yeah so uuh im gonna stay away from peanut butter, and i wont be smoking it very much and yes the cops dont even take the weed if it is under 3 ounces, and if you have alcohol you poor it out and they leave...otherwise this isnt going to be a regular occurance...once in a while...

Re: smoke weed first time woot
 

Only if they're assholes, or if you can't sweet-talk your way out of it.
The time of season depends too, and where you are.

I'll break it down:

Spring: Moderate crackdown
Summer: Extreme crackdown
Fall: Moderate crackdown
Late Fall: Slim crackdown
Winter: They'll just talk to you

Now the locations:

Private property: Run
On a street: walk calmly
School or park: walk the opposite direction of them not panicking.

Thusly, with my experience in booze, the best drinking occurs in the Winter (yet not near New Year's) or the late autumn, and is usally the best when the troupe is mobile, and not planted for too long. Hence taking to the streets. Planting your feet makes you louder, and lets the cops get there faster.

Plus it depends on how many of you there are, and if you party with a native kid. If the native kid has a sense of humour, put it all on him, and the cops won't know what to do, in fear of offending him. It's quite fun.

I think Bond meant promoting the cheap way of making exams/reports etc.

Re: smoke weed first time woot
 

Hardly cheap. Just smart. In today's college campuses you have two choices:

1) Voice your own opinion, defend it well, and still get average grades for "daring" to challenge the great all-powerful professor's world view

or

2) Be his parrot, work half as hard, and get all A's

If I thought I could get the same grades challenging the opinion of the professor, I would do just that. Having 7 years of undergrad and graduate work under my belt, you can be assure you will RARELY be rewarded for displaying an open mind.

When everybody in our class had to give a presentation on evolution, I showed the other side of the story, where the evolution-theory was incorrect and illogical. I got a 7, which was decent, most people had a 6.

Re: smoke weed first time woot
 

You know, I find this to be very true and it's probably one of the more frustrating things about education. My 9th grade history teacher was the biggest prick, and if you didn't totally follow his ideas and basically give him a handjob, he would give you a bad grade. I failed my mid-term exam because I basically went head on against him, and whether my ideas were good or not, he failed me, and it was ridiculous. Then for the final exam I played into his game and I got an A on the final. When he hands back the paper he gives this asshole grin, like he knew exactly what he was doing...So annoying...

Luckily I go/went to a more liberal college where I believe this happens less, though I'm sure it still happens. I don't know, I just think I don't really learn much if I'm just jerking off my professor, but yeah, I guess you have to give it up for the grades.

Re: smoke weed first time woot
 

Well I'm glad you had a teacher who gave you a good grade on a project where you expressed yourself, but a single anecdote doesn't disprove anything I've said, if that was what you were trying to accomplish.

Re: smoke weed first time woot
 

Germ, I hate to say this, but it was the liberal professors I had to jerk off the most. I had one that was an open communist, and I had the gall to argue against socialism in one paper, and he gave me nothing but praise in his comments but I still only got a C+. I learned my lesson and got nothing but A's from him then on out.

You can "fight the power" all you want, but in a scholoastic environment you may as well be headbutting a brick wall. Argue with your professor, accomplish nothing, cause yourself grief, and you get nothing but grades far below what you deserve.

Tickle his balls a little, make your life easy, get great grades, and then cash them in for a career you enjoy.

Easy decision.

Re: smoke weed first time woot
 

It wasn't. :)

I guess it depends a lot on the teacher. I'm (still) doing my bachelor thesis at the moment, my supervisor doesn't give me much freedom to come up with something myself, so I'm mostly doing what he likes to see. And a bit more.

Re: smoke weed first time woot
 

I don't necessarily mean that the professors are liberal, but the school and curriculum are. For example, we actually don't receive letter grades unless we ask for them. You receive written evaluations from the professors instead. This at least helps the grade mongering a bit. Some say it hurts if and when you apply to graduate school, but the grades can be reexamined and managed. Anyway, not having that letter grade either lets you slack off more, or maybe makes you just concentrate on the work and not that letter or GPA...I don't know, it works okay for me.

Re: smoke weed first time woot
 

No letter grades? What is this, Kindergarten?

Re: smoke weed first time woot
 

When his future employer asks him for his college GPA, he can answer "3 gold stars"

Re: smoke weed first time woot
 

More or less! Kindergarten for 18-22 year olds. We've got some good almuni though. Mostly actors and writers, but some good scientists and such too.

I really just got to give it up for that comment...

Though would make your resume stand out...
