Obviously if someone is addicted to hard drugs they should go to rehab. This brings up a point. Some boys in my son’s Yeshiva High school were expelled for testing positive for Cannabis. If it’s not done on the premisis, I am not sure what business the school has to do that. Maybe they spend all their time doing things the school may not like? but they can’t test for that. Maybe they shoplift, or order food in the pizza shop and walk out without paying.

I thought that, this is wrong of the school. I think they should offer them rehab.

They should explain to them, that at their age, Cannabis is definetly harmful, according to all.

Shouldn’t they be teaching that? Maybe these boys are not aware of the dangers to themselves?

Now these boys are completely OTD, well what did you expect?

Wouldn’t it be worth the effort to try and get them back on the right path?
