Student Arrested For Smoking Pot During A Class Presentation via q13fox.com
I know how important it is to win this stupid war, but please don’t do this. Sparking one up at a high school while you extol the virtues of the noble weed isn’t the best way to press your point and it’s very hard to work for legalization at juvie. Not to mention all the other road blocks that a simple possession charge will put in your way.
Pierce County deputies say the 17 year old Peninsula High School student pulled out a joint of marijuana and lit it during his essay.
The student then smoked it and swallowed the rest of the joint.
Pierce County sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer says there were about 150 students and teachers in the auditorium Tuesday morning. All of them witnessed the end-of-the-year essays that were presented to the class.
Immediately after the presentation, the student was taken to the principal’s office where he was disciplined.
Deputies were called to the school. They found remnants of pot in the student’s possession.
The 17 year old was quickly arrested and taken to juvenile hall on suspicion of possession of marijuana.
While I was contemplating this story, I noticed that there was an armed robbery of a Walmart which resulted in the death of an armed guard. The police are still searching for the violent murderers, but they knew just where to find a 17 year old student with a 3.7 GPA who felt that smoking weed shouldn’t be a crime.
This is your community being put further at risk for an unwinnable war against a plant and the Americans who use it. Any Questions?

i was just arrested thursday after i got pulled over for driving without my headlights on for a couple hundred feet. the officer said he smelled pot and did a search were he found NOTHING. then they proceeded to arrest me for a charge called drug abuse and had 4 different cop cars come to the scene. i was put in hand cuffs and taken to the station were they gave me a court date. they towed my car for $250. im pissed off if they found nothing in my car and they still arrested me isnt that illegal on the polices part? i could fight tht in court right?
It is indeed a crime, Doreal. I remember reading one story where some dudes walked into a police station wreaking like pot. They were arrested for suspicion.
It’s basically a ‘do you have money’ law. If you can afford a competent lawyer, you’ll get off. But in this case, I think they’ll try to stick it to him a later harder.
Coolest presentation award undoubtedly. I think the only way to one up this would be to bring in a mature, full grown plant. And promptly conduct a presentation on proper trimming techniques.
Probably not the best image for adult legalization but got to hand it to the kid for taking the coolest highschool presentation award.
I agree.
- This type of behavior is
not going to gain any points
for the legalization of marijuana movement.
- Even if it were as legal as
tobacco and alcohol…
- Would it be legal for a 17 year old,
in a no-smoking area?
(Indoor school-auditorium).
awesome
I give credit to the kid for taking a stand and for his civil disobedience. He certainly gave his teachers and fellow students a surprise ending to his essay that could not have been expected. However, this type of behavior is not going to gain any points for the legalization of marijuana movement. Unfortunately, it only strengthens the beliefs of those for the war on drugs who think criminal charges and immediate expulsion are called for in this case.
“The 17 year old was quickly arrested and taken to juvenile hall on suspicion of possession of marijuana. ”
Arrested for “suspicion of posseesion”? Really, this is possible ?
Or is this only possible because he is not considered an adult(18+) ? Does anyone know ?
