Exactly!

Ancient Greek Phly is excruciatingly hard while sober-->I've been doing it for 3 yrs....I can't even imagine trying to do it high haha, but like I said, he delivered a great lecture yesterday........but the prof has smoked so much by now he probably doesn't get too stoned....awesome nonetheless

Originally posted by MarkT agreed. I'm rather surprised that it's condoned by the university, assuming it's legal in the first place (to smoke pot on school property, while working...he has the necessary papers allowing him to smoke pot, but while at work and on work property?). It drives me insane when people refuse to acknowledge, or simply can't comprehend, the difference between pot smoke and cigarette smoke. criticize him being allowed to blaze while at work..but don't compare it to cigarette smokers being forced to smoke outside, as those are two very separate issues.

so im forced to breathe marijuana smoke but not tobacco smoke?

u cant have one without the other. One of the major reasons people supported the tobacco law was because it made them "smell bad". Id say pot is 100X worse in that department

haha, and after the conservatives cut the government research into medical uses for pot.

I think in all these universities...most of the writing and literature professors are all stoners....I always notice smiles on their faces all the time, they look way too chill to be interested anything but their poetry, they eat a lot and are generally fat...

oh and 10 joints???? lol...wow

I U of T!

1. the prof is allowed to blaze in his ventilated office...not anywhere he wants on campus, correct? so whose marijuana smoke are you being forced to breathe, given that you're neither in his class nor would you be forced to be in his office while he smoked if you were in a class of his.

2. the number of people who are legally permitted to smoke pot, for what is deemed a legitimate medical purpose, is exponentially smaller than the number of cigarette smokers out there...and they also are not permitted to do it wherever they want, correct?

I think you'll be fine Jay...no one is making you hang out in his office...and there aren't hundreds of thousands of medical marijuana smokers out there lighting up all over the place and harming you.

I think you can understand reasonable exceptions to general rules...or are you interested in trading in your good health for MS, HIV, cancer or any of the other illnesses for which these permits are granted?

It relieves pain from MS...it provides HIV patients with an appetite that their drug therapy takes away...etc. Exactly what tangible health benefit is cigarette smoking providing it's user other than "I want to smoke a cigarette"?

I think your arguments here are completely without merit.

I also think the main and valid concern here may be that he's possibly permitted to lead a class while stoned. I'd hope that the university has audited his class to ensure that students are receiving the education for which they've paid (and that taxpayers have subsidized), assuming anyone has even questioned his ability to do so in the first place.

buddy of mine is an english/philosophy major

all he does is smoke up, read books, and play xbox
with an occasional essay thrown in. For shit like that you gota use your imagination and weed helps/doesn't harm hehe.
