granny is a toker

My mother in law who has advancing pancreatic cancer took her first puffs of marijuana the other day. Luckily she lives in California where they have medical marijuana laws and say what you will, the stuff works. She now has an appetite, is more enthusiastic about life, has regained a sense of humor and most importantly, has something to look forward to, even if it's just her next toke. 

The funniest thing she showed me when we arrived from New York to spend a week with her was the marijuana lollypops she got from a friend. My mother in law still doesn't have her legal paperwork in order to obtain the primo pot so she's 'making do' with whatever anybody gives her which seemed to me, quite a lot. She had a small handful of joints and a very crumbly pot brownie and a half dozen of these lollypops that it turns out old people like to suck on since very few of them have the dexterity at this point to roll a joint. The lollypops look exactly like regular lollypops which made me think how much fun it would be just to walk down the streets of my home town, sucking one. 

Go Granny, Go Granny, Go Granny Go. My mother in law is not exactly the little old lady from Pasadena, but right now, she's pretty close.
