Smoke em if you got em

Student caps speech with pot smoke
By STACEY MULICK News Tribune

TACOMA, Wash. — The teachers wanted persuasive.

And they got it.

At the end of his speech Tuesday urging legalization of marijuana, a 17-year-old Peninsula High School student pulled out a joint, lit it and smoked away. Then he ate the remains.

For that he got a quick escort to the school office and then a ride to Remann Hall juvenile jail.

The stunt was celebrated among some of the teen’s peers but was frowned on to say the least by law enforcement officers and district administrators.

“We believe in freedom of speech and encourage it, but illegal activities are absolutely not going to be tolerated in our district,” schools Superintendent Terry Bouck said.

Pierce County sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer said, “If people want that law changed, they need to go about it the right way.”

If there was ever a time for a slow clap it had to be when that kid sparked that j. That's something you always see in these teenybopper rebellion films that kids would never have the balls to do. It's not like kids don't smoke weed in school. They just usually do it in the parking lot. At the end of the day I'm sure he just did it because he thought it would get him laid. Hey, its summer time!
