Shuffleboard? Oh, Maybe Lets Get High Instead

Statistics suggest that more members of the older generations, like Ms. Neufer, are using marijuana.
The National Survey on Drug Use and Health reported in 2011 that 6.3 percent of adults between the ages of 50 and 59 used the drug. That number has risen from 2.7 percent in 2002.
And anecdotal evidence points to much of this use being sociable rather than medical.
When 70-year-old Robert Platshorn, a marijuana activist who was jailed for three decades after dealing the drug, moved into a gated community in West Palm Beach, Fla., three years ago, he said he met people in my development who were looking strange at me. Now, he said, couples invite him to their condominiums to get high together (Mr. Platshorn insisted he never accepts these offers).
Moms for Marijuana International, a pro-marijuana group that brings people together to socialize and learn about the positive aspects of the plant, has received so many queries from older people over the past year that it is creating chapters called Grannies for Grass in Illinois, Ohio and Missouri.
