This education is going to have to happen over time. Old folks are set in their ways and and the war on drugs has been going on all their lives(with all the mis-information that came with it). I had to start with talking about hemp and how good it is for the planet. Once you have something made of hemp( a hat or shirt or purse) and you show them a concrete item made from it. Then you can introduce topics like the oil from the seeds being good for food and fuel and show them a lotion or get some hemp ice cream. Once they are used to the idea that this one plant can do all these things you then talk about the medicinal uses.
They maybe resistant to hearing you from that point on but if they talk about their aches and pains , tell them that this takes the pain away SAFELY. If they have glaucoma, talk about how it helps there. If they have Cancer of any sort I would strongly urge them to sit down and watch Rick Simpson's Run from the Cure. Since I am a medical user it makes it much easier to talk about the benefits from direct experience.
Good luck.
