The biggest potheads aren't who you'd guess
NYPost ^ | February 7, 2017 | Gabrielle Fonrouge

They are the city’s new pot-smoking professionals — ganja-puffing teachers...

...A Brooklyn teacher told The Post that it’s a good thing city education officials don’t randomly test school workers for the drug.

“If they did . . . they’d probably have to fire about 85 percent of their staff,” she said.

Today’s pot puffers say they’re no head cases...

Put the bong down and grow up! It is a selfish pursuit with no redeeming qualities... If you aren’t sick you shouldn’t be taking drugs!

Damn right! It's just a selfish pursuit of happiness and as Americans we should all be against that sort of thing. Way too much of that freedom stuff going around.

Put the bong down, get in line and do as Ash tells you to do. It's for your own good.

>>She gave her kids the cash and they would bring the pot home.

Yeah, there’s a bit more troubling with that behavior than firing up before jumping in the sack.

Any doubt the children within her “teaching” purview didn’t absorb her unlawful attitude in the process of getting all those awards?

>>it makes you healthier

Yep. Earning the reward response as nature intended provides the benefits of the associated physical activity. It’s not all that complicated.

But, OTOH, there’s Mr. Phelps - who figured out it could help him expand his limitations (which I still think is cheating).

Be interesting to see if related consequences arise for him down the road.

Bingo. Both indicate poor judgment, and the last people we need around children.

“My freshman year, we had a guy on the hall that smoked the worst smelling weed. We found the RA’s huddled outside his door, ready to bust in. We told them that the smell was his girlfriend’s “vaginal odor”. They got so grossed out, they left.”

That’s REALLY funny. I don’t care who you are lololololol

Glad I wasn’t drinking a beverage just then. :)

It’s my opinion, based on my life experience.
I’ve seen no good come from drug use, that includes
alcohol.
A stoned populace is easy to control.
Pot isn’t some noble libertarian battle cry for freedom and happiness. I don’t want people stoned when I need
to count on them like they do me.

My life experience, no good has come from recreational drug use.
It’s caused me a lot of personal anguish in my life because friends or loved ones fell victim to abuse. Seems it doesn’t take much to abuse it.
Alcohol or pot, it’s all bad mojo to me.
The worst thing is I can’t count on people who get messed up. Seemed when I needed to count on them most when a family emergency arrived, well you couldn’t.
Keep it away from me and mine. Let your own families down when they need to count on you the most.

Sure thing. I understand. Freedom ain't easy.

>>Seems it doesn’t take much to abuse it.

Moreso in a culture that self-medicates as a coping mechanism.

That’s where the alleged behavior of these teachers is especially troubling. Being stoned on the job indicates they’re not coping.

They’re failing to cope - and probably teaching their students to similarly fail.

Should both be legal, or neither?

If you want them on-call for you, compensate them don't shackle them.

I understand Ash’s point and I think you do to. You just don’t want to.

I have never been a pot smoker but, in my younger years, I lived in close proximity to many who were. It is not an innocent drug and being addicted to it is a bad choice. Addiction is a fine line some cross without realizing it. It is an escape.

“My life experience, no good has come from recreational drug use.”

I understand what you mean. Substance abuse of any kind, including prescription drugs, can warp personalities and damage lives, sometimes without the person even realizing it. Their changed self becomes their new reality. It is important to be cautious about mood and mind altering chemicals.

In the 70s I had teachers who smoked marijuana with the students.

” And this includes our homeschool group which is full of conservative Christians.”

Pot smoking, home schooling conservative Christians?
Hollywood will be RUNNING your way to film a new TV show!
