[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.

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.

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.

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!

[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.

[MrCoffee]

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...

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.
