95 Yr Old Grandma Says Smoking Is The Receipe For Long Life by Kiddo01(m): 10:57am On Aug 11, 2019 |
[b][/b]since she started smoking at the age of 10, Melita Gordon says she won't stop smoking till she dies. According to the Jamaican grandma, stopping would kill her. This statement was backed by her doctor who speculates that her relationship with cannabis may be partly responsible for her longevity. Melita Gordon, the daughter of Richard Gordon and Michelle Jones says since she was baptized into the practice by her parents her commitment to pot has never ceased. As reported by Green Rush Daily, Gordon said speaking in patois, “When mi goes a doctor he say him ah tell mi fi to stop smoke marijuana, because if mi stop, him a go lose mi,” Cannabis plant Although she has been smoking every day all day long for 85 years, not everyone is happy with her habit. Especially her daughter, who despite begging her mother to stop or at least reduce it to a roll per day, has made no inroads between her mother and marijuana. Marijuana considered a narcotic in Ghana and some parts of the world, properties seems to have made its presence in half-truths and unfounded truths. But leaked scientific research conducted in the late 1990s appears to endorse Melita Gordon's ‘theory’ to a long and happy life. According to this unpublished results, the study revealed that THC (a chemical compound found in the cannabis plant) increased the life expectancy of the test subjects. At the end of the experiment, “those that were given THC had a clear survival advantage over the untreated rats”, as reported by the study. Probably we should revisit this study when weed is legalized in Ghana.

I have met many 100+ yr old men who are still chain smokers. "Smokers are liable to die young" isn't for everybody. To some, it is actually a recipe for long life just like the old woman said. One man's meat is another man's poison. |

Kingosytex:Depends on what they're smoking. Unlike tobacco, the compounds in cannabis are highly medicinal not the ones sold by agberos though, it's hard to vouch for those (they're often THC-laden and if you're not buying it for the psychoactive effects/"highs" you should completely avoid them) |

Kingosytex: But what message are they sending to the younger generation, and if eventually one their child happens to be an ardent smoker, will such person have the mind to reprove and reprimand? |
