    Over the years, I have done my part to introduce people to THC. First in high school, then a long break. This year, I bought some gummies for the hell of it when I noticed we were walking past a weed shop. My partner tried it for the first time and loved it.

    50% seems low to me, but I guess we have a huge elderly population. To my surprise, my father told me that he tried it when his wife’s brother offered it. He said he didn’t get high. I think he wasn’t taught how to properly inhale. But it goes a long way to showing the growing acceptance. He was very anti-drugs when I was growing up.

    TLDR: I’m doing my part.
