That is great to here Health! When I was last at the "green pharmacy", that's what I call the dispensaries, there were no fewer than 5 elderly men and women in the waiting room. I sat next to one gentlemen who was waiting for his wife, he explained that she had I believe it was Glaucoma, but I am not sure and that medical cannabis was recommended by here doctor as a last resort to surgery. While he waited for her to come out we talked a little, and he told me much to my surprise how he thought that keeping Cannabis illegal was ridiculous. He sited references to the prohibition days, he said, "look what happened there, they tried to stop it and people would find a way to drink anyway!" "and the crime..... look at how much crime there was", he said! I am 50 so I know he was well into his 70's or maybe 80's. He told me that, "the government needs to regulate it just like they did with alcohol, that's all they need to do" "Crime would be down and we wouldn't be wasting tax payers money every year trying to prosecute those who use marijuana!" I told him that he is absolutely right, and was really astonished at what I was hearing from this man! He said that his wife had done a lot of research online about medical cannabis and was open mined to trying it. "It was that or surgery", he replied
So, I left there feeling that this medical cannabis thing is really starting to gain legitimacy, even with the more conservative elderly folk.......and I couldn't have left there happier, after my little conversation with this gentlemen!
