smoke weed first time woot

[MrCoffee]

WOOT guys WOOT.

last night i smoke some dope and it was rad. NO HANGOVER im so excited! I can't remember much but yeah it was rad

[Professor S]

Do yourself a favor and keep it at one time.

[MrCoffee]

whys that?

[Professor S]

1) You can get arrested. Trust me, there is a lot to lose.

2) It muddies the synapses in your brain, causing a proven loss of memory and intelligence. When I smoked I had a GPA of 3.01. Once I quit my GPA went to a 3.98 in grad school and I didn't work half as hard for it.

3) It causes you to like really horrible music, like the Grateful Dead and Phish, and eat Funyuns (they just aren't healthy)

Yea a lot of my friends smoke weed regularly and they are extremely lazy people and poor students.

Thats not to say they are bad people, they are good friends of mine and I hang out with them all the time.

[Angrist]

I don't understand people who smoke pot... they don't want to touch cigarettes, but they think weed is ok.

[Professor S]

I used to chase each bowl I smoked with a cigarette to enhance the buzz. Then I'd drink myself into a coma.

College was fun. Stupid, but fun.

How did you pull a 3.98 in grad school?

I'm a genius, motherfucker!

Well, I was smart enough to use my powers of observation to determine each of my professor's personal bias' and attitudes, and then I simply mirrored them in my class discussions and papers. There is nothing a professor likes more than to have their ego validated by their student repeating their opinions back to them. It is far more important that your professors like you than it is that you actually excel at your studies. Especially when you're a graduate of the arts, and not the sciences.

That and I'm a fucking genius.

[Bond]

I can't believe you're promoting that kind of unethical behavior as an educator yourself.

[Teuthida]

Smoking weed is part of growing up. Just remember that the state of radness is proportional to one's risk of health decline.

It's Canada, it's BC, and more importantly it's the Lower Mainland. The cops here smoke joints in their cars on breaks. If you're not dealing, and don't have more than three ounces on you, with intent to sell, you won't get arrested. Walking down a street with a joint is nothing. Kids used to roll it in class when I was in school, and smoke it in the smoke-pit during school itself.

There is a simple solution to this.
Be prepared.
Stock up on Doritos, celery, bread for making toast, make sure you have ample peanut-butter, and a library of CD's on hand.

Didn't know he was Canadian. Still, it makes you stupid (meaning weed).

Peanut Butter? Are you trying to kill the kid? Eating PB high and you'll choke to death! Don't liten to him, MrCoffee!

I didn't know telling him not to do it was promoting it's use.

I simply refuse to patronize when talking to younger people about drugs. Not all drugs are equal in terms to detrimental effects. When adults and the media try and paint pot use as the same as cocoaine or heroine, the kids don't believe their claims and therefore don't trust anything they say when it comes to drugs. Also, admitting to past drug use doesn't invalidate an opinion to NOT do them. If anything, it gives the former user more experience and credibility in the subject.

If government agencies and parent groups would just be honest about each drug and have an real conversation about them, they would get much more respect from teenagers and more would listen to them.
