Our parents, the baby boomers, are still potheads.

I am not sure if this really comes as a shock to me, but apparently Baby Boomers like to smoke the pot, according to this article in Reuters.

The rates of people aged 50 to 59 who admit to using illicit drugs in the past year nearly doubled from 5.1 percent in 2002 to 9.4 percent in 2007 while rates among all other age groups are the same or decreasing


If this is the case, these people are getting into the elderly years, and we all know elderly people LOVE to vote and write their legislators. Maybe we'll see MJ laws relaxing more and more in the coming years. One could only hope.
