Not if you quote his mother.

Perhaps, but that's not where he wanted to go.

Secondly, smoking weed never has been, and never should be, a roadblock to getting a college degree. Two thirds of the now degreed medical doctors I attended college with, and virtually all the lawyers I attended college with, either smoked socially or daily back in the day. Virtually 100% drank socially. If you are capable of maturing, youthful indescretions fall away as responsible behaviors take precedence.

I note you offer folks with advanced degrees as evidence that a single pot smoking thug could obtain anything post secondary school. Somehow, I doubt relevance.

I am serving on one of the selection boards, Zeke, so failure from lack of trying is not going to be an option. As we said in the military, there will be no lack of motivation.

There'll just be lack of success.
