Sure seems that way, doesn't it?

A few years ago, our older son was "written up" at High School. The charge? Coming to school under the influence ... OF NICOTINE.

That's right, a legal substance which the kid was old enough to smoke. They couldn't pop him for having tobacco on him (tobacco-free campus) so they tried to say that since he had smoked a cigarette on the way to school (in his own private vehicle) that he had come to school "under the influence".

These are strange times we live in.
