I found this article to be particularly amusing. It centers around data showing a spike in cannabis use amongst people in the 65 and older age group.
The humor is two fold: first, duh? The 65+ age group is increasingly dominated by baby boomers. Of course the former hippy generation is returning to cannabis now that it’s legal. This is some big surprise??
Second, look how jittery the doctor is that they interviewed for the piece. “Oh! They might get dizzy!! They might mix it with alcohol!!” I mean, he makes a good point about people with diabetes taking it up. That probably isn’t a great idea since it tends to lower blood sugar. But some of the other comments are very amusing.

The piece is kind of click bait anyway. I doubt many are actually losing sleep over 65+ people getting high.
