Drug Day in Crim Prac Got a Little Mayhemic...
I really can't describe it. Basically, I completely lost control of the class, which ended with a student standing up front waving my pen around and quoting from an open copy of William S. Burroughs' "Junkie."
And no, I'm not making that up.

I told you I should have been guest lecturer on the evils of psychotropic drugs such as caffeine. That never would have happened if I had been there handing out the Mountain Dew. Oh well, you'll get'em next year.
On the plus side, no one brought props any more controversial than a book. No oregeno or ground aspirin. I thought of bringing some munchies in case anyone got a craving in the middle of class, but I decided against it. So it could have been even MORE mayhemic.
Decades back, when my brother was in high school, pre-DARE, a police officer came in and passed around a plate of drug samples, so the kids would know what to watch out for. There were more joints on it when it got back than when it went out.
