I personally don't have any more of an issue w/ pot than I do with tobacco. I think both are terrible if you are going to be an athlete. That said, doing it in school, or on school grounds makes you a moron and you deserve whatever punishment you get. People don't do it on school grounds b/c they don't know better. They do it for the thrill of the risk of being caught. Welp...

4 kids were busted on the steps of NCC 2 years ago smoking pot and were promptly kicked out of school for the rest of the school year as well as the following year. One has re-enrolled at NCC this year; the rest go to other high schools in the area now. Lesson learned, I hope!

I think the fact that they were caught on a "Trail Cam" left in the press box and not live is why they may have been suspended and not expelled. They aren't sure what exactly they had...boys say one thing and school says something else, but can't be 100% sure based on "Trail Cam" photos.

I find it quite humorous that smoking "wacky backy" in high school is getting so much attention.

Yeah, what Mex said.

What about at a school function that is off campus?

We definitely didn't run together. I know quite a few people that smoked but none were dumb enough to do it IN school.

 

It's almost like you're justifying it. I sincerely hope not.

 

I am absolutely not justifying it what so ever. I am simply not going to judge CHILDREN for a mistake they made. Kids that I know nothing about besides this one instance. I am not saying it is right at all. But people mess up. Learn from it and move on.

You can't promise something that you know absolutely nothing about.

 

I can't? Hmm. Alright sir.

I am not condoning the behavior. I simply think that this behavior shouldnt be treated any different than a kid getting caught dipping, smoking tobacco, misbehaving in class, having bad grades, getting caught drinking, etc. etc. You're all freaking out over something that is a lot more common these days.

It's sad that the parents haven't already put their children in their places real quick. I know my dad would have. Not playing sports would have been the least of my worries.

 

 

I agree with OlDog75. Ban them for the year.

 

That's a little extreme.

That's a little extreme.

If they were just smoking cigars I agree, but if it was more than just cigars or cigs I disagree.

I don't know that they haven't, the attorney may have been consulted by one of the parents I was told. I have no idea how the others are treating this.

Same thing. Anything where you represent your school, you are under school's disciplinary guidelines.

Only illegal if below a certain age.

 

Not illegal at all.

 

Pot is illegal at all times in the state of KY.

Ummmm...you are kidding, right?:idunno:
