Mr. Berta said the program is not meant to be punitive. Then he lists the punishments. Classic republican-Orwellian doublespeak. In no way will this bring trust between students and faculty. Civil rights are being eroded.

I would not be surprised if there are some financial benefits hidden between the drug testing company and the people who are pushing this nonsense.

This sounds like a reasonable sentence. Had this occurred in porter county the prosecutors would have ran up the charges.

"He said the proposal is not meant to punish students" then lists the punishments. Orwellian double speak.

When I was growing up 18 year olds could purchase alcohol. Now they need counseling? Leave people alone and mind your own business.

Enough of this nonsense. Regulate it, tax it, and be done with it.

Misty marijuana is nearly harmless if taken in tea form or eaten. The plant is truly is a gift from God! No one has ever overdosed and died. Please google medical marijuana.

As for driving under its influence, agreed there needs to legal limits in place just like alcohol.

Colorado and Washington state are leading the way.

Regulate and tax the sale of marijuana. Then all the criminality will be gone. There is a huge demand for marijuana. People love it!

Ron Paul got many people thinking in New ways. Perhaps his opinions influenced the new code.

Agree. It will be interesting how the details play out. Will non violent drug offenders still be incarcerated? Or will it merely be a reshuffling from state prisons to county prisons?
