Teen Accepts Penalty for Marijuana Speech

[Bombadil]

Ian Barry says he wasn't trying to be a martyr when he lit a marijuana joint this week at Peninsula High School in Gig Harbor, nor was he trying to pull a stunt.

"He said he's going to take the SAT test today. His first college of choice: "California, probably Humboldt" State University, he said."

Just to let you know how different things are from not too long ago. Back in the 70's I was in high school and we could all smoke cig's in the bathrooms! Anywhere outside was ok as well. When you pulled up to the front of the high school in the morning, it looked like a small fire must be on the lawn.

As for weed, it was practically the same. It was unspoken and there was never any hassles. The 70's were a much more tolerant era than what we have today. We are going backwards.

where i am from... (last state to instate the 21 drinking age mind you), we were allowed to smoke at the schools (of age of course) as far back as 1999, 2000 was the end of the free puffing

It would be awesome to send him a joint.

This kid is so fucking smart. He knew he would be busted, he knew there would be some outrage, and he felt so strong that it brought more exposure to his view. He brought a national audiance to his debate. He should ace that class. LOL

What a cool kid. I would tell my son that I was very proud of him that he did it.
