It's Not the Kids Turning on to Weed; It's Grandma and Grandpa

39. Our first trip to a pot store here in Seattle was very telling.

When they legalized it we went pretty soon and there were lines outside every store (now there are enough not to have that). They were very interesting. LOTS of older folks mixed in with the varied others, all ages (over 21. BOY do you get your ID checked even if you're a grey hair like me) and walks of life. It was funny how we oldsters had that slightly stunned, shy smile. You don't get over the idea that you're doing something shady all at once.

I'm not a big time smoker. I can run out and not get around to replenishing for weeks. But I like it and I have gotten to know some good things about the medical strains, some of which are sold retail but not for medical use per se. They tend to be low THC and high CBD, the pain and inflammation reduction element. I'm a fan. Very little mental effect but it helps with those things we older types are increasingly having to put up with. I'm really glad it's available. It should be everywhere.
