If the results of The annual National Survey on Drug Use and Health are accurate, then more baby boomers are smoking the wacky tobacco.

• Drug use increased from 2.7%t in 2002 to 4.4% last year

• Marijuana was the drug of choice

CNN.com - These are your parents on drugs - Sep 7, 2006

I just find this weird. Anybody know any 50-59 year old stoners?

If you death was imminent, wouldn't you smoke more weed? I sure would.

This generation started off as drug using teenagers mooching off mom and dad, so it's a fitting end that they'll become drug using dependents at the nursing home, mooching off their children.

Just last night I was hanging with a friend who's in her mid-60s. She has got the best weed around!

Substitute "grocery", "tobacco", or "alcohol" for "drug" in your reply, and the difference is what?

Personally, I'd rather go back to dope than **** my liver with beer, but although I very much like living in the police state I'm in right now, I sure as hell don't want to be spending any time with the cops as they substitute "heroin" for "weed" in the paperwork.

Your mileage might vary.
