Is your Granny smoking Cannabis?

Question

I saw some old lady on the news saying it is great for aches and pains.My nan smokes it.i just hope she dosent get on to cocaine and heroin

Answer 1

they both have been dead for years and i doubt they did

Answer 2

Yep, been a hippy since the 70's, don't take chemical medication but pot is great for all sorts of ailments, one spliff a night does not a drug addict make ( I don't smoke cigarettes or I don't drink alcohol). I sleep great, and don't exceed the daily allowance !!.
Also, you can adjust the dosage according to the ailments, that's why cannabis users of my generation only do cannabis(well the ones I know anyway).

Answer 3

she wont get on cocaine or herin if she doesnt want to. Its all about will power. They call marijuana the gateway drug but honestly if the person wants to try cocaine or heroin they would no matter if they smoked weed first or not.


seeing how she is elderly, let her smoke it, hell she needs to go out happy

Answer 4

Considering that Cannabis isn't habit forming, & chances are your nan isn't out roaming around for drug dealers--I suspect there is not a great chance that you'd have to worry about her using it as a "gate-way" drug...

Plus, many seniors are on habit-forming "legal" drugs that are far more dangerous so be glad that she's chosen cannabis over her sleeping pills or pain pills any day.

Answer 5

im sure ur granny is smart a nuff not to even contemplate taking cocaine or heroin
