clippers remarks: Apart from becoming a source of tax revenue and cutting prison costs, it would save a lot of lives in Mexico, while crippling the drug barons. Many years ago, there used to be a saying: "It is better to have dope and no money, than money and no dope."
A new US government report predicts that over the coming decade, as America?s 78 million baby-boomers grow older, stoned grandpas and grandmas will be commonplace ? especially in parts of the country where marijuana can be obtained legally for medicinal purposes. Political analysts believe that this demographic shift in marijuana use is likely to hasten the drug?s full legalisation across the US.

The report, by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, claims that the number of 55 to 59-year-olds in the US using marijuana has more than tripled since 2002 to 5.1 per cent.


Users of marijuana have long claimed that it works as a treatment for the aches and pains of ageing, particularly arthritis, and that it is also an effective sleeping medication.


On top of this, Americans approaching the age of 60 were teenagers during the Vietnam War in the 1960s, when smoking marijuana became an integral part of the hippie movement.
