new surprising research that seems to suggest parents may be using marijuana more than their kids. pot use among older americans

younger teens. remember, 18 to 25-year-olds are still the biggest users of marijuana but here's the surprise. it's the children of the '60s, '70s and '80s who are dramatically increasing their use of pop and they could be smoking more than teenagers in just a few years. here's nbc's tom cass tell low. >> reporter: pot has been at least a part of that i pop culture. >> hey, man, am i >> yeah. >> reporter: but get this, new research from the cdc suggests these days it's the parents who are getting high more than the kids. in 2014 only 7 1/2 % of 12 to 17-year-olds smoked pot regularly. that's down 10%. but 8% of 35 to 44-year-olds did and here's a shocker. regular pot use among 45 to 54- year-olds jumped 50%, among 55

455%. >> tastes like freedom. >> reporter: could not rory -- robert corey is a father of four and occasionally a legal pot smoker. >> if you want to sit back on your back porch and smoke a joint, it is like the same five friends cracking open a bottle of chardonnay. >> rte toking up. >> typical soccer moms, and lawyers and doctors coming in here. >> reporter: in colorado you have to be 21 to buy weed but many of the shoppers in this store are in their 40s and 50s and haven't spoked pot since high school or college. >> whereas before it was a hush, it was a whisper, people didn't want to use the word marijuana but now it's definitely mainstream and people are becoming more okay with it. >> and a lot of like parents smoke weed and like their kids know about it and everyone is cool with it.

gone mainstream, it just isn't as cool as it once was. >> i don't smoke pot and i really don't care for any drugs or anything that messes with the mind. >> personally being an athlete i don't think that's attractive, appealing. that's mostly why i don't spoke. >> nbc correspondent tom costello joins us from washington now with more on this report and, tom, this is a here in colorado. >> reporter: yeah, absolutely. and you know, there's still a lot of concern about the effects of pot on the adolescent brain and for that very reason, just like alcohol, many researchers insist it's not appropriate for teens, especially for young teens. >> and your report found that still the biggest users, not to say it's just older adults and grandparents is that 18 to 25- year-old group? >> yeah, and that's key. the biggest group, the biggest

but with older americans turning to medical marijuana around the country, not just colorado, that same generation that was at woodstock and the -- in the summer of '69, it seems that they are also kind of rekindling their relationship with weed. >> it is a bit of a surprise i think to many of us. and we know you are from colorado, you have got colorado connections. when you came here and looked at this, what was your perception of colorado and this whole marijuana thing here? >> reporter: you it really is for those of us who grew up in colorado and then i've been gone now for 20 years, although i -- it seems like i'm back all the time at least via the satellite connection with you, i think it's amazing how perspectives have changed in colorado, isn't it? how people have a different view of marijuana than they had 20 years ago or whenever you and i went to c.u. which was more than a few years ago and the thoughts on whether marijuana was appropriate or not and how that's changed over

striking. >> it really is, yes, we were just talking about c.u. boulder today so i'm glad you brought that up. it's going to be something to study long-term impact and why people are choosing marijuana and as you appointed out -- pointed out in this record, older people view it as they view it just like having a glass of wine or having a beer. >> reporter: yeah, and i'm not endorsing them. we are not endorsing the use of marijuana, right? state legislators are making that decision. but a lot of that there are not the same side effects as with overindulging in alcohol. >> yeah. all right. well, we thank you for that report. i think that's going to engage a lot of discussion and conversation, always good to see you, tom. >> reporter: my pleasure. take care. colorado springs is cracking down on cannabis clubs for social smoking. the gazette reports that nine consumption clubs received cease and desist letters.

public consumption. colorado springs banned sales of recreational marijuana in the city but still had clubs that operated on the basis of providing marijuana to their patrons for trade. the product was supplied in return for membership agreements, so, you know, or they say like they would reserve a pot plant for you and in return you could smoke for free in their club because you're legally allowed to smoke. they are not allowed to sell. they are skirting the law a little bit. >> we have sat yes. it is a ride sharing program but some say it may be the safest way to get around. >> yep. coming up next, one program in the metro area helping people

ah -- a new company is dallas is putting retired

the company was founded by a retired deputy chief. it allows users to schedule a ride in a bubble or close range area centered in dallas. users are picked up in a car that belongs to the company driven by one of 65 outduty retired police officers. kids need a ride to games or grandma must go to the store, they can do it with a retired police escort. >> you can follow your child or you can follow your parent as they go to their location, you will get a prompt when they get there, a prompt when back. >> once you have worn that badge, you don't ever put it up. it's like extinction, you know, make sure son, daughter, mother, father, whoever gets where they want to go and in a safe manner. >> sounds better that some of the other ride share drivers i've had around the denver area. it's a flat fee of $17 for adults, $15 for adults, 17 for kids, most people say it's

plans to expand outside of texas. >> brilliant. >> great idea. so many people know what it's like to struggle to get ahead. it seems like no matter how hard you work, you just can't get everything your family needs. what if there was help out there and that was the biggest gift you ever received? two moms who worked their way up from poverty did so. a program that helped save their sleeves helping them drive forward. here's is tarhonda thomas. >> reporter: so much paperwork. you would think they were signing their lives away but this is the pathway to a new ?? life. >> just go ahead and fill that out completely. >> reporter: all the signatures -- >> so andrea, you are getting the 2004 hyundai elantra. >> reporter: all the initials. >> that coweta, you are getting -- naquita you are getting a

place to be. they will be peaking through october 3rd and then as we get later into october, the peak moves into our southern mountains. right now temperaturewise, 60s and 70s for those mountains areas, denver is at 89, 90 in greeley and we've got 97 right now in ray, low 90s in most other eastern plains locations. here outside the 9news back yard, mostly cloudy skies, temperatures at 86, so it's really nice out here 86 even with the clouds, it feels gorgeous. we are expecting to see more pretty temperatures as we head into tomorrow too. the cool-off will be gradual getting into the weekend. today cloudy but look at that, not a drop of rain there on the radar screen except for southwest of colorado as we head into this afternoon and this evening, we are not under any risk for thunderstorms or even showers through most of the state. however, i am still watching

depression paine, paine at one point a hurricane and a tropical storm earlier today and now been downgraded. still has organization to it but what i want you to notice is this band of showers that moves off of paine into southern california out through parts of arizona, ute and almost -- utah and makes its way into southwest colorado. we are also getting clouds from that. that's where our clouds are coming from this afternoon and they will continue to feed into colorado over the next couple of days as paine continues to take a by friday, even bigger changes are headed this way. we have got a big system, we call it an upper level trough that is sitting just off the pacific northwest coast so it's that dip right there in the jet stream. right now sitting off the pacific northwest. it will be making its way onshore and by friday it pushes into colorado. what i really like about this map and why i show it to you is it makes it pretty clear, we

but it also depicts colors because north of that jet stream we typically see cooler air so that's what those colors are indicating and by friday cooler air is really going to start to make its way in and saturday you're going to feel it with highs in the 60s and the 70s. showers, our chance for rain will be increasing, most of the showers that we see tonight and into tomorrow will be in the mountains. some mountain areas may see a mixture of rain and snow, especially well above 10,000 feet but it mountains. 4:30 in the morning i wouldn't be surprised if you heard or if you're up that early you saw a couple of sprinkles here around the denver metro area, short lived, they diminish quickly, we will be left with mostly sunny skies for the remainder of the day. most of the showers tomorrow stay up across our central and southern mountains and those are isolated, just a threat for general thunderstorms across the state tomorrow afternoon. overnight lows tonight, temperaturewise in the middle

the 60s, so a warm night out east. mountain areas will see lows in the 30s and 40s, out across the western slope in grand junction, a low of 56. highs tomorrow climbing to just the low 80s, so a little bit cooler starting tomorrow. east you're still hot, eastern plains will be in the low 90s and mountain areas get up into the 60s tomorrow afternoon. winds tonight will be out of the southwest at five to 10 miles an hour, we will be mostly cloudy, showers stay in the mountains tomorrow, highs reach 82, we may see a sprinkle otherwise partly sunny skies through the remainder of the day, northwesterly winds will be at five to 10. as we get into the rest of the week, chances for rain increase by the way, friday also gets darn windy around here, 80 will be the high. then the front pushes through and we get cooler. we only get up to a high of 70 on saturday. i do have a chance for isolated showers in the forecast, upper 60s on sunday but the good news there is that it might be cool

really good weather for the race for the cure early in the morning. guys. >> yeah, that is. >> maybe sweater weather there early in the morning. >> it might be. the runners i think will be okay. >> they will be fine. they will get the blood pumping. good stuff. >> thank you, becky. >> thanks, becky. breast cancer doesn't discriminate. we know that. it affects everyone no matter your race and even gender. in colorado one in seven women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. >> and we say it all the time early detection is the dien do monthly self-breast exams and if you notice any changes, you should talk to your doctor. you doctor should testimony you when you should get a mammogram. your doctor may recommend other tests including one that doctors say is four times better than finding cancer than mammograms alone. >> for some women who have dense breast tissue, a mammogram might not be sufficient and there are other tests that can be done as well. mris are one of them. there's also a new test coming

breast imaging test, uses a special x-ray to detect any tumors in the breast and this is particularly important for women with dense breast tissue because sometimes that can hide a breast tumor. >> dr. john reiterating that early detection is just so important. this weekend thousands of survivors and supporters are raising awareness at race for the cure. the race is this sunday. here's what you need to know. the race starts and finishes at the pepsi center, the 5k starts at 8:00. you can find a link or register to donate on 9news.com. either way you can donate or run, whatever you want to do. following the race at 10:15 we will honor the breast cancer survivors participating in the race and we hope to see you all there. >> and as becky said, the weather should be really nice so couple times it's been a little too warm especially for a lot of people that participate that are in the middle of chemotherapy and it's too warm, can't control the temperatures --

when that 5k starts it will be perfect. this could be the future, a machine to detect all of your emotions. you need girls, i don't think you can get them all but just saying. >> and they say that the technology could be coming
