Safer than drinking to excess.


No, it's not.


Please explain. Dying of alcohol poisoning exists. It's impossible to die from cannabis.

Antidotally recently read something on DCs university parents facebook page about someone’s child having a roommate who smoked weed. The parent was upset because her child’s clothes reeked of weed and the kid wasn’t able to maintain his internship because the clothes smelled so much. It’s a real problem much more so today than in my day


My DD called campus police on her randomly assigned suitemates due to weed. They were covering the smoke detectors with plastic bags, too.

It’s prohibited on any campus that accepts federal funding.

So all of them except Hillsdale.

Probably less than when you were in college, to be honest. There’s more variety in entertainment these days.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Unless your DD is looking at BYU, weed will be a common theme at virtually any college these days. It’s like the entire higher education system has turned into Wesleyan.

It is much worse in the West.

Another great societal choice.

Do you think that will influence their education and driving?

Glad I won’t be around in 50 years.

You really have to ask if some students are using it daily?

DC says everyone, literally everyone smokes weed now. And that’s the bare minimum that they will try/do. Your kid will too, you just won’t know.

Serious question: are you Amish? Have you been on a campus in the last 50 years?

I have done a few tours with DD recently and was stunned by the prevalence of cannabis use, sometimes out in the open. How widely used is it these days? Are some students using it daily? I am a bit shocked.
