Louisiana hates drugs

Via The Dead Pelican - Louisiana hates the reefer.

ALTL wants to know....

I am familiar with the routine for evacuating before a hurricane. You don't know when you'll return, so it's always a good idea to unplug electronics, move stuff away from windows, and de-dairy your fridge.

However, what is the proper procedure regarding *certain substances* with the possibility of a C. Ray-enforced evacuation looming?

Is one supposed to flush them down the toilet? (Just in case the looters get in, we need to keep them from going too crazy! Or to keep FEMA workers away from that sh*t.)

OR - is it better to take that stuff with you, along with your important documents and extra clothing? (But what if you get stopped and searched by law enforcement in some suck-ass town in western LA?)

Please let us know, ALTL is just dying to find out what she should do. Thanks!

Be safe out there!

It's tough to be a Tulane student in this day and age: Weed Shortage on Campus

Some of my favorite exceprts:

One student explained that a certain religiously-affiliated fraternity is notorious for selling marijuana because of the fraternity's liberal, "hippie" tendencies.

"A lot of them really are committed to God and everything, but that doesn't mean they're angels. They know how to party too, like any other frat," she said.

How clever, they're not angels. I was counting on ALTR to identify this frat with her Greek roots, but without her the consensus is AEPi. I thought they were always more of a coke-oriented fraternity, but that could just be my misconception of the AEPhi sorority.

When asked about the situation, an upperclassman who smokes marijuana commented that the shortage isn't something to be too disconcerted about.

"All I can say is that it's good that pot isn't addictive," he said. "If it was, half the freshmen class would be going insane right now. Besides, maybe a shortage will help people out with midterms - could be a blessing in disguise."

Half of the first years are pot smokers? I'm not really sure whether that's a lot or a little. And, of course, leave it to a Tulane pot head to be optimistic about the weed shortage on campus and how it will effect midterm scores.

The T-P has done our work for us again.

Is leopard print the new black?

Between the Vitter scandal, Jefferson's soy burgers, and now this bit on Julie Quinn's baby mama drama - the Times-Picayune is ALTR's new favorite tabloid. Articles like this certainly make my job easier! This piece has it all - sex, drugs, alcohol, and, of course, politics. Unfortunately there are lots of children involved in this mix. But this article was certainly a great way to start off this lazy sunday.
