POPSElderly Drug Abuse on the Rise - Pot The article: Baby Boomers and Elderly Often Overlooked Substance Abusers cites the research below as the base for the discussion. I clipped the research link so I could get back to the graphs. It's quite shocking. Grandma and Grandpa are smoking as much pot as their grand-teens. "Just as teens are having problems with prescription drugs, baby boomers, and the elderly often suffer more for their use and abuse of these drugs.

It may be a cliché, but forewarned is forearmed." (It's 10 o'clock...do you know where your Granny is? All kidding aside, I can see why the older population would be even more susceptible to substance abuse. They have a lot more to deal with in this screwy economy than we do. Escapism exists at all levels).
