Boomers Smoking More Pot?
Some Baby Boomers aren’t giving up smoking pot as they age. Others are coming back to it as they retire, reports CBS News.
A survey by the federal government found the percentage of people 50 and older using marijuana went from 1.9 percent in 2002 to 2.9 percent in 2008.
The rise was most dramatic among 55- to 59-year-olds. Their reported marijuana use more than tripled from 1.6 percent in 2002 to 5.1 percent. Observers expect further increases as 78 million boomers born between 1945 and 1964 age.

I hope this is the case. Who cares if a +55 year old smokes weed once in a while. Just no DWS (driving while stoned).
