Pass the Geritol and that doobie, please!

Can't you just imagine the "hippie commune" nursing homes of the future?

LOL...might not should laugh, but that's funny...and strange. Gramma with a pipe...that's just wrong, you know?

hahahaha!

good on them!

it's time for the medical community to recognize the benefits of cannabis!

de-criminalizing it would put a big dent in decreasing our prison overpopulation problems.

Being part of the old hippie generation, I don't find this surprising. Some have never stopped smoking. Some are taking it up again. As for the nursing home commune, a friend wrote a play about this very thing in 1969. It was very funny.

I'd love to see that play! I'll bet it would be a hit. Thoughts on cast besides Keith Richards?

Keith Richards is so perfect that I can't think of anyone else.

The next seniors I see out and about I will be looking for red eyes now.

There is definitely a time and place for everything

Since Alabama has some of the toughest pot laws in the country, I doubt any of us will get to legally fire down in our nursing homes.

Hey, forumaddict2, which would a person take first? The Geritol or the doobie?

Oh great. Now I got to start watching out for paranoid geriatrics with the munchies

Nothing worse than a stoner dropping his choppers while trying to munch cheetos

Dr Hiwasi has unwrapped people in better shape than Keith Richards.

Psychologists tell us that people joke about what they fear the most. Are you guys all afraid of getting old? Do you all plan to die by age 60? If so, please post so I can tally you!! The count should be really interesting! LOL! BTW, I do not need any of the listed items except perhaps the reefer - and it's illegal!

No reefer for me, nor any of the rest. Already 63 and counting. I've done what most have in their bucket list and plan on going further. It's harder to hit a moving target!

Today's grannies are yesterday's love children.

Don't bogart that joint, Grandma.

BYOB bring your own bong

Firer up that Hogleg Granny!

As far as I know, I have never been in the presence of marijuana and do not intend to be! My point was "DO NOT MAKE FUN OF OLDER PEOPLE UNLESS YOU PLAN ON DYING BY AGE 60! I made a feeble attempt at humor with the reefer remark since it was on the list, and it is obvious those who wish to make fun of me - or other older people jumped right in! "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread!" BTW, none of the "cute" posters volunteered to die by 60! LOL! Let me know so I can put you on the list- no takers thus far!

earthmomma, I have lived long past the age I thought I would live to.
You know I would never do anything to offend or hurt you. All the fools better watch out cause I'm here to defend earthmomma!

earthmomma, I'm pretty sure people were referring to the Grannie/Gramdma in the article. I don't see anyone here making cracks about old people. I'm not making fun of anybody, I think it's fine for seniors to smoke it, if they like. After all, some states already allow it for medicinal purposes. I don't see why more states don't. I'd be doing it myself if I wasn't afraid of getting busted. Maybe by the time I'm classified as senior, it'll be legal. If so, you can bet your bippy I'll ask my children to put me on the waiting list for the first nursing home that allows it.

The offense to me was the taking for granted that all the other things on the list were considered to be a part of the older citizen's life. Maybe I am not old enough yet! Yes,I know all the drug words- I taught drug education for seven years! AS I pointed out then and now,"Drugs are illegal!"

Well, I'm the OP and I didn't mean any offense to anyone. It was meant to be in fun, but clearly all of those products are aimed toward seniors in the advertising and that's why they were on the shopping list, since this article was about seniors smoking pot. I'm glad you don't need any of them, but I don't think people who do should consider it shameful or be defensive about it. Hey, it's life. We all know we'll be there one day...if we're lucky to live that long.

I take it from your post that you do not want to be on the "Die at 59" list! I will erase your name! LOL! The commercial which offends me the most is the one where the oldster says," And my chair did not cost me a penny. Medicare paid for it". I am on Medicare- and that is my money! I am lucky enough to have a hefty IRS bill every year - and he/she is telling everyone that a rolling chair can be finagled out of Medicare! For around the house, a walker will suffice for a lot less money when the need arises. FA, as long as you are safely off THE LIST, you are forgiven! Robert Browning once said, "Grow old along with me - the best is yet to be!" BTW, I learned this in 1948 and still remember it! I buried a 97 year old aunt about three months ago!

Yes, please. By all means, take me off that list!

In no way were my posts directed toward anyone, enough said.

Just wanted to add that I have nothing but the utmost respect for all seniors and that my post was not directed at anyone. Especially not you earthmomma. It was just a funny article, what can I say?

You know you're getting there when half the items in your shopping cart say. "FOR FAST RELIEF..."

As one that has met you, and had the honor of sitting and talking to you, i want you to know that, IMO, you are far younger that many others i've met that have lived only half your years.

When it is legalized maybe we can buy it at the "sex shop" on Mobile Street!!! LOL
