I'm older too and I'm actually happy that the children of today have Cannibis.com as a resource. I'm especially glad to know that they are growing their own....at least if they are going to smoke they won't have to worry about dirty weed. On the other hand, I'd never smoke with someone underage or even much younger than I am...I figure 25yrs on up and the person is pretty much fully cooked so that's ok....as for excons, well, unfortunately they are everywhere and the best advice would be to take any advice received on this forum and measure it against common sense...if a stranger is trying to meet up with you, well, that should raise an antenna. The more time you take to get to know a person, the better you'll be able to understand their motives. Never rush into a "meet" but take your time and examine all possible angles.
