Nearly 100 students at San Diego State arrested in drug bust

<p>It was their decision to get into that mess...how can people with such little common sense get into college in the first place...? All I can say is "sucks to be them"!</p>

<p>Intresting news since everyone one I know went to SDSU.</p>

<p>^I know, I'm in SD & like half our seniors end up at SDSU. And my parents went there.</p>

<p>I have been on SDSU's board for 2 years and had a total of like 5 threads.....finally somethign worth talkin about!</p>

<p>One thing to keep in mind...this isn't the DEA just caught 75 students selling drugs and the school is so blind to the issue...</p>

<p>President Weber has done a terrific job heading an investigation after Jenny passed away last year. Because of his work, he tipped the DEA and allowed this bust to happen. He is taking the steps necessary to clean up a school that really needs it.</p>

<p>Its sad that one year to the day that Jenny left us - we have to bring this back up, but i appreciate SDSU's adminstration for addressing the issue. two student deaths in 1 year is 2 too many for any school</p>

<p>The evening news reports the arrests were primarily of major dealers, engaged in running a MAJOR OPERATION. These were no recreational users.</p>

<p>Good! I hope they raid more often!</p>

<p>(Weekly would be great)</p>

<p>hahahaha. My mom wouldn't give me any head start. She would beat/kill me in front of the police so she doesn't have to make a second trip back to the station.</p>

<p>And it's good to see that such a large number of people were arrested. If it was 1 or 2, this would have been the hype for a week and people may have remembered it for a year but it would have faded into oblivion.</p>

<p>I actually sympathize with weed smokers and I believe that they should be able to try small amounts. However, large drug operations just disgust me, especially if they have illegal guns involved. They just bring one more piece of evidence that we need gun control, which disgusts me even more.</p>

<p>I'm sympathetic to weed-users or even the weed trade. Not that I've actually tried it, but gee, if I got into a horrific accident and I had to choose between morphine and weed for my choice of painkillers, guess which safer drug I would take ... </p>

<p>(If I were a girl and got pregnant and needed some painkillers...)<br>
(If I were diagnosed with cancer and needed something to ward away the side effects of chemo...) </p>

<p>I personally can't see why they don't bust everyone for smoking tobacco -- it's actually pretty easy to overdose on tobacco till the point where you can hallucinate. Oh wait, domestic commercial interests. I forgot.</p>

<p>Lots of money funnels right into the pockets of politicians in the tobacco industry.</p>

<p>This could have happened, and maybe is, at many, many schools.
To hijack the discussion, people in California, at least on these threads, tend to assume that the public college system in California is a fine one. Why is this? Do they have a basis of comparison? I get the impression that most Californians don't know anything else.</p>

Hmm, I doubt that these people who were very clearly breaking the law and dealing in illegal items would have been dissuaded from obtaining a gun just because there's a law against them having one.</p>

I think it's a pretty decent one with it's tiers of universities (UC and CalState systems) and community college feeder system along with some very highly ranked and selective universities, but the colleges are filled with students and some succumb to become criminals. The same occurs at the highest ranked private colleges as well. I think it'd be difficult to find many major campuses where some students don't use and sell these drugs.</p>

<p>btw - SDSU has roughly 29,800 undergrad students. The 75 arrested students comprises about 0.25% of that population meaning 99.75% were NOT arrested. I'm not saying there wasn't a problem at SDSU, there clearly was, I'm just putting it into perspective.</p>

<p>"The marijuana overdose death toll remains at zero..."

<p>So true. If only USC knew how many of their students were dealing from their campus side apartments</p>

You might want to ask the people who go to marijuana anonymous meetings about that. Marijuana has ruined many lives- maybe not 'directly' but indirectly. You are totally clueless.</p>

<p>like my teachers say
"in college, you will have smart people, bored people, and people who are smart and bored.."</p>

<p>i guess these people were the last</p>

<p>andi: How many of those effects can be controlled for? </p>

<p>Major correlation/causation distinction needs to be involved. So, it happens that weed smokers often come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. Surprise, weed smokers are disadvantaged in many areas on average ...</p>

<p>lol @ Marijuana Anonymous.</p>

<p>marijuana... anonymous? </p>

<p>haha</p>
