Bong Hits For Jesus

Radley Balko airs a libertarian heresy:

This case always seemed to me like an odd one for the drug reform movement to rally around. This was not an essay calling for the legalization of medical marijuana. It was a lame stunt to get noticed.

The fear was that the Bong Hits case would give the Supreme Court the opportunity give its okay for public schools to censor student political speech in favor of legalizing or decriminalizing drugs.  …To that end, you could make a pretty good case that yesterday's opinion was actually a victory for drug reform advocates, not a setback.
