used to go to school stoned once in a while but my wife did all the time

Kitsilano is my old high school!


/used to go stoned very often
/A student

I used to get blazed every day at lunchtime. I turned out okay. I didn't actually make it back to university until 25, but things seem to be going well now. Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I doubt it.

I'd have finished reading that article, but I was too stoned to pay attention

/not really

Since when has 1-2% become "significant"?

...wait, what? Slow down, dude.

"School-Age Children and Youth Substance Abuse Prevention" = SACYSAP, not SACY

I hate acronyms that only use part of the phrase.

It's all that LEGAL MARIJUANA Canada has, eh?

/Yeah, right.

Many of BC's schools act they are penal colonys..So if some kid comes to school drunk? Suspension..When law states the cops must be called for unlawfull alcohol consumption..

/Sorry to kill the buzz, but....
//Schools are not prisons and must follow the laws and support kids rights..

Do you maybe have a link that might allow me to view the information online?

Humans multiply, therefore the logical deduction is that:
more Humans made up of
more Stupid Humans+
more Stoned Humans+
highly accessible media and highly publicized stories
=
Higher incidence of reporting the same unchanging percentage of people that - use chemicals to alter their mood or behaviour.

"It could be that any large high school of say 1,000 or 1,200 kids could easily have anywhere from 15 to 20 kids that would have shown up for part of the day under the influence."

Where I live, its more like 15-20 kids that aren't stoned!

I smoked rolled up paper lunch bags in the can in junior high and my teacher never knew. but I sure did

Wait a second... what school DOESN'T have a problem with people coming in stoned?

Wow, only 1.5-2 per hundred or so? That seems insanely low.

/obligatory

I went to school in BC and at least 3 people out of any class of 30 were stoned. And I went to the good school, I have no idea what it was like at the bad school.

Seriously, where is the obvious tag when you need it?

1,000 students is large? I think not.

That .5 kid didn't inhale?

Who cares? High school is just babysitting the rugrats until they're old enough to figure out how to be productive anyways.

Socially, high school prepares one to realize that people are cliquish and shallow in nature. The math and science are good introductory if one is interested enough in the subject to pursue it, but to the other 95% completely useless.

If High School Economics taught to balance a checkbook and how credit cards work it would be more useful to the student body then Adam Smith and the invisible hand theoretical BS that everybody ends up forgetting anyways.

I understand college academia learning gets away with more since it's voluntary and agree it earns the idea of 'learning for learnings sake' but if we're going to have mandatory K->12 school attendance for kids lets make what we teach more practical in real life.

1.5-2%? That's not a problem. Hell, the high school I went to had a +50% dropout rate, and an 18% college rate. People coming to school stoned (like me) were at least going to school. That's better than the other half of students.

In my high school 80% of the teachers were stoned.

Pssh... Everyone knows its more fun to go to school on LSD. Pot is for lightweights.

/Just kidding
\\Maybe

In High School, I would get stoned most days on the way, and then again at lunch. Kinda went with the age I guess, but I got over it. Don't really get stoned much anymore.

Kids will be kids, most will prosper, go forth and multiply.

I my Highschool, they WAXED THE FLOORS WITH HASH.

/Yeah, right.

That .5 kid didn't inhale?

Midget.

A friend of mine described an occasion where 2 girls in her school popped eccys in class, Fk knows why ~ one went out of class in a daze the other got up and was walkin and talkin in the middle of class unable to shut up.

apparently the teachers had no idea wtf was going on, parents were called ... god knows what happened after but seeing as their only around 14 or 15 ..prolly not much

-_- sigh ~

obvious tag?

I also remember one time in High School (there are many, to follow), that a Coach saw me "smoking" behind the lunch room; he asked me to "come with him" to the office. He walked in front of me, as I shucked all evidence from my pockets and tossed it (weed, roaches, cigs etc). When we got there at the office, they searched me and all I had was some matches.

They got over it.

You're pretty much always going to have your stoner brigade in high schools. I just wonder if the results are going to be worth the effort. Objectively speaking, these kids (a small population) don't want to hear it.



Stopping young Johnny from toking up at school is not going to solve young Johnnies problems with Mr. Bender.

All the kids at my school smoked weed while at school, instead of before school. I remember one day walking down the hall and seeing a gaggle of seniors heading down the hall with a haze of blue smoke around them.

And the great thing is, the security we had at the school could be bought off with a few puffs on the joint, and no one would get in trouble.

Good times.

And you have to realize that pot is de-criminalized in Canada. So, it's not that kids are smoking pot that is the full problem, it is that they are doing it in school.

Jebus, I'm quoting the Breakfast Club. Has there not been a good character study of high school students since then? None quite as good that I can think of recently.

15-20?!

/cue Ha!Ha! graphic

Then there was the time I got a call during class, on the class phone; teacher said to me, they want you in "the office"

I actually had some weed with me, so I did a trip to the bathroom and wadded up the weed in some paper towels and dropped it behind the trash can.

When I got to the office, they said that the "dope dogs" had alerted on my car. We all went out there, and after much sniffing and searching, they found 4 seeds of marijuana in the back seat.

They decided it was not enough for a bust, and lectured me on cleaning my car before I came to school. I then went back to the bathroom and collected my stash, still rolled up in the paper towels behind the trash can.

I had this really funny post to make but I forgot it.

Question for BC farkers - How are the strip clubs / adult entertainment establishments in Vancouver? What are "the rules" for visiting them, and the smoking clubs??? We want to visit and do NOT want to be unprepared....

...And these children
that you spit on
as they try to change their worlds
are immune to your consultations.
They're quite aware
of what they're going through...

They're quite aware of what happens in their lives. Other people are not so much. Escapism is rarely a result of shiny happy livelihood. Rebellion is a good indication that there is more to know.

No smoking inside, only outside on the patio. Whether or not you can smoke pot on the patio depends on the staff, however, you can probably leave and come back later, if you are desperate for a toke.

Such a significant figure!

As far as "the rules" are concerned, no physcal contact with the dancers.

About the smoking clubs, the well known one that was in the news was shut down as far as I know. There may be others, however, I dont actually live in Vancouver, but across the water in Victoria, so I don't know where to find them.

Do they have any ridiculous "3 foot" rules or anything similar? It's hardly worth visiting a club with the same rules that we have down here.

PS - I just ASSUME it will be easy to score some bud up there as an obvious tourist...

Canadian stripclubs are pretty easy going. I mean, don't grope the girls, have some decency unless you want a 300-pound bouncer on your back, but if you want a lapdance you get a lapdance possibly with minor physical contact. Like anywhere on earth, the sleazier the place the looser the rules. But stripclubs are about the visual anyways, if you want to be paying a girl to grab at her why not just get a hooker?

NCg8r

whats a 3 foot rule? Never heard of that here in vancouver. unlike down there, strippers here actually strip, usually all they leave on is shoes/socks.

Back on topic, I never smoked pot in high school, and very few of my friends did. We went to "the good school"

You can get lapdances at most strip clubs in Van. (in fact in every one I've been to) There are a few smoking clubs but all that I have been to require that you bring your own (although it really is not hard to find in the area, you just won't get it from someone standing behind the counter).

There are no stupid 3 foot rules and after the show many will come sit down and chat with you (of course they just want to take you into the private room) but it is still kinda nice to have pretty girls constantly sitting down with you.

Just don't try grabbing the girls or insulting them and you won't get tossed on your ass. Oh yeah and bring lots of money because everything is really expensive.

if you want to be paying a girl to grab at her why not just get a hooker?

If we could afford Amsterdam, I wouldn't be asking these questions...

;)

Thanks for all the info!
