Hi everyone,
I was born in 1942 and have been smoking marijuana since 1965.

I was busted in 1992 and quite for many years, but now, I have a medical card and in the state I live in, I can grow a few plants legally and smoke legally. I have tried life with marijuana and without. I prefer with - here is why:

Older folks, women particularly I think, lean towards insomnia. It is a fact that we need less sleep as we get older but insomnia is no fun-pot helps me sleep. It reduces the eye pressure so the glaucoma I have does not blind me, it is relaxing and spiritually benefical. I am calm and peaceful when I smoke and when I am "on the wagon" am more tense and find it difficult to relax and meditate.

I'm a really healthy 65 year old and work full time, have fun with my granddaughter and take care of 3 dogs and 4 cats. I practice yoga, meditation and walk every day. Marijuana has helped me be in top physical shape. Any comments from any other seniors out there?
