Its-all about the chocolate now
10 mg. No smoke
Here in Virginia, Fauquier and Culpeper counties are finally being called the epicenter of a drug epidemic. So many people are over-dosing.
For years it has been kept quiet. We just read that some man or woman, aged 15 to 55, ‘died at home’.
Parents are letting their kids dabble and maybe introducing them, start with grass.
Who told you that? LOL
Doing drugs is running away from life and reality.

So is alcohol, television, and even sticking your face in a smart phone.
I know many baby-boomer friends and relatives who smoke weed.
They smoked when young, as part of their culture. They gave it up (or reduced it a lot) during family-formation and professional working years.
They have taken up smoking weed again in retirement. I attribute as an attempt to return to the carefree days of their youth, especially since their responsibilities are now lessened. As for health/cognitive effects - the attitude seems to be “screw it, I’ll do what I want, and I’m getting old anyway”
I am yesterday’s hippie, but haven’t smoke pot since 1979. What am I missing?
That question goes with “why do so many balding gray-haired dudes have ponytails?”
Oh goody, another weed thread amongst people who say they want less government in their lives.
“The seniors all came up in the hippie/post-hippie era”.
That’s it, exactly. Thanks for your common sense answer.
Because they can, baldy. :-)

Bingo! Enough BS from the nanny-staters!
“I’ve got a pound of Santa Cruz Sticky in the office drawer - figure it’ll last me about 5 or 6 years. “
Better put that in canning jars with airtight lids...up in a dark closet.
Or it won’t last more than a year or two.
Was it a backyard product or a gift?
Or maybe they have problems dealing with judgmental types.
Pretty good psychologizing... I agree with most of it. That was a pattern I saw many times with my generation.
Are these seniors in hippy-dippy land?
The people who smoked in college are now retired, and see no reason not to.

I may have been trolled, but I actually don’t disagree with you. :D
Buy from a Senior citizen.
Their joints are stiffer.
“Here in Virginia, Fauquier and Culpeper counties are finally being called the epicenter of a drug epidemic.”
Culpeper is a thoroughfare and has had an undercurrent of felony dtifting through it for a solid 40 years. Fauquier is now feeling the effects of the cartels as the sprawl moves into the region. Roanoke suffers as does that whole I-81 corridor.
