Okay, time for the comment from the high school student. Now of course, I hear about "deals" that are going down (I saw one happen in my math class), I smell the cigarette smoke from morons who hopelessly try to smoke in the bathroom stalls, and I hear people talk about how they got s**tfaced at a party and nearly got laid.
I'll start off with my own personal thoughts. I have not, and will not smoke pot or do any other illegal substance. Never done tobacco, and the only alchohol I ever had was champaigne, which was nasty. I don't see a point in it, and would not do it becuase I would be setting a bad example to my cadets at Civil Air Patrol. Also, it smells. I think the rest of my thoughts are like Jedi Master's on this.
Now, pot has led to some nasty stuff at school: Violence. Last year a kid was beaten by almost 10 people with lead pipes, over something to do with a "deal". And mind you, this isn't some gang ridden area.
Though for interest. We all know about second hand smoke and now third hand smoke. But is there second hand high or third hand high?
