Ahh GammaZeta, always right on time with your philosophies.
I think that people need to wake up to their surroundings. If you dont think this type of thing is going on all across Americas' Campuses then you just arent aware of things. For one I know of PLENTY of greeks who use marijuana and cocaine on a semi regular basis, how is it that much different than alchohol (which btw accounts for more deaths than both coke and pot put together). Sure we have policies and such that say we can get in trouble for using any of the drugs described above, but i just dont understand how we as Americans can come up with a law that says its perfectly acceptable if you are a certain age to drink alcohol or smoke ciggarettes when both of those are responsible for so many deaths, but pot (an essentially harmless plant) is illegal.
What serious argument can you present about the 'bad' effects of pot. If it is being used for medicine, and could be a cheaper source of fuel (was used as an energy source in the late 1800s) and could help our economy drastically by providing BILLIONS of dollars of income that would remain in the US. I just dont get why its classified as a Schedule 1 drug, seems pretty stupid to me.
Anyway, Back to SDSU. I personally think it was better for the greek system to be selling the drugs, then say a gangsta ass hoodlum who would rather rob you at gun point then sell you some Blow. At least you can say some of the money was actually put to good use. It kept the chapter operating smoothly financially and it allowed them to put more resources into their philanthropies and community service (i guess its not so bad looking at it that way).
I guess now I look like a DRUG ADVOCATE......oops.
PS my entire response is purely for conversation and entertainment.
