since we're not a nation of 20 year olds in the middle of dating frenzy. Many of us are ill and pretty much shut in, although we can still manage to go out once in a while and buy our food.

Once you're over 50, you can pretty much hang up a social life unless it's with family. Once you're over 50, the world starts to shrink quite a bit. Throw in an illness, and you're a hermit like I am.

Consider the suicide figures, the alcoholism figures. Legal grass could lower those quite a bit and that's a very good thing.
