Idiots.
Well that’s one way to get kids to not try pot. Make it as uncool and lame as possible
I miss a good glass of wine now and then.I don’t miss the pot one bit.
I'm not sure what "a budding group" means quantitatively. Are more seniors taking gummies, yes because the availability has increased with new laws. So this is a stupid lazy article. I would have hoped that with legalization for health purposes that at a minimum we would gather some data about usage and efficacy.
I do CBD for sleep. I took a Delta 8 by accident at bedtime and staggered to the bathroom later. That was not cool. My wife does Delta 9 for hip pain. No idea why it works.
Yeah, no kidding, just from what I’ve seen.
I used to take my husband to the local dispensary while he was fighting cancer - said pot was the only thing that relieved his pain and nausea.
The pot store was always filled with senior citizens, I expected young people and was really surprised. I figured they were old 60s hippies - or they were doing the same thing to alleviate pain.
Used to really like getting stoned but I found Christ, gave up the booze and the weed and I feel like a weight has been lifted of my shoulders, a weight I put there for not good reason.
Ping
I don’t care where the smoke comes from; there is ZERO chance that inhaling anything but clean air is good for your lungs.
20 years from now they will be warning about weed smoke causing cancer, guaranteed.
“The Deer Park resident takes 60 milligrams of gummies infused with THC”
BS
60mg of THC would put even experienced users into an outter orbit.
Awesome! I just celebrated 38 years.
They advertise all the great things these gummies will do for you ,LOL
Retirement homes are turning into the modern “commune”. That is hotbeds of sex and marijuana.
Not joking. STD’s are becoming a real problem.
Keep in mind that there are two ........veins of weed. One is high in CBD — which cannot make you high and can really relieve inflammation. It is good for arthritis. I took it when my arthritis became severe but quit when the stuff I was getting quit working — probably ‘cause it was fake and had no CBD in it.
The other form is for dope heads to get high on while showing disdain for alcohol.
The article begins innocently enough with an elderly person consuming edibles — but by the end, is full-tilt touting smoking as the only way to go.
Smoking anything is bad for you — whether tobacco, pot, wildfires, field burning, or the neighbor’s trash. Those who are very familiar with marijuana know that it leaves a thick resin and residue in their paraphernalia — which is doing the same thing to your lungs. Heavy chronic smokers of anything will note the same residue coating their walls, furniture, clothing, etc.
I don’t like these campaigns touting smoking pot as only having benefits without these grave risks — as most long-time pot smokers are aware of and have COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) as a result. Smoking anything will result in some form of lung irritation and disease. Smoking is the problem because it pollutes everybody’s air.
That is the point the marijuana advocates need to address — rather than their “right” to pollute everybody’s air and impose their “thing” on everybody else. Find a way to do it without offending everybody else. Otherwise, the offense is the problem — and not the solution — thoughtless individuals promote as their “right.” That’s what is wrong with society and political agendas — that they want everybody else to support and pay for.
I am not surprised considering the war on pain killers. Even dentists will no longer prescribe Tylenol with codeine.
