Berkeley may have a reputation for cannabis tolerance, but that hasn't penetrated to the city's public education establishment. A few days ago, Cal NORML received a call from a Berkeley High School student asking for information. I told him the answers to his questions were all on our website. "I can't get to your website," he replied, "Our school's computers are blocked." Apparently, Berkeley HS administrators feel it is unfit to expose their students to information about marijuana reform.

The mind (unaided by psychoactives) reels. How to explain to your students that, yes, you totally smoke the dank all summer when you don't have to grade their retarded attempts at essays, but only because you have a prescription, and yes, it is censorship, but it's to protect you from the evils of drugs, which, of course, you can either purchase from your friend who's PhD. mother has a grow operation in their Berkeley Hills home or that crazy guy on 65th and Telegraph who keeps telling you that if you really want to get high, put some of these rocks in that blunt?
