Today is your day Boomer! Are you a Boomer pot smoker? No big deal nowadays....as you are in the majority. About 55% of North American Boomers are using or have used cannabis in the past, and "daily" use has taken an uptick. According to a new study, daily and near-daily cannabis use is now more common than similar levels of drinking in the U.S.! This is for all ages, not just Boomers. And the study's author Jonathon Caulkins adds "Alcohol is still more widely used, but 2022 was the first time this intensive level of marijuana use overtook high-frequency drinking; 40 per cent of current cannabis users are using it daily or near daily, a pattern that is more associated with tobacco use than typical alcohol use." This means many people are addicted and many use it like alchol....like having a social glass of wine before or during dinner. Boomers use it for medicinal and recreational reasons, and of course, we grew up in the pot era of the 1960s-70s....when marijuana was accepted and everywhere! Smoke on Boomers, but one warning from a doctor: "High frequency use increases the risk of developing cannabis-associated psychosis,” a severe condition where a person loses touch with reality."
Today is your day Boomer! Well, yesterday was my day! My long-awaited dream of building and opening a new high school gym in Summerland came true! 550 students watched, smiled and vigourously applauded as the SD67 school trustees officially cut the ribbon and opened the facility. The kids played in their new gym, in a so-called Rocket Rally, right after that and then 200 more mostly-Summerlanders attended a two-hour opening fundraiser that evening. There were people, young and old, every where: going on tours, eating food, watching volleyball and basketball, listening to speeches, and investing money in 30 community-donated silent auction items and a huge 50/50 raffle...organized by the school's Parent Advisory Council. The final fundraiser tally was about 7000$...made in only two hours! Congratulations students and staff of SSS. Your new gym is finally here, the first new one since 1951! Play on....
