27. I've noticed a 'curiosity' from that generation.

I'm 70 and have always relied on younger people for my cannabis needs. Old friends that are in their 70's have been listening to the proponents of medical marijuana and complaining to me - I don't know why - about modern medicine and why they still feel shitty. One guy is a former alcoholic, sober for decades and now driving a bus in his late 70's. Even though I know he could use it now, I've decided to wait until he doesn't need clean urine.

Once legalization takes place, these are the people we should convert. After years of abuse from the medical industry, they deserve the opportunity to 'feel better'!
