Hey, Boomer Drug Use is Up - 3rd year in a row!
Now that I can identify with.

Dtroit Free Press says that boomer drug use was up 2.7% in 2004, and 4.4% in 2005.

Pot is by far the drug of choice for everyone.

Last month 14.6 million pot users

2.4 million cocaine users

6.4 million used prescription drugs for non-medical stuff.

Yes! Its the new Drug Nation!

1. No replys. Are we so old no one really cares if we do drugs?
Maybe that is one way we can spend our old age. We will all just sit around in old age homes and get stoned.

Sounds good to me.

2. sounds to me like it's time to admit that we've lost the War on Drugs
Now let us all bow down before our new, lifestyle-enhancing, highly addictive masters.

3. Doesn't surprise me
I don't think I know a single person IRL who doesn't do some kind of drug, or wasn't a habitual user at one point. :shrug:

4. I wouldn't be surprised if the suicide rate went up.
I'm curious to know if more boomers are hanging it up since Bush took office.

5. As far as that goes
if the government is stolen again this November, I think the suicide rate will definetly rise. As far as toking up, I need to stay stoned to deal with this fucked up reality.
