120-Year-Old Woman Claims Smoking Pot Everyday Is Her Secret
- Thread starter mriko
- Start date
I find it very suspicious how she died shortly after this article was published.

Sometimes it's difficult to tell if you're joking.........If not, well, people have to die at some point. If herb was her secret to a long life, excellent, but I doubt it makes anyone immortal...
I guess I need to use emoticons more often. Yes, I was joking, but I guess there are enough whacked out conspiracy theorists who would have posted that as an honest belief. Anyway, I edited above for clarification.
Thanks for the clarification

Haha...suspicious. She was 120! If there was ever a time to live by the phrase "live like today is your last", it's when you're 120.
I think you have to remember the differences between correlation and causation when trying to analyze a situation like this. Just because two factors exist alongside each other, you can't conclude that one caused the other.
It's all hereditary. As much as I love pot, I have to roll my eyes when I read crap like this. Sorry I'm such a party pooper.
Thanks for posting the article though,

a 72 year old grandson, wow!
anyway, its not because of pot, it prolly helped
but how long you live is your choice, you actually plan out your death also.
most people are just not aware.

Most of us who are living in industrial areas will never gain that age, smokin' herb or not. It's simply a matter of livin' in a healthy natural enviroment. My grandgrandfather died at the age of 94. He spent all his life in his native village, doing only what he wanted to do and when he wanted to do it (except 1 year in the army service), eating only natural products (a lot of fresh milk and cheese, mainly), drinking a glass or 2 homemade plum brandy everyday, breathin only a clean fresh air. He never smoked tobacco (maybe only for a short period in the army) and he enjoyed happy hemp harvests for, like, 40 years. At the age of 90 he was able to climb up to 10 meters tall tree in a few minutes and to cut off unnececery branches from it. He probably would live much longer if he didn't damaged his eyes, and so he became much less mobile (it's highly dangerous to became suddenly inactive at that age). My father told me that we have good genetics in the family, and if i quit smokin' and drinkin' i'll have a good chance for long life. Yeah, right. Only if i could take a good deep breath in this fuckin' city and to stay calm when some jerk tryies to run over me when i'm crossing the street. A pure nirvana, ain't it? But i have no right to complain. I can always choose to move out of the city and to live in the country. And i'm still not doin' that. So...
The same thing was with that woman. It's not the ganja that made her livin' that long. It was only one aspect of her life. Sometimes we all forget that if we let Cannabis, TV, video games, internet or whatever became the main thing in our lives, we're startin' to be an junkie.

Good story Tripco.
Your great grandfather (or grandfather?) sounds like a great man. I like hearing stories about how different people can live their lives, and be equally happy. Climbing trees at 90, wow! I still like climbing trees, but I'm only 24. Here's to me making it that far *cheers*

- I agree it has alot to do with where you live. Industrial areas are shit. But in the article it also talks about how her husband died when he was 50. I'm guessing he lived in the same village... but who knows? Maybe its not all about where you live...but something to do with your general lifestyle. Maybe just how you approach life. If you approach it from a hard-ass point of view...being tough all the time, then you'll die out faster. If you try to enjoy life and see it as a gift... then you'll get more of life because... its almost like the very act of enjoying it gives you more of it. The law of attraction.

This goes back to what I was discussing in my thread:

Is Pleasure the Secret to a Long Life
It seemed that this lady just let herself enjoy what she liked. She would drink palm wine. Smoke some ganja. Have a cigar.
Like the old French woman. Jeanne Calmont also smoked cigarettes, drank a couple things of port wine, and ate a ton of chocolate... so....
Maybe you'll live longer and be happier... by doing things that make you happy? I mean, I don't really see alot of people with this viewpoint. People look at smoke and say... UNHEALTHY BAD YOU WILL DIE.
But what about these old people? They smoke.
Maybe health is truly from a holistic perspective. If Jeanne Calmon enjoyed a smoke, then the lift in her mentality would also be beneficial to her spirit and body. Same with the Indian woman.
I mean, I know hereditary is important. And there are people who smoke cigarettes and die from lung cancer at age 50... So many there is more to it. Maybe its about moderation?
I seem to remember Jeanne Calmont only smoked a few cigarettes a day. I read that when I was researching her, but I can't be sure.
Maybe seeking pleasure, is one of the best things you can do for your health. But the secret is to do it with moderation. Any thoughts?
But it gets more confusing. I found something on the web stating that the world's oldest people are ALL smokers. And they didn't appear to be moderate smokers, at least not all of them. If tobacco is so bad for you then why did these people live so long? It just is so confusing...

more info on her
Here is a pic of her...smoking a ganja cigar (blunt i'm guessing)
Just amazing. Also there is some weird things. The articles posted here don't mention much of her tobacoo usage, but this does:
http://www.ibnlive.com/news/oldest-lady-in-orissa-is-fulla-life/26300-3.html
This article mentions NOTHING of ganja.
And here is a video of her:

Hey thanks fro the link Indicad ! How strange, yours is from Nov.16th, and here's one from Nov.19 claiming she's dead. Could it be possible that she died only a few days after this interview ???
Still, the first link I posted is from Dec. 4th (still alive). That's mystery we have here heheh...
I definitely agree with you Indicad. But rather than looking for pleasure (which can be highly energy consuming), I think it is rather to keep a positive mind all along life and especially when facing hard times, is crucial for good health and long life . Our body is able to clean out the shit we eat, breath or drink, but if we let stress and negative feelings to take over us, then our body create its own shit which makes this self-cleaning ability getting less effiscient.
If I remember Jeanne Calment used to smoke only one cigarette per day (filterless "Gauloise Brune", black tobacco, with much less chemicals than more common cigarettes) and with a glass of Cognac evening time.
Then of course the quality of life, no big stress, clean and simple food are important too.
I remember an old man I met in Northern Pakistan. I don't know his exact age, but far over 80. He smokes lots of cigs, of the strongest Pakistani brand. Ultra simple, seasonal food, living between 3000 and 3500 meters elevation depending on the season. I stayed at his house 10 days or so sharing his great life. He has a small field of food crop all surrounded by a wall made of big stones. Once, some goats coming back from higher pastures jumped in the field in order to eat some cereals, and doing so put down a part of the wall. We went together to fix them back and me went flabbergasted. Many stones were too heavy for me (40-50kg) and with my bad back there was no way I could do it alone. I thought we would lift the heaviests together, but no. I saw this oldman with his fingers all curved from arthrose grab the stones as if they were only 10kg ones, and put them back in place.
I told him "wow, you're very strong man chacha !". The old timer just smiled at me and with a large arm gesture he just shown me the mountains around. Didn't need anyword to understan. Good, quiet and healthy life overthere heheh.
Irie !
