I like the sound of this.
why does this have to all be about smoking weed? i honestly hate smelling my neighbors smoking up and have called public safety myself. if you dont wanna be harrassed, maybe you should stop doing things to call attention to yourself like this. just a thought. i do support learning your rights when it comes to police encounters (public safety or out in cities/towns), but i feel like this drug stuff is kinda overboard. i dont support sessions on how to get out of trouble for doing drugs... just don't do them here!
the school encourages students to resolve problems among ourselves before going to an R.A. or public safety. personally i'm shocked to learn that students actually call public safety on other students without talking to the offenders themselves. (at least, you don't mention doing that in your post).
if i could smell one of my neighbors smoking weed or cigarrettes and it was irritating me, i would walk over and ask them if they could do it somewhere else before i called public safety. i think it makes it a better situation for everyone - and prepares you for the real world where the cops have bigger things to worry about and address than responding to calls about marijuana odor in an apartment. i've done this a few times when people were playing music too loud and generally people are very responsive and even apologetic.
i'm glad you support the general idea of the event and i hope to see you there!

Who said it was all about smoking weed?
Even if the session does adress marijuana, it won't be about "how to get out of trouble for doing drugs." It'll be about whether or not P-Safe has a right to search your room, drugs present or not.
*lights a bowl*
the workshop is NOT solely about smoking weed. you should come and check it out.
furthermore, what is it about your neighbors smoking pot that bothers you? is it really that disruptive for you? 'cause i mean, i know how those crazy stoners get violent and disruptive, listening to music and eating that space food. i find it a bit repulsive that you'd get your fellow students in trouble for that. if your problem is that doing drugs is illegal... well, personally i'm of the opinion that the law isn't always just (do you really think marijuana is illegal because it's a threat to us and that the law is trying to protect us?), and also that we should ALL be kinder and more loyal to one another as students and young people than to public safety officers, unreasonably oppressive authority figures, who rarely actually protect or serve us.
now, of course if you're going to choose to do drugs, you should be discreet about it. sure. but i know that, at least at THIS school, public safety has unfairly entered into the rooms of my friends and harrassed them as well as acted on their own stereotypes and prejudices. in fact, my friends were recently accused of smoking in their room (they hadn't been, honestly), and when they wouldn't confess, public safety started using personal guilt-tripping ("I'm ashamed of you. You're disrespecting me by lying to me") and stereotyping ("sure LOOKS like you smoke pot from THAT screen saver..."). I'm not a child, and I don't need to be treated like one by them.
i'm just saying. you should come to the event so that you can better protect yourself against ALL unfair encounters with law enforcement. you deserve to know your rights.
