Many seniors see weed as less damaging then the prescription drugs the doc wants to put them on. or have weened themselves off opioids with the help of weed.

Other do it out or boredom and isolation.

In CA they grow their own, trade product, cuttings and seeds as hobby.

Two more ideas:

- Some are remembering their youth.

- Others have been warned to cut their alcohol consumption.

It use to be smuggled in Mad Dog 20/20 the nursing homes had to look out for.

Just think-— Palm Beach or N. Miami highways filled with elderly driven Mercedes and Lex(i),Caddies and Bentleys— all of them stoned out of their gourds. Oh, and the few who can afford a driver-— much safer.

A different kind of diversion from the usually very very .... drunk ... Senior Executives.... LOL.

Association found opioid prescriptions for Medicare part D recipients dropped 14% after a state legalized medical marijuana – a hopeful sign amid the opioids crisis.

There might be a drop because you can’t get prescription pain killer anymore, doctors are very reluctant to prescribe those

Important to know: 1. if you have medical marijuana card, or found with or admit to using pot and 2. own firearms, then FEDS will send you to prison. Applies to recreational pot states also.

I quit smoking that shyt in 1972. Mainly because I got tired of getting threats to have my utilities shut off for forgetting to pay the bill. After 46 years I don’t miss it one bit. However the people I know who kept smoking are all victims of TDS. Don’t let it happen to you.

The kids have grown up and moved out, and it's legal (in many places).

But are they really smoking it or ingesting it in other ways?
