Grandmas smoking weed for the first time may be the cutest thing you will see all day.

I cannot tell you how big the smile is that this puts on my face.

I would love to hang out with these ladies. They seem a like a real kick in the ass.

You know towards the end of my grandmother's life she was in a great deal of pain.

In order to help her alleviate that pain my uncle, her son, brought pot over to my mom's house (That's where Grandma lived.) so that she she could smoke it and ease her suffering.

For some reason Grandma was really concerned that I would be angry as I am the non-drug user in the family.

So I came over to talk to her, and I essentially said "Grandma you are in your late seventies, and I know you are in a lot of pain. Hell as far as I'm concerned you can be mainlining heroin and I would have no right to judge you. Whatever you have to do to make yourself feel comfortable, that is fine with me."

And I have to say that, much like these ladies, my grandmother stoned was a hell of a lot of fun to hang out with.

    Thanks for that video - watching that was probably the most fun I'll have all day.

    Fun to see grandmother's enjoying themselves like that. Would like to try it myself but I don't know if my lungs could handle the smoke. Brownies laced with weed seems more appealing to me. Anyone have the recipe?

      @7:19 Here ya go, just be REALLY careful, eating cannabis is way stronger than smoking it and the problem is that it can take up to an hour before you start to feel it. DO NOT make the typical mistake of thinking it's not "doing anything" and keep eating more and more. I'd start with a quarter of a brownie and wait an hour...

      Bring 2 quarts of water to a low boil and add a wad of weed to it, along with 2-4 sticks of real butter. Let simmer for 30 minutes. Strain the liquid into a glass cake pan. Squeeze the weed to get all of the liquid out of it, even pouring more hot water through it to extract as much as you can. Place the liquid in the fridge. The butter will harden on the top of the water. This is what you will use in your regular Brownie recipe. Substitute 1\3 to 1\2 along with the regular shortening. Reserve the rest in your fridge.

      I tried eating it once and made my friends take me to the hospital in total freakout. We made brownies for a road trip, 2 dozen with an half ounce of weed, and we each ate 3 and then the dog in the back of the rover at the rest. Suffice it to say, she was way messed up but we were too messed up to take her to a vet. Luckily she survived after eating over a quarter of pot in brownies...

  3. I am a gra'ma who DID smoke marijuana when I was younger, in college, and I don't remember having that much fun then, probably because I was paranoid that I would get caught and have to go to jail. Alcohol just made me puke.

    Ahem. Seems disingenuous for women of that certain age to deny smoking', tokin' and jokin'. Been there. Done that. Named the sculptures in Earthquake Park.

    Do you think Trig's grandma Sarah gets drunk with her kids, smokes weed, does meth or all three?

  7. I would have to call bullshit on this - the vast majority of people who smoke weed don't feel much at all the first time. They just think they do because of the placebo effect.

      Didn't watch the video, but you are absolutely correct with regards to minimal if any noticable affects for first time use.

      Oh well. The first time I smoked...let's see...47 years ago, I went to the moon.

      Bullshit is as bullshit does. Call it what you want, I don't see you as an authority.

      I was 12 the first time I smoked and damn, I felt a lot! We stole weed from my best friend's dad's office cabinet, the weed he took from her older brother, plus the pipe to smoke it in. We were in 6th grade and we got so high that we played piano for 2 hours and them swam in the pool and then ate jello and pudding mix from the boxes and had a great time. I guess we talked about some deep stuff for 12 year olds. We did end up getting in trouble for breaking into the cabinet and stealing the weed. We then realized that the full wet bar that was in the family entertainment room was full of cases of booze that no one ever inventoried and found that stealing and drinking booze was a lot easier than finding pot. Thus we became pretty serious drunks by the time we were 16...we kept up a pretty strict GPA though and both went to the college of our choice, but we spent a lot of time absolutely wasted, and to this day I drink everyday but rarely smoke pot. My husband is a smoker but I'm a bottle of wine and 6-pack of beer a-day and pack of smokes girl. (I say girl but I'm almost 50) I might make a change here soon because I think the booze is making me fat :-)

    This is a cute vid, but the issue is a serious one. I have posted this before, but is should be required reading for anyone who is concerned about the issue. Good information here in the article, written by a DO, but click the button for the pdf.

    We did the same thing for my Dad when it became apparent he was in severe pain, toward the end, maryjane didn't help and the doctor prescribed his pain pills. I remember when they arrived, the label said "Comfort Pack" and there were so many damn instructions, I had to call just to figure out the doseage.
    It's a harrowing position to be in, didn't want to overdose him, yet didn't want him in pain either. We finally settled on an IV set up. One day, I hear pops laughing and describing running through the fields with his fishing gear and friends while he held a stuffed animal. It was comforting to me to see him not in pain and actually laughing. He would describe where he was going, who was going with him, and talking about fishing, his favorite sport.
    The video was cute, reminded me of "The Golden Girls".
