This is 100% on the RA. What part of 'mind you're own business - these ain't high school kids' - does he not understand?

Notice that we had a similar situation a year ago, also when an RA called the cops because his little nose was offended by the smell of the evil weed. If it was the same RA, I think he's the one who needs internal discipline...not the players who are and will continue to do the same things that 75% of other college students are doing (and that most of them will do in the NFL if they get there).

This nonsense about cannabis needed to end a long time ago... 65% of Americans now support legalization. A fair share of the 35% who don't will be dead in a decade...

I'm not saying I have an issue with weed, because I really don't...just playing Devil's advocate. But are we really calling the RA out for doing what he/she is supposed to do? If and when they detect something going on in the dorm that is illegal (whether it should or shouldn't be is not the issue), do we really just want them to turn a blind eye? If they do that for the athletes, but nobody else, are we okay with that double standard? You can't smoke in or around these buildings, period.....cigarettes, cigars, blunts, whatever. If the RA smells someone lighting up his corn cob pipe in the dorm, he has an obligation to address it. That's his job.

Are we just going to give EH a pass on this and his culpability in the situation because we don't personally think weed is a big deal? It's not like these kids don't get this stuff preached at them for hours even before they ever get here. They know the rules, they know what happens if they break them. I can't help but think this is 100% on EH for making a poor decision.
