That was the same with us. At lunch, we were allowed to leave property. They even had a smoke pit for the smokers, and we had bush covering the entire perimeter of the school, so sometimes we'd sneak out back and toke one. Hell, kids even used to drink in the parking lot on a Friday afternoon.

I wish I could remeber what part of the States this is happening. Boston area is coming to mind, but I'm not sure. All I know is that I saw it on the news last night, with the principal saying it's okay to random test, and the opposing side saying it was an invasion of privacy.

I have seen the same kind of posts every so often on this forum in Experiences, so it has begun at some schools.

They mentioned it was the Bush Administration conducting these tests to stop the War on Drugs.
