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.

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]

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.

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

God damn.

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

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..

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.

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

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.
