Stoned Cadets
I went to military college (the user name is a giveaway) here in the States. It was a VERY strict environment, as you might expect, and yet, there was one neighbor who, every morning, would get stoned off his arse...and then head off to class.

One day, as I was a Freshman, I had some reason to go in there, before classes to hand him some paperwork or some such. As a Freshman, going into an upperclassman's room, you had to stand at rigid attention and face the wall as you walked into the room (possibly some old buggery tradition, I dunno) and it happened to be right where the persons grade card was: The guy was a Civil Engineering Major (the toughest major on campus) and he hadnt gotten a SINGLE grade lower than an A that entire quarter. (Turns out, after a little investigation that he was a 4.0 student.)

He was seated at his desk, in his uniform, with the biggest doobie I had ever seen (think "Cheech and Chong" big.)

It was then that I started re-thinking the whole "pot smoker = stupid" theory I had.

PS(As these QOTWs have such a high reputation for truth telling, Todd C Spenla doesn't....)
