Yes, many people condemn the character of others, oftentimes without any real data. Public condemnation is another form of virtue signaling.

My biggest beef with this article is them calling 50 year olds seniors.

“The writer felt using the term “old farts” would be offensive.”

For 50+ year olds, I might go with “Fifty-somethings”, but for real “seniors”, I’d just go with “old”. Ain’t nuthin wrong with being just plain old.

Interesting story about Roanoke. Its airport gets more drug busts than any other airport. The reason being it is exactly half way between Miami and NYC.
Another problem for Culpeper, wild pigs in the area, especially around the Rt. 3 area.

It’s legal here in Michigan now but we just have no interest.

Indeed. Nobody should tell them what to do, nor do they need to listen to anybody.
Just that even for retired people there really are other joys in life, than sitting and being stoned.
But of course it’s everyone’s personal choice.

Im still trying to square that unique circle of logic.The same way you can accept that someone has been drinking since college, but aren't automatically an alcoholic.

It's hard for me to believe but I'm technically a senior citizen now. I've done more than just pot in my 20s. I've love to be able to try pot again but it sets a bad example for my son, so I won't.

"No, the reason is that they have all along, the senior stoners are yesterdays hippies."
Yes. Many of us have been told by the potheads over the years, about how they were warned by their employers in advance about drug tests. Now, some of them are coming out of the closet with it, while taxpayers are supporting their lifestyle advocacy in retirement. The libertine, communist Millennial faction didn't invent their aberrations. They picked up those bad habits from their sneaky elders.

Hey, pot is being legalized. Isnt that resulting in less government? Always should have been left to the States. Feds have no role.

Gosh that sure is nice of you. After months on chemotherapy and a constant state of pain and nausea I found relief with medical marijuana as well as being able to sleep. But now I guess I have to go back to pain, nausea, and insomnia because you say Im not old enough. I would tell you where you can stick your Prohibition-era type attitude but I dont want to get banned.

The legalization of Hemp in the agricultural bill is absolute madness. This stuff is a deadly narcoticNo, hemp is a near-zero-THC strain of marijuana. Educate yourself.
