What goes around comes around. Big Pharma bites itself in the ass.
Over decades Big Pharma has increasingly pimped pharmaceuticals to the point that commercial television is dependent to a growing degree on pharmaceutical advertising revenue. Try watching commercial telly and see for yourself. All y'all are ****ed up and you need to be take pharmaceuticals so that you too can sit in adjoining bathtubs on the beach and gaze lovingly at each other while holding hands. What's up with that anyway?
Go to the doctor and he/she will want to give you script for everything. Sometimes that not a bad thing. Often it isn't the best thing. Either way, we are and have been, for the most part, willing participants in a chemical world. We've got the scars to show for it. Yes, we're living longer - unwanted with side effects. And frequently we are prescribed pills to counter the side effects of the pills that we are prescribed.
Boomers are saying there's got to be a better way, a healthier, more effective way to mitigate the maladies accumulated over a lifetime. Boomers are turning to medicinal cannabis. Research confirms it. Research also shows that there is a decline in teen use of marijuana by about 24%.
Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

Whether it's wide-open medical marijuana states like California or fully legal states like Colorado, the gray-haired set is increasingly turning to pot, and not just to ease their aches and pains With a half-dozen more states likely to have legalization on the ballot (and win) this year and medical marijuana coming to more, grandma and grandpa are set to become even more interested.
Last week, CBS This Morning reported on the phenomenon of senior marijuana use, and the numbers are striking. Citing data from the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the program reported that the number of pot users over 55 jumped from 2.8 million in 2013 to 4.3 million in 2014, a 55% increase in a single year.
