Title: Pot use among seniors goes up.

I love this! :bg

QuoteIn her 88 years, Florence Siegel has learned how to relax: A glass of wine. A copy of The New York Times, if she can wrest it from her husband. Some classical music, preferably Bach. And every night, she lifts a pipe to her lips and smokes marijuana.

Gray-haired tokers turn to marijuana to relieve many problems of aging. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35519187/ns/health-aging)

The cops sweep all the place here, so no one dare to sell it anymore, most of my friends jailed right now, some of them are freed after a few years, so I guess I just need to quit. You have some?  :green

It is illegal here in the States too except for medical use but that doesn't stop most of us baby boomers from smoking it. It's very easy to find if you want it bad enough. Most states if they catch you in posession of an ounce or two they will confiscate it and fine you. If you're a pot dealer the criminal charges are more severe but it's rare to get a year or more in jail unless you are a repeat offender. When you apply for a job many company's require you to take a urine test for drugs but once you get the job you can go back to smoking it. The thing is you have to be pretty dumb to be smoking pot on the job. :bg

Farabi,

If they are that strict about it there, I think you are wise not doing it.

I haven't smoked it for years, but in my youth I did now and then.  I did try some for my upper-back pain a few years ago, but it didn't really help.

I do think it should be decriminalized, it should be treated the same as alcohol is.

Legalize then tax it. The US could eliminate its entire national dept and buy everyone healthcare. That's how many pot-heads we have here in the States. :bg
