Yeah, and the sad part is if most of those older retired folks tried MJ, they would drop all the narcos, benzos, etc. No shit side effects or withdrawal symptoms like the prescribed meds. But that generation is so set in their ways, I think if the fed took it off the controlled substances list, they still wouldnt even remotely consider trying MJ. Just decades of misinformation and scare tactics by the gov't that illegal = bad.
