This is Edith Klien, a retired geometry teacher. At the age of 78 she is an active marijuana user and has been for the past 14years. She is apart of the elder growing marijuana community,consisting of thousands of new elder smokers each day. “Marijuana really helps with joint pain and any other discomfort i feel by having these old bones [laughs]” said Edith as she packed her brown swirl bowl she named Graham cracker.

Billions of Earths
European astronomers have announced findings that suggest the number of Earth-like planets in the Milky Way may be in the billions. 
The high accuracy radial velocity planet searcher (Harps) team have said that around 40% of red dwarf stars have ‘super-Earths’ in the habitable region (i.e. planets which are between 1-10 times the size of the Earth, and conveniently happen to be where the temperature is cool enough to support liquid water).
As there are over 160 billion red dwarfs in the galaxy, this means that there are many planets that could potentially support life.
Such a large number is considerably greater than what was previously estimated. These findings will certainly make us re-evaluate the Fermi paradox: the question that if life-compatible planets are so abundant why do we not see any evidence of extra-terrestrial intelligence?
