeps in from old injuries. For many older adults, chronic pain—especially from conditions like arthritis—can feel like an unavoidable part of life. But it doesn’t have to be.
At Monko, we believe in honoring the aging experience with dignity, compassion, and science-backed solutions. That’s why we’re proud to offer medical cannabis options specifically tailored to senior patients aged 65 and older—with a focus on low-dose, non-intoxicating products that help ease pain while keeping you in control.
Relief Without the High
You don’t need to “get high” to feel better. In fact, many of our senior patients prefer CBD-rich and balanced THC:CBD formulations that deliver therapeutic benefits without impairing function or clarity. From topicals for arthritis to low-dose capsules, tinctures, and gummies, we offer gentle yet effective options designed to fit seamlessly into your wellness routine.
A Safer Alternative
Prescription painkillers, especially opioids, have long been the go-to solution for chronic pain—but at great cost. Side effects, dependency, and diminished quality of life have led many to search for safer alternatives.
💡 Did you know?
Seniors who adopt medical cannabis report a 65% reduction in opioid use, according to a study published in The Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.
Cannabis can provide targeted relief without the risks of long-term pharmaceutical use—and it does so under the care of medical professionals, with products that are tested, regulated, and easy to dose.
Real Stories from Our Community
“I was skeptical at first, but the pain in my hands from arthritis made even the simplest tasks feel impossible. My doctor recommended a CBD salve—and I haven’t looked back. It’s discreet, effective, and I don’t feel foggy like I used to on other medications.”
— Marie, 74
“The staff at Monko took the time to explain everything to me. I started with a low-dose capsule at night for my back pain and now I sleep better, move easier, and even golf again.”
— Robert, 69
