Why should people expect things to be other than they demonstrably are? People need to deal with reality. I went to college with expectations that it would be "hallowed halls of learning". It turned out to be otherwise. I adapted by doing my studying where it was quiet and doing my sleeping with ear plugs.

If what you want is a peaceful place of learning, there are institutions of higher learning that fit that mold. They tend to be church-based schools with the kind of tight-ass regulations under which few would want to live.

People going to college should have to go out of thier way to study while loud obnoxious people should be allowed to continue being loud and obnoxious?
I should join a fundementalist christian school because I want a peaceful learning enviroment?

kinda like apartment living wouldnt you say? If you rent an apartment and know before hand you'll have people living above, below and/or beside you, you should be prepared to deal with any wall banging or floor stomping that may go on, as each individual has a right to live their life as they see fit.

What Im saying, if you go to college, you should expect kids to be kids (regardless of age) and be prepared to work with or around what makes them an individual.

No matter the drug (and yes, alcohol is a drug), if you are doing it on the campus and you get caught, then you must be punished.
Why? If you aren't hurting anyone else, why is it the university's business what its adult students do in their free time? It's should be neither the university's nor the governments concern.

Quote:
No excuses. By attending this institution, you agree to abide by its rules. The alcohol policy should be exactly the same as the university’s current marijuana policy.
From my reading, there has never been a time in history when young adult college students didn't spend a good chunk of their free time getting high on something.

Quote:
It’s not fair that you and your roommates have to deal with the secondhand sweet-and-sour fumes seeping into your dorm room.
Smokers should be considerate and not impose smoke or smells on others. As long as they do that, why ban marijuana?

Quote:
Nor is it fair for you to suffer from the raucous antics of drunk people in your hall.
Few students get busted merely for drinking. They get busted for behaving badly when they're drinking. Marijuana users, OTOH, get busted merely for smoking.

Quote:
I know I sound like a Nancy Reagan spokeswoman, but I urge you all to “Just say no.”
You certainly seem to be out-of-step with the majority of your generation.

Quote:
Nationally, all but two states, Vermont and New Hampshire, have accepted the Uniform Narcotic Act, which establishes a uniform anti-drug law throughout the state.
The Uniform Narcotic Act was an attempt to have all state drug laws match the federal drug laws. Obviously, a lot more than two states are doing very different things with marijuana than the feds would like.

Quote:
To date, only 11 states, including California, Arizona and Maine, have legalized marijuana use for medical reasons
Actually, it's 13 states: Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.

Quote:
Only those with a medical prescription from a doctor in those states are permitted to use, and in some cases grow, marijuana.
Only drugs listed in the US Pharmacopeia can be prescribed. Doctors issue recommendations for the use of medical marijuana.

Quote:
Maryland and Washington, D.C., are not currently part of the marijuana ratification process.
I can't figure out what this means. What's the "marijuana ratification process"?

Quote:
While some argue nabbing stoners is a waste of human resources (like our police force), and complete legalization of all drugs would solve a large problem in many societies, this must be looked at as a last resort.
How did we get from marijuana law reform to the legalization of all drugs? This is a "straw man" argument, attempting to confuse the very limited risk of marijuana legalization with the much more worrisome dangers of legalizing all drugs. The rest of this section requires no further comments because it's not relevant to the question of marijuana policy.

Quote:
Prince George’s County is now the third county in the state, along with Montgomery and Talbot, to ban smoking in restaurants and bars. This is a great start. Leniency in issues such as drugs cannot be afforded, and synchronizing all of the legal statutes on our own campus would be much appreciated.
"Wouldn't the world be a better place if everyone was as tight-assed as I am?"

Quote:
Unless you have been issued marijuana because it is vital to your health that you roll a blunt, you should not be smoking. Leave that to the Cheeches and Chongs, the Harolds and Kumars and the Bills and Teds of fantasy-movie fame.
Why don't you keep your government-sponsored prejudices to yourself? There really is room in this world for people who have lifestyles different from yours.

Quote:
And leave all of the wonderful oxygen in the world to D.A.R.E. graduates like myself.
D.A.R.E. graduates are just as likely to be illicit drug users than those who haven't been forced to waste their time in D.A.R.E. classes. In some locales, D.A.R.E. graduates show higher instances of illicit drug use. Apparently, even D.A.R.E. graduates are capable of thinking for themselves.
