Our state, Michigan, will have marijuana on the ballot in Novemeber. I heard some guy on the radio say that it won’t pass because “all the baby boomers will vote it down. All the younger folks want it, but the old guys don’t.”

What a mistake! I know lots of fellow boomers, myself included, who are hoping it passes. C’mon, radio guy, where you been? Who brought pot into the open? Who took it from being demon weed to Friday night’s special? The boomers.

I haven’t toked for close to 50 years. It makes me paranoid. Too bad, as I’ve heard it does great things for cancer patients. So, I don’t want/need it, but I say make it available. They are finally going to do what we always said they should do: make it legal, tax the shit out of it, and spend the money on schools and roads.

You are right. Legalization will eliminate all the illegal drug dealers we have today. All weed sold will be much more expensive but it will be heavily taxed and people will pay the higher price because it is good for roads and schools and stuff..

Don’t you just love pothead logic?

Can’t go fishing at a local lake without seeing all the senior citizens toking it up.

I quit tokin because I was always trying to keep my weight down. Grass will get rid of a headache in 5 minutes. Somebody once asked me if it kills severe pain. I said no it does not kill the pain you just don't give a chit anymore. 😊

“Too bad, as I’ve heard it does great things for cancer patients.”

It’s not a “one size fits all” situation. Sometimes you trade one bad thing for another.
