Chronicle Book Review: BONG HiTS 4 JESUS
In January 2002, as Olympic torchbearers making their way to the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City jogged through the streets of Juneau, Alaska, past the local high school, a troublemaking prankster of a high school student and some of his friends held up a 14-foot banner reading "BONG HiTS 4 JESUS." The school principal, Deborah Morse, rushed over to the students, tore down the banner, and subsequently suspended the prankster, Joseph Frederick. Little did anyone imagine at the time that the far-off brouhaha would roil the community for years and that the controversy would end up at the US Supreme Court. Oregon State University professor and student of judicial politics James Foster tells the tale of a case that has helped shape First Amendment jurisprudence in the exceptionally sticky milieu of student free speech rights and schools' rights to accomplish their educational missions. And while there is a plenty of fine-toothed examination of the high court's legal reasoning in Morse v. Frederick Foster sets up a story of conflicting narratives in a conflicted town in a conflicted time. Juneau, Alaska's capital city, is an isolated town in an isolated state, a liberal island of blue in a sea of red, a small town where the protagonists in local conflicts are likely to run into each other at the grocery store. That social and political context, and the hostilities it engendered, helped turn what began as a local imbroglio into a problem that could only be decided by the Supreme Court. If Joseph Frederick had been less of an authority-challenged troublemaker, or if Principal Morse had had a better administrative style, the whole affair could have been handled as little more than a tempest in a teapot. Foster excels at explaining why that wasn't to be and how a disciplinary interaction between an educator and a student ends up as constitutional question before the highest court in the land.One Bong Hit Drug Test - News
BONG HiTS 4 JESUS is not a book about drug policy, but it is one more demonstration of the way our totalizing, all-encompassing war on drugs has deleterious effects far beyond those of which one commonly thinks. Really? We're going to trash the First

Florida's New Drug Testing Policy Hits Taxpayers Hard - Toke of ...
I read in an article that Rick Scott's company will be doing the drug testing. But to avoid any controversy over making money, he stepped down from whatever position he was in (something high [LOL], I know) and gave the position to his wife.
If this wasn't so dangerous, it would be almost funny. These people use totally outdated facts to support their laws. If they would actually do some research they would find that drug testing makes absolutely no difference. Here is an article that I like about drug testing. http://www.cannabisconsumers.org/reports/drug_testing.php
What a complete waste anybody with half a brain can pass a drug test just stop by you're local head shop.Our quit for a while because you know they are going to drug test you.I have been smoking since i was 13 i am now 36 and have taken numerous drug test and have always passed and i am a heavy smoker. So anybody can pass one with a little knowledge.What a waste.
What really is hypocritical is that hardly any of the government workers, especially unionized workers are NOT subject to drug tests, that makes sense! If you can't beat em, join em, and fuck em up from within"
Looks like someone has a legal amphetamine problem...cough..cough rick scott. In all seriousness though, mandatory drug testing is one of the most unconstitutional oversteps gov has taken in the last few decades. Everywhere from schools, to the workplace, now just for receiving benefits from the gov that recipients technically paid into with their tax dollars? By the way, all this is done with a certain religious overtone, and some scary shit is going on today with politics and right wing christian influences. Lets hope people pull their heads out of their asses before we end up with a theocracy that demonizes homosexuality, drug use, consentual sex, etc. While promoting religious jihad against Muslims, etc.
Yes.
Let's give the already broke and probably mostly criminal people in society even more incentive to commit crimes. Before this law they were stealing to buy drugs, now they will steal to buy drugs AND food. Smart move Florida. This will cause an increase in crime for sure, and why? To continue the hype and reefer madness. Thats what this is aimed at I'm sure, potheads. I'd rather be a pothead than a heroin addict or a smelly drunk. When will it end?
