Remember, this is the organization that thinks my cell phone out of airplane mode is going to bring down an airliner. My offer stands, I bet 1 bag of cool ranch doritos that my 1st joint will be the day I turn 65 years old (or whatever the retirement age is when I finally get there) and not a day before (or after).
The social stigma only exists for citizens over the age of 70. They also happen to be the most reliable voters. There are less of them everyday.
