May 2016

In the last few months I made my first foray to a clinic to get paperwork and then to a dispensary to get some veterinary cbd oil for one of my dogs. I was completely expecting to see the 'stereotype'--creepy, grungy, scary drug addicts lurking around the places. (reefer madness!) But the majority of people I saw were middle aged white people! I think there was one younger couple and one woman maybe late 30s or so at the clinic, and only middle aged or older at the dispensary. It actually made me laugh to myself, and thought exactly what this article is saying....the oldies (me included) are the main customers now.
