can i get in trouble for this?

[Climbing High]

hi, i guess im a little late asking the question because i already wrote this paper, but can i get in trouble with my school for writing a biology paper in favor of the legalization of weed? i wrote a 9 page essay describing the governments lies, and the truth about how much cannabis could really benefit society. our assignment was to indapendantly research a topic of personal choice, and to write an opinion paper about it. i really hope i cant get suspended or something for thsi paper because i worked really hard on it. thanks guys, peace

Nah, you should be cool man...unless you're surrounded by mormons...

[XTC]

Well I dont know. It probably wasn't a good idea since know you're looked on as a threat. You might get some teachers or deans breaking your balls about it. You wont get suspended. But what will happen is that you will be put on a list of "suspected" drug abusers/sellers. So.. I dont know if cops come in your school every now and then and search the lockers with K9s. But your locker will be the first to have a K9 search it.

[OreO]

ya so pretty much dont take bud to school or anything like that

[DonnieDarko]

If your in high school, they'll have a conference with your parent(s) about your "problem". If you're in college, you'll get an A, and get to smoke with the prof.

[fatty lumps]

I hope this is a college/university paper; high school at least. The topic you chose to write about is a big issue right now across the nations, and since you said they gave you the choice of what to write on, I don't think there will be a problem.

[Climbing High]

yea, it is a highschool paper. if they try to search me at school im fine because i never carry at school, and i dont even use my locker. i wont care at all if they conference with my parents too because my parents know i smoke alot of marijuana, i've even offered it to them on several occasions and if my mom wasnt there my dad would have surely done it. basically i am going to be excercising my right of free speach, peace.

that's cool. well put, darko. And my friend actually does smoke with my Western Lit prof. He's in his mid fifties, and there's so much to learn from this guy

Yea, my mom asked me to buy some weed for her cuz shes a hippie art teacher but doesnt have any connections. I would've smoked up with her, but i think that would have been too weird. My dad was upset at first that i got it for her, but now he's chill cuz they enjoy smoking together every once in a while. ...its nice to have parents like that :)

[ezjim]

writing a paper promoting drug use could probably get you at least an ass chewing but writing a paper promoting DRUG LAW REFORM is not promoting drug use if they really go after you call the ACLU they live for first amendmt fights

[OzzyOz]

you have the right to free speech. It's chill man, as long as it's not like...

" last night i was smoking marijuana, and my bud was laced. If we made it legal, we could buy from official dealers in stores... and i wouldn't have been shaking because my weed was laced in PCP."

[Reefer Rogue]

Good shit bro, i would love to read ur paper if it's possible to post it on here. If not, keep us posted as to what happened and what grade you got.

[richieguy69]

That's crazy because just the other day I wrote a similar paper. Mine was somewhat like that, but we could only use facts, not just opinions. So basically, I turned it into a thesis by calling it an "Enlightenment on Legalization." You should be fine. My english teacher finally asked me if I "smoked the ganja" and shes real cool about it. If you have a dick for a teacher and he tries to get you into trouble by saying that it was inappropriate for high school, which is doubtful anyway. All you have to do is say that he offered any topic that interested you and this is a burning issue everywhere. Props for having the balls to do it too. Not many high school guys would.

[4thpower]

oh, it's a burning issue alright... :p

[mrdevious]

Man, am I ever glad I live in Canada. it just appauls me that American authorities (police/government/schools etc.) can prosucute people for having contradictory views to what the administration considered acceptable. I mean where the hell is democracy in that? Frankly I can't even comprehend how marijuana is illegal yet we sell tobacco, alchohol, and many far more potent prescription psychiatric drugs for people with anything from schizophrenics to kids labeled "ADD" for not meeting the societal norm.

[BUZz UK]

good luck with the paper, hope ya get an A ;)

[4thpower]

nobody gets arrested for having an opposing view. stop listening to the slanted media. I'm sure it's worse in Canada than it is here.

[narkotic]

nope.

[del...]

but how did you relate legalization of mj to biology?

[boycey58]

Nah, you should be cool man...unless you're surrounded by mormons...

basically, only worry if you live in Utah :D

[jimbones]

overgrow tha government

[jimbones]

:cool: overgrow tha government

AMEN!!!


Hey, man... props for speaking up. If anyone at the school gives you any problems, look at that as an opportunity to voice your opinion even louder. You are in the right! You are stating a valid opinion.

[Mello.as.Hello]

I'm reminded of the professor in "Animal House".. Donald sutherland saying "would anyone like to smoke some pot?".

God damn.

[spliffstar22]

I did the same thing, my teacher knew i smoked mad amounts of weed though. I joked about it with her all the time. She was mad cool, like 24-25 years old, and she was fuckin mint lol The assignment was to write a letter to the PM(Paul Martin lol) I wrote about fully legalizing marijuana, and selling it in stores lol And we actually sent it to the PM... They can't say shit, just because oyu wrote about it doesn't mean you do it, it may just be an issue that concerns you..

[Etrain]

Oh god, chillest teacher I ever had....Ms. Taylor. Way cool, loves the ganjah and I imagine has her times with the shrooms and cid. :cool:

[SmokeyPotter]

yeah, high school can be a bitch in regards to being able to exercise your rights... quite often your rights are compromised when you bring up controversial issues.

damn... that's why I love college. You can state your opinion on anything with pride as long as you have some decent arguments to back it up. I recently wrote a paper on "positive and negative influences in my life" ...my largest paragraph was devoted to explaining how pot has influenced me positively throughout my life... perfect score! BooYah!

Even if you do get some shit from your teacher or administration about your paper, just hold on, stay strong, and remember that once you're out of their oppressive grasp, you'll have the completely freedom to voice your opinion at a more open-minded institution... college :)

[Goodman3eb]

You've got 1st amendment rights , man, and props to you for exercising them. Naturally, they'll suspect you of being a stoner so you'll have to not carry at school.

Did the paper admit to using drugs? If so, probably not the best move, but hardly prosecutable; after all, you weren't under oath when writing the paper, so if they try to nail you for it, just pass it off as "creative rhetorical strategy".

Again, free exercise of rights is about all America has left going for it, so be sure to exercise your rights daily--especially the right to toke it up.

[Anonymous]

Would love to read the paper any way you can post it?

[Etrain]

Fuck, I'm addicted to these boards...god damnit.

[Climbing High]
