In one senior living facility, residents got the opportunity to take a highly unusual kind of tour.

Eight residents of Village Concepts, an assisted living facility in Seattle, toured a marijuana production plant along with a retail marijuana shop. They learned about different forms of marijuana and even got to interact with the plants growing in the facility.

The production plant was one of many in Washington, a state where marijuana consumption is legal for adults over the age of 21.

Among elderly adults, the CDC reports that marijuana consumption has risen 455 percent since 2002. Many senior citizens use the drug to help ailments such as arthritis.

Residents who went on the tour said the experience was unforgettable.
