Baby Boomer Drug Use Goes Sky High…No Pun Intended

Are you a “Baby Boomer?” If you answered “yes” to that question, I have another for you: What do you and your children most likely have in common? If you answered “pot,” not only are you right, but you are also a very troubled individual. The scary thing is that as boomers age in record numbers their old hippie lifestyle ages with them. Think for a second about all the 50 year-olds you see on a daily basis who you want to remind that: “Woodstock was almost 40 years ago…give it up.”?
According the the Baltimore Sun:
In the government’s latest report, reflecting drug use in 2007, 1 in 20 Americans ages 50 to 59 told researchers they had taken illicit drugs in the past month.
More than half of these older users still like their street drugs, including marijuana and cocaine. But as they contend with the aches and pains of aging, boomer drug users are adding prescription drug use to their mix of vices, according to the report from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
Let’s take this opportunity to sum up life in America. The economy is crashing, we can’t sell a car to save our lives, good luck buying or selling a house, India and China are eating us alive, and who do we have to fix this problem? A bunch of old potheads, and their equally addicted children. Ah, things are coming to a sorry state her in America.

You sir are a freaking idiot.
On what points JM? If you can point out anything that is not true I will be more then happy to eat crow. Otherwise I don’t think there was any call for your comment. I’m actually really curious to know what bothered you. Did the humor hit a little to close to home?
