95 years old woman smoke marijuana to live a longer life

A wonder woman, Melita Gordon, she is 95 years old and is in a habit of smoking marijuana since early years of her life. She lives in Maroon Town, Jamaica. Ignoring the protestation of her children and other relatives, she has no intention to quit a habit that stayed with her for a major portion of her life.

The undeterred Gordon has a strong belief that her journey to 100 would have been cut short if she had thrown down her loyal pipe and marijuana long ago. She became hooked to the habit of smoking marijuana at a very early age. AT 10 years of age, she was having her own smoking episodes out of her parents’ knowledge.

All through her elementary school she continued smoking marijuana then she started having her nine children, but there was no giving up.

Interestingly, her husband, Manuel Gordon stayed away from marijuana. She strongly believes that smoking marijuana is linked to longer life. She told reporters of a man who died eight years ago after making it to age 100 years, six months and 12 days.

There is no particular reason for her being hooked on marijuana, although she admits smoking marijuana relaxes her and helps her to think more clearly. 

With pressure mounting from family members, including her daughter with whom she lives, to quit, she has proposed a compromise by reducing her smoking to once a day, a far cry from when she would smoke marijuana all day long.
