marijuana is an illegal drug, according to both FL and US laws.Having a PhD in no way elevates one above the law. It may encourage certain people to scoff at the law, thinking that they are above it. At the other end of the spectrum, there are also a lot of scumbag-ne'er-do-wells who do illegal drugs. Then, there are quite a few scumbag-ne'er-do-well PhDs who can't beat their way out of a paper bag.What's new?
