What's a cause or issue that you've become more passionate about as you've gotten older?

[caramel]

For me, I'm more concerned about the income disparity in the US (but it's happening around the world as well) and how that's getting worse. I'd like to see more done for people who can't get the baseline amount of money to live. I try to support political candidates who are supporting this cause. It's something I thought less about when I was younger, thinking that things can always get better. Sometimes they can, sometimes they can't.

Income disparity also bothers me and the fact that it’s driven entirely by greed makes me angry at my fellow man. However, my main concern is the environment - the world we are giving my grands and g’grands to live in and that is often the result of thoughtlessness and the general lack of foresight … act now, consider the consequences later.

 

[Paco Dennis]

I will third that. The development of a society that puts human well being first and foremost.

 

[DebraMae]

I agree, it is greed. I think though, that they know what the consequences are. They just don't care.

Advanced directives - people should be able to make advanced directives a head of time for when they no longer can think for themselves - dying with dignity. I support the process both emotionally and financially

 

[Mr. Ed]

It seems selfish but I care more about my health and relief from pain. I figure the world does what the world does with or without my support.

The reclassification of Cannabis for seniors. I've been using marijuana for fifty-two years without harmful effects I want to get stoned at least an Indica gummie at night to hold off the dreams.

Do you have bad dreams ?
Do you know something? I quit cannabis for about a month now and I’ve just started remembering my bad dreams. The dreams are so vivid and scary. I never gave it a thought that it could be a side effect of quitting cannabis.

as in. . . 'get off my lawn'?

I don't care what my lawn looks like, just that everyone gets off it.

 

[JBR]

As a print journalist for over 20 year, I researched & published a lot of articles on environment and related topics, including lifestyle adaptation to ecological & biospheric circumstances. After that, for seven years most of my time was spent managing a business association that was compatible with, and linked to, forestry reform.

After semi-retirement, during which I did some editing toward publication of other people's writing, I've mainly been occupied with maintaining our 8.5-acre homestead in the BC mountains. But I'm still involved with ecological stuff, as I'm a board member of a local river steward's association. We do scientific study, conservation & restoration work, and educational outreach with local schools and our community.

 

[StarSong]

My cause is the large umbrella of human greed for money and power, which I see as the root causes of pretty much everything listed above.

Poor treatment of other humans, animals, the environment, etc., all come back to greed for more money and more power/control.

It's very disheartening.

I’m glad it’s legal where you are.
I used to have nightmares all the time then decades ago they just stopped. Now they have come back. I’d never have thought they’d be adverse effects from quitting cannabis. Now I’m not sure what to do.
Maybe some experimenting needed. I’ve been using almost as long as you. Do you only use at night?

Well, not in here they don't want to be held liable if I get stoned and hurt myself, they won't even let me have Tylenol without a doctor's say-so. I can understand their point of view, but I've been adulting for a long time and believe that I can make decisions for myself I suppose everything has it's trade-offs.
