Hi. Weed is 100% legal in AK from what I have read.
I want to move to AK because I currently am persecuted for growing/smoking the erb.
I can grow and blaze in AK legally.
Only problem is I am a high school teacher and I know that high school did expel that kid over the "bong hits 4 jesus" banner.
Do they drug test teachers in AK?
Are there any job openings/ any need for teachers?
Will anyone bitch if somehow anyone accidentally found out I grew/smoke? I mean it is legal right...
There's a huge need for teachers in Alaska. But as with any state, it's the sentiment of the parents and school committee you really need to worry about. I would advise utmost discretion when considering how to approach the issue of smoking/job interactions.
Weed is not in fact 100% legal in Alaska. It is decriminalized for modest amounts and plant counts of 10 or fewer. The state does not make an issue of prosecuting personal-use level growers. Even in AK, growers are quiet about their habits. But it is indeed a safer climate in which to cultivate and smoke.
thanks Stinky!
Anyone else know about a drug test for teachers?
I am so excited AK does indeed need teachers. I was so afraid I would move there and be unemployed and homeless in the snow
Peace
As with all moves, you should line up a few interviews BEFORE you even move. Check the state job posting BB's. I think it's folly to move before getting a job, ANYWHERE, and Alaska is a VERY expensive move and the cost of living is a bit steep so it's even more important to have all your ducks in a row before taking that plunge.
well if you want to move to alaska i suggest moving to wasilla its a great town and almost everybody smokes and they have a great high school and im pretty sure they dont drug test teachers because alot of teachers i know smoke alot of pot
And not to far out of fairbanks, which is also in need of teachers!!! hehe :hippy:
Well I smoked with a few substitutes throughout highschool, and a security guard, so I'm gonna say if they do drug test, it's probably only an intitial test.
And yes it's decriminalized, but there are still LEO's who will go out and take your herb and write up 100-300$ paraphenelia tickets.
move up, there is a need for just about everything, teachers included. espescially cool ones freindly with mary. i sure hope my kids teachers roast one at the end of the day, well the ones that dont i can tell, and they just arent as good, im sorry but its true. i wish i was a art teacher or libraran, thatd be cool .
wow
naw man
my sister just became a teacher and they DO NOT drug test teachers
ive been trying to get to alaska for years is there a good newspaper you guys could recomend me for house/apt listings thanks alot in advance
Good luck with your move to Alaska.
I agree with stinky.. You should definitely see whats crackalackin' there and get a few interviews lined up before you move... That's the smartest thing you can do. :thumbsup:
Here are a couple links I found for you, the first is to the City of Fairbanks' website, which might help you somehow, and the second link is to the Fairbanks News-Miner, which is the city's newspaper.
Check the classifieds! :D

Also, try Alaska News, Jobs and Advertising from the Anchorage Daily News | Anchorage, Mat-Su Valley, Kenai Peninsula that's the anchorage paper.
if alaska was a part of the mainland id live there for sure, it cant be much colder than minnesota, but its way too far away
Alaska is part of the mainland, just not the contiguous USA! ;)
(I live on Kodiak Island, which is not part of the mainland, which is why your post struck me as a bit amusing. :))
weed is not legal in alaska you just dont do any time unless you have a half pound then its a felony. prob still wont do time if its your first one. they do not drug test teachers my dad's been one for 25 years. look on craigslist for apartments or in the local newspaper of the place you want to move to.
