        Guns aren’t too concerning by themselves, but I think we all know a few teachers from our school years that should never, ever own one.

          Yup we had one go nuts and dump out all our cubbies in 6th grade, because too many of us forgot to bring out work and she was convinced we hadn’t done it and left it in our bags.

          She retired at the end of that year.

          I had another in HS that threw a hammer at a kid (it was a vocational class), that annoyingly put me off a career in the trades. I wish now that I’d stuck with it. I much prefer working with my hands over temporarily organizing pixels.

            It’s never to late to start. We just had a guy who was 45, and worked in an office his entire career, join our apprenticeship. Being a union electrician is a great gig. Our pay is great and the benefits are awesome.

    well you can’t stop people from bringing joints by making it illegal; that way only the bad guys would bring joints. instead everyone should bring joints to school because the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a joint is a good guy with a joint.

    Leary said: “LSD is a psychedelic drug which occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people who have NOT taken it.”

    I think this applies just as much to something like the Devil’s lettuce.

      I can’t even imagine being a full-grown adult who doesn’t know what it feels like to have consciousness altered by drugs.

      It’s like meeting someone who was born in a car, and they’ve just never ever gotten out of that car.

      Like there’s a door in your wall marked “to alien universe” and you just walked by it for 40 years and never wanted to peek inside? What?

      You think weed causes psychotic behavior? I’ve seen lots of reactions from weed… But psychotic is not a word I would use to describe any of them… Someone on a bad hallucinogenic trip that they can’t handle can definitely enter into a psycho episode though (unfortunately I have seen that).

      Ok, how about we compromise and have teachers armed with joints to protect the kids from the drug dealers?

      The best defense against a bad guy with a joint is a good guy with a joint.

      The Florida government loves nothing more than a bunch of kids to get gunned down in a school shooting, as it means they can route that more money to police and less money to students.

      I’m okay with banning anything to ban guns. Or, at least threatening it.

      Maybe someone should try to pass a law with a ban on all contraceptives, abortion pills, and rainbow flags…… with a gun ban tacked onto it. See how much they really care.

    Nobody brings that much marinuanans to an elementary school and even if they did they aren’t giving that shit away free to the kids. Shit costs money.

    Whats great is that elementary school kids can share a joint among like two or three of them so it is really cost effective

    People can already bring 20 joints into a school if they want to. Has Ron looked at other states that have legalized it and observed schools bursting at the seems with pot?

    prevalent odor of cannabis that he says would result from the reform

    Oh no! Another smell to go along with car exhaust and low tide!

      It’s sad that we all just accept the fact most schools have classes of more than 20 kids… What a goddamn disaster education is in this country.

        Seems like a good math problem.

        “Alright class, we have 20 joints with an average of 30 puffs each. There are 35 students, one teacher, and 2 teachers aides. How many puffs does everyone get?”

        They’re full gram joints. I don’t think Little Timmy needs more than two puffs from one. Puff puf

        That all depends on how your body processes THC. For some people I know, two puffs is plenty. For others (Me, for example), two puffs ain’t gonna do shit.

          What you’re describing is tolerance. I don’t think most children have any tolerance to THC.

    I am confused. When I was in school, a third of the faculty smoked. I was surrounded by hundreds of cigarettes all day every day at school.

    What do they think is going to happen? The kids will get high by osmosis?
