Thats an interesting line of reasoning. Should they also deny aid to students who smoke tobacco?

By his reasoning - yes. This forum goes farther downhill everyday.

Depending on the state and how much pot you smoke, smokes (tobacco) are going to cost less than pot. Some of my friends were heavy pot smokers so they were spending a lot more than I was on ciggs, others only smoked once every month or two.
Smoking is wasteful as is getting pizza on Friday night (Ramon noodles are so much cheaper) and so on. I had fun in college and feel there is more to it than sitting in the library 24/7 because you are on government money.

It is harder to justify applying for government money after you just bought a brand new car, or have all designer clothes and 200 pounds of gold chains around your neck. Obviously I don't want the government tracking your purchases or auditing kids, but it is an interesting line of thought.
I like to avoid all these complications and just have the feds stop handing out money to everyone that asks. ;)

Last I checked, smoking isn't illegal, drugs are. They aren't breaking the law by smoking, but they are by buying and using drugs.
