Duaine, it sounds like you're in the Dukes of Hazard land. Our schools are very strict about saggy pants and stoned individuals, but the mind visual is pretty funny to think of! None of those are allowed, nor baseball hats...any hats. Girls can't wear tank tops or any revealing attire. They're usually all pretty good about it and don't whine....much.

Like, the High Schools ........... where the principal is more worried and being a disciplinarian over "saggy pants" than ...... marijuana ....... smoking in the bathrooms and various other hidden spots where the whole school reeks of the smell and students are "high" all day long. When I was in High School, we got - suspended - for smoking - cigarettes. According to my son, if they did that for marijuana smoking..... they would be suspending about HALF the school ! On the comical side, my son saw the funniest situation one day. He saw a couple of dudes fighting ....... one hand was holding up the pants while the other hand was throwing punches. What a sight to see ! Now - that's - something - to - be - concerned - about ! ! !
