As someone who worked with the University Safety Office (albeit a few decades ago), I disagree.
Is weed allowed on campus (I honestly do not know).
It actually wasn't a dorm. It was in his on campus apartment at Nittany Apartments near Pollock. They're sort of 2 story townhouses. A warning easily could have been given, but perhaps it had been prior and this is the result.
I thought I had read dorm, though I’m not sure it makes a difference. If you are dumb enough to do something illegal that forces the police to have to get involved, you deserve whatever the law says you can be charged with.
It is on-campus University Housing. (aka: Dorm)
Right. The kid smoked some weed that caused the alarm to go off that forced the police to go there. I have no issue with him getting cited for that.
A good friend of mine was friends with a roommate of a Syracuse fullback that later ended up winning Superbowls in the NFL. He said that he's never seen somebody smoke as much as that guy. Ever.
I’m calling BS on this. The football team has stayed in a hotel on Friday nights before a home game for at least 40 years. When was this?
I don't think that is true. Pretty sure you can't smoke anywhere on campus.
Smoking weed makes some people super dumb and silly (me) and some people razor sharp (moms). 11 is in my camp
There‘s a point where police need a search warrant. Let’s say the police smelled MJ. There’s no crime scene exception to the warrant requirement. Under those circumstances, the police need to secure the premises and get a warrant. They can do an initial warrantless search due to the emergency caused by the fire alarm, but it does not justify a prolonged search of everything. There could be problems here if the MJ wasn’t in plain view and they didn’t get a warrant. I’m from New York and user weight MJ is legal. This seems like it should be handled as a campus disciplinary matter for the fire alarm going off. The MJ charge should be dismissed if he stays out of trouble for 6 months to a year. I’m laughing that in 2023, a college student smoking MJ is news and is being handled in court.
I’m not saying you are wrong, but to play devil’s advocate here, did you ever question Joe when he said a disciplinary matter was handled internally? Most didn’t, that’s why I ask. Why is Franklin held to a different standard?
You never had a beer underage? Smoked a cigarette underage? Driven over the speed limit? Driven over the speed limit in a construction or school zone? Driven out the entrance to a parking lot the wrong way? I mean, the law is the law. Do you wish they would have thrown the book at you when you did? Maybe you are a culture problem?
THC intoxication has been shown to impair cognitive function on a number of levels—from basic motor coordination to more complex tasks, such as the ability to plan, organize, solve problems, make decisions, remember, and control emotions and behavior.
