There are a lot of arguments that can be made for or against the unapproved use of scheduled substances. But “academic dishonesty”? That’s a new one.
Yet they are making it — in the context of “nonprescription misuse of prescription stimulants.” Big time.
(As to why it isn’t called “abuse, don’t ask me.)
The implication (that illegal drugs can be good for people) seems to have escaped them.
I’m wondering whether coffee is also a form of academic dishonesty.
Whether marijuana is a form of artistic and/or musical dishonesty.
And even whether alcohol and other drugs might promote “social dishonesty.” Is it really fair that some people get to relax in a social context while others can’t?
To hell with those who would be rulers in the name of “science.”
Pretty soon they’ll be demanding drug tests for students.

Forget academic dishonesty. Try dealer dishonesty and death.

Fake and adulterated drugs sold by unscrupulous dealers remind me of poisoned moonshine during Prohibition.
Wouldn’t it be better to allow people to buy what they want legitimately?
Of course. It would be less costly for everyone too. Prison population would probably be cut in half as crime to support drug use would diminish. Why are people so blind?
Because problems caused by the war on drugs are seen as arguments for ramping up the war on drugs. Similarly, problems caused by socialism are seen as justifying socialism. Blindness is a good analogy, as is insanity.
Americans have been socialized that government is the answer. What ever the problem. “There ought to be a law” is a common grumble.
Even St. Reagan didn’t mean it when he said government is the problem. And he was at least saying it out loud.
The masses are revolting. Proof? Trump.
