[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son was a rare pot smoker in his senior year of high school.  I didn't say too much about it as he wasn't a drinker and had decent grades.  He received an academic as well as a good character scholarship(35K total/year) to his #1 choice college.  He has been so happy there, loves his roommates and courses etc.  Well, a few weeks ago he and 2 of his friends were idiots and got caught by the campus police smoking pot on the edge of the campus but still on university grounds.  They were all allowed to return to their dorms and I am not sure what is happening to other 2 kids but my son is losing his scholarships this week and we will find out if he will be allowed to remain at the college since he violated the school drug policy which he signed.  Without saying too much, this college is very liberal and my husband and I were not expecting such severe sanctions for a first-time offense.  I guess we're the idiots.  Just posting this cautionary tale in case you might b inclined to warn your own kids.[/quote]

Wow, that is sobering (only just realized it's a pun after I typed it). My DD stayed away from pot in high school because she had a job she loved that did random drug testing. She's now a freshman at a smallish school and has told me that many of her friends, including boyfriend, smoke pot, but she doesn't like it and doesn't use it. I don't know if I completely believe her or not, but it couldn't hurt to tell her PP's story as a cautionary tale. More than half her expenses are paid for by a scholarship from the school, and she would not be able to return without it.[/quote]
