Baby-boomers' drug use is rising as youth drug use falls. This says something about all the youth-bashing threads on this forum lately.

Whatever, baby boomers will always be "the best".. so i guess it's not worth contesting.

What do you expect from hypcrite hippies?

Illegal drug use is up?

They must have gotten bored with their antidepressants and drugs prescribed for their 'needs'.

Remember Boomers were once Hippies. These were the very people that made recreational drug use what it is today! Of course Hippies will always use drugs! lol

To quote a Dickens novel, can I have some more please?

It's understandable that drug use among boomers is increasing. Wages are stagnant, we're in an endless war, and our children are leaving the nest. What's left to do but get stoned?

Great! Booomers getting themselves further in debt for the rest of us to pay 20 years later

actually most boomers who are using can afford it quite easily.

i don't think this is a big problem... i don't know why people really care. the baby boomers are the former hippies who used to use the stuff all the time anyways.

And people thought they would be the ones to legalize stuff.
