Damn another old phart! Have fun with the gov paper work when you hit 65! A tip, went with Transamerica for supplemental, plan F. They are the only ones that don't impose age related premium increases.

Best, cheapest drug coverage I found was Humana/Walmart, only $12.60/month and all 5 of my meds are covered/shipped free if I mail order tier 1 & tier 2 drugs. $4 each for a Walmart walkin. Most expensive are the 2 glaucoma drops. Save this info, you'll need it. ;)

Most confusing process I've been thru in a long time. Well, not quite as confusing and complicated as most growers try to make out growing a weed here, but close. :)

58 here, i was a late bloomer didn't start smoking till the age of 50. reefer was around it in high school but smoking didn't interest me, sports did. and the reason i tried pot was for pain relief, the doctors wanted me to take pain meds, i did for about 3 months, just i felt like i was poisoning myself and my mind was fuzzy. so i heard all the hype about pain relief from pot. it worked for me. pot makes my head fuzzy but in a different way! and i like it.

61 this year.Ive only bin growing for 3 years but its one of the best hobbies ive ever had.
This old dog can still learn a few tricks,lol.
Home grown painkiller,anti depressant,appetite enhancer and sleeping pill all in one.
Im saving my government a fortune in free prescriptions(over 60`s in UK get scrips free).
It beats me how something so benefical can be classed illegal.

54 this year! Took dads rottotiller to the back field at 14 and planted about 50 Mexican bag seeds in rows lol. Never stopped after that, they just got bigger! Semi Retired and looking out over the lake now! Thank you marijuana, and thank you government! Without the great plant and the government making it a illegal and valuable commodity I wouldnt be here lol. Thanks again!!!

I hear ya, do it once or twice a year and it's a bitch not being able to stand straight for a few days. These coconut oil pills are a must if you're over 50, take one every night myself and have the GF taking low dosage one's because she doesn't like being stoned but does like the body stone and relief of any aches & pains. Step by step recipe attached, a 50 to 75mg pill will take care of that back in an hour and last all night.

57 farmer at heart. Grand,grand, father were farmers. Love to grow anything that's a challenge. Pot head from the 70's big time. Laid back old fart now! Trying to rekindle some excitement in my life and reduce old age pain and aches.

60 this month. smoked in the 70's then gave it up. started again due to health problems. retired at 55 and thanks to this wonderful medicine i'm completely off prescription drugs. growing my own makes it affordable and it is a fun hobby. never thought I would enjoy gardening so much

I retired this year at 65... popped my first seed at 17.. Seattle cops removed my plant for me. So I started an
inside grow in my basement.. a bunch of fluorescent shop lights.lol ... bought my first hid in 72..
74- 84 grew in a 14 x 64 trailer house we bought for salvage.. neighboring grow got busted so we quit while we were still
ahead.. still grew in my closet till 95... 96 -15 grew legally for our co-op.. now I have a 2x4 tent...Wow all that in 48 years....
Time.. the older you get the faster it goes! Oh well
