That is to say, normalization of something that is potentially dangerous is not OK to me. Of course we have to take some risks, people are irresponsible with cars as much as they are with drugs - I would say it's a calculated risk, but most people don't think about it and the odds are relatively low.
If possible can we move this discussion to the other thread? Since this thread is specifically about school & drugs so we have eventually created a duplicate discussion here that is offtopic.
I'll reply here if you post, but keeping things in one thread is more useful.
I'm going to make a new thread. I doubt anyone else has a new opinion on the school part. I know that I don't have anything else to say but about drugs in general I do.
Drugs: http://forum.toribash.com/showthread.php?p=7678993
If no one posts a different opinion of school and drugs this may be closed.

I wonder why that is.
Less strict than what?
Despite what Americans seem to think, colleges are not the police.
affirming the consequence -> appeal to irrelevant authority -> proof by assertion
Nice fallacy chain.

More like they don't really care what you do. So long as nothing stupid happens I seriously doubt they would give the smallest shit about what you snorted on campus.
