You can get stoned and no one ever even guesses that's why you might be acting funny. They just think it's an old person acting dotty.
Sometimes I wonder just how many older people still get stoned? I think people might be amazed.

Confuses the shit out of younger folks, too; they listen to some stoned jibber-jabber and think it's very Zen, or maybe just too deep for them.

Kind of Cheech and Chongish. I love to watch them do the whole old stoner thing.

What a gift! I can practically get away with murder and no one notices.
So funny.

(115,683 posts)Now that I'm old there are a lot of things that used to seem important but that I just don't give a shit about any more. On the other hand, there are some kinds of crap that I used to think I had to tolerate that I now realize I don't have to tolerate - and I don't. So I'm both more and less mellow than I used to be.

you that you don't put up with shit as you age. I used to be a doormat. Now the thought of being around the people who liked that about me makes me want to retch. You become more assertive as you age. You play to your strengths. In my case I found out I actually had strengths. That being said I do think evil people, testosterone filled evil people who messed with my worklife and friends, do mellow with age. I'm banking on it.
