Californian university in huge drug sweep

Does this University give a degree for drug abusers, just think that parents spend a great part of their savings so that their children can study to get a degree in drug abusing,

University life is nothing but a waste of time for some knuckleheads who just enjoy the easy life, while others foot their bill to have them get an education.

This is also the blame of the intolerance of the administrators that do not know what is going on in their own campus, or probably are under the fear of organized crime that has infiltrated its fertile grounds to peddle their vices upon the University students who are an easy prey.

75 lives ruined by irrational laws

I wonder if any of those arrested had medical marijuana licenses? That would make their possession of medical marijuana legal under California law. Apparently, if one is tried by the federal courts for marijuana possession the jury is not allowed to know that the prosecuted was within the bounds of their state law. This article also shows that our best and brightest use drugs revealing the curtain of hypocrisy most educated Americans (not including you educated neoliberal religious scum from that plague of ignorance called the Midwest) live with and recognize as truth. America’s drug enforcement polices are based on Christian values, if our laws could only be made rational we might actually accomplish the higher aims of these laws; i.e. creating a more safe society. Instead, prohibition, just as the mobsters of 1920-32 gained a huge capital recourse with alcohol’s illegalization, creates wealthy crime societies who deal drugs but also expand their well-funded enterprises into other turf such as prostitution. Just as with alcohol and tobacco, regulation of these substances combined with taxation would actually make society more safe. These artificial laws have no place in American tradition, and they create more crime and ruin more lives than they save. Christian moral values encourage the law to interfere with personal choice, but negative-liberty, i.e. freedom from oppression, is one of the founding traditions of our republic! Our law system needs to be divorced from Christian moral values and realigned with its enlightened rationalist traditions in negative liberty. A rationalist moral code would be something like this, that which is good for the community and the individual is good, that which good for the individual and bad the community is evil, and that which is bad for the individual but harmless the rest of society is the choice of the individual!

Drug Use Up 52% on College Campuses
This Week’s San Diego State U. Drug Bust Highlights Rise in University Cooperation with Law Enforcement

]
The arrest this week of 96 suspects on drug-related charges, including 75 students, after a six-month sting operation at San Diego State University is shining a fresh spotlight on the issue of growing substance abuse at America’s colleges and universities. The incident also highlights the growing sophistication of on-campus drug sellers and the need for university officials and police to broaden their response capabilities to meet the growing challenge.

“The drug problem on American campuses has become so extensive that more and more university police are finding they don’t have the manpower to fight it by themselves," says Joseph Califano, founding chairman of the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University (CASA). He says the stakes have risen in recent years with so many more hard drugs being used and sold. Local university police have noticed a big uptick in the numbers of related crimes, such as fights, robbery, property damage, and vandalism.

While the proportion of students who drink and binge has remained constant from 1993 to 2005, rates of daily marijuana use have more than doubled during that period, and use of other illegal drugs like cocaine and heroin have risen 52 percent, according to a CASA study. Just under half of full-time college students indulged in illegal drugs, the study found. Increasingly in recent years, and especially since the shootings at Virginia Tech last year, campus police at colleges and universities have forged better links with law enforcement.

Busted Student to Dad: 'Sorry I Screwed Up So Bad'
May 7, 2008 - Arrested San Diego Student Apologizes to His Family; They Tell Him It’s Too Late

]
“I’m sorry I screwed up so bad” were the shameful words of one of the arrested San Diego State University (SDSU) students to his stunned and saddened family. The father of the student, one of the 75 SDSU students arrested in yesterday’s Drug Enforcement Administration drug bust, said his son was an “excellent” student who made a very “stupid” mistake.

“What was he thinking?" asked the father, who did not want to be named for fear of bringing more shame to his family. “I told him 'sorry' isn’t going to do anything now," the father told ABCNews.com. “It’s too late." His son, who was charged with selling cocaine to an undercover agent on campus, will spend the night in jail because his family cannot afford to pay his $9,000 bail.

Authorities arrested 96 people for charges stemming from possession and sales of cocaine, marijuana, ecstasy and other drugs at SDSU. The mother of another student charged with possession of up to one ounce of cocaine and selling cocaine to an undercover agent on campus is worried about her son’s future. “Every time my boy goes to check a box, he might be denied a job for this. They took the future of my son away," she said. But she added, “He put himself in that position."
