“Waiting for the drug “warriors” to opine how this will make 65 year old people a drag on the productivity of the workforce.”
Most Pot Warriors are smart enough to know these folks are retired.
And setting a terrible example for their progeny./s
I wonder how that 4% that are users compare with the 96% for opioid addiction and drunkenness/alcoholism...
We’re unlikely to know because nobody cares enough to the fund the study.
Boomers are full of damn dirty hippies. Not shocking.
Folks born in the 50s deciding to smoke marijuana? I’m shocked! Shocked!!
Hmmm. Decide to smoke marijuana. You know what happens when you say that backwards?
Another one bites the dust!
Trippy!
Pot makes everyone paranoid, eventually.
If anyone has ultra pure acid...
Well, you cut off prescription drugs

“But never at dusk!”
Well there’s a store on nearly every block of every city in Oregon. Lots of loopy women here, too.
Too many people are ready to judge based on preconceptions. Like all drugs, some people do well with a particular drug, and some people do not. Alcohol is a drug that has no effect on some people and ruins some other peoples lives, same for marijuana, same for cocaine, same for heroin, and the same for goddamned caffeine.
From the movie, “Grumpy Old Men.”
“You’re supposed to be smoking filter cigarettes, Pop.”
“Yeah, well, I’m ninety-four years old. What the Hell do I care, huh?”
I tried it a handful of times in the 60’s and even inhaled it. Now I’m in my late 60’s and have no desire, even though it’s legal.
Unfortunately chronic marijuana and drug use is the legacy baby boomers left for America. Ever wonder why the exponential increase in the incidence of autism parallels the exponential rise in the use of illicit drugs in America? They will die leaving America a lesser place than the country that existed when they were born.
I wonder if these numbers include people who are using that CDC or whatever you call it oil?

I’m a boomer and know that more than 4% of our generation are potheads. All of the known drunks in the neighborhood are also known drug addicts. It doesn’t bother me that it’s being publicized, because I don’t identify with drug addicts of any age.
A problem should be objectively analyzed and defined before a solution can be realized. Vanity (e.g., group identity) only gets in the way. Removing stigma and penalties contributes to the problem of drug abuse.
“Was it ever unavailable, anywhere?”
Realistically, yes. If it’s not legal how would one procure it? I have no idea. Now it’s legal in Michigan and I know exactly where to get it.
Forget smoking -it’s all about the chocolate
They say that law impacts society as being a moral decider between right and wrong. Over the past few years, several states have told people it is no longer wrong.
This is also true with homosexuality and will be true of pedophilia. Once the law says it’s okay, more people will seek it out.
