Bloodshot eyes always mean you've been smoking pot?

[proud2BlibKansan]

Trophy Club high school suspended a grieving 16-year-old boy for smoking marijuana because he had “bloodshot eyes” -- two days after his father died.

Kyler Robertson, a junior at Byron Nelson High School, was suspended for three days and transferred to an alternative school until January.

His father, Richard Robertson of Fort Worth, was stabbed to death near Azle on Sunday after getting into an argument with another man, police said. Kyler lives with his mother, Cristy Fritz, who has not been together with Robertson for a number of years.

On Tuesday, Kyler’s mother said her son was still grieving but longed for a sense of normalcy and wanted to be around friends.
"He insisted on going to school and said he just wanted everything to be, you know, normal," Fritz said.

Crazy. :crazy:

29. Same here. Hell, I usually close them after awhile; the rest can speculate.

[DeSwiss]

7. K&R

- Is there anyone left working in public service who possess critical thinking skills? Anyone? Hello? Is this mike on???

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. Raises hand

Actually the vast majority of us have good critical thinking skills as well as common sense. It's just a few dipshits that make us all look bad.

[newspeak]

13. saw this on KO last night

named the principal "worst person in the world." Why, you might ask? Well, she now will allow him back into school, but apparently the suspension will still be on his record. This woman does not deserve to be a principal if she has no "good critical thinking skills." And, how completely heartless can this woman be after the boy lost his father, and then he has to put up with this shite.

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. The link to the article says it will be removed from his record

I wonder if the school changed its decision because of Keith's report?

I agree this woman is an idiot. I'd hate to work for her.

[RobinA]

41. I Work

in public service and have intact critical thinking skills, and believe me, it's a real burden.

[Arkana]

8. Um, if I play video games for too long I get bloodshot eyes too.

This school is stupid.

[sylvi]

12. A woman told me once that part of the evidence that I was a stoner

was that I wore sunglasses.

When you're ignorant and hateful, there's no limit to the stupid shit you can come up with.

[Capitalocracy]

16. All us DU addicts are in trouble!

My first response reading this: oh, HELL no! I can't believe what they're doing to to this kid.

[Codeine]

17. Goodness. I've never once smoked it, and my eyes are always bloodshot.

Allergies and internet addiction will do that too.

[iamtechus]

18. Let me guess:

For whatever reason the kid is not an academic all-star and the school has an financial incentive to get rid of him because he and others in that category will drag the school's average TEST SCORES down. So, the school will seize on anything it can to get him out of the pool.

25. -1, read the damn article and your questions are answered.

Posting the same message twice on the same thread is a sure indicator, as well.

23. "Son, your eyes look red - have you been drinking or smoking pot?"

"Officer, your eyes look glazed - have you been eating doughnuts?"

NOTE - Don't EVER say this!

[SteveM]

30. I answered a copy once: "Sorry, I ran out 2 weeks ago."

[Snarkoleptic]

24. Nope....

27. wow

that is ridiculous....

however, visine is a smoker's best friend :smoke:

34. I've always preferred

Clear Eyes, although having bright-white sclera is only part of the equation. There's no disguise for the heavy-lidded 'bedroom eyes' associated with marijuana use. Short of taping my eyelids, I don't know of a cure for laid-back eyes.

[RobinA]

42. My College Roommate

was the queen of "laidback eyes." Me, I just got a little red, but back in the day of hard contact lenses, who could tell?

[TrogL]

32. I haven't slept in 2 days

My eyes have more red than white

[pipi_k]

35. More allergies here...itchy, watery eyes...scratching and rubbing...

they get red and swollen.


And I do a lot of sniffling too. I guess that means I'm, like, a cocaine snorter on top of it.



Geez, there's stupid, and then there's STOOPID...

and then there's STOOPID and EVIL.

[Canuckistanian]

36. Smoking pot gives you red eyes?

No that I've ever noticed. It does dry out your eyes - I could NEVER wear contacts and engage in a heavy pot smoking night.

But I've NEVER gotten red eyes.

This is probably just a 'drug myth' that ALL people who partake of illegal substances INSTANTLY get red eyes.. Or maybe it's the cocaine and heroin addicts who get the "red eye" look from being up for more than 24 hrs.

[RobinA]

43. Don't Forget

the much ballyhooed dilated pupils. The only thing I ever encountered that did that was the first week of Prozac.

[immoderate]

46. I once had a cop administer a roadside "drug test" on me.

Because I was pretty stoned at the time, I was especially interested in what he was doing. I asked him why I was "following the light" and he said something about changes in reflex. Well I had fun passing his test.

A lot of it had to do with eyes. I should say that I have very white sclera, so when I am very stoned, my eye whites look pretty normal. Only rarely do I get those "eyes."

[tblue37]

37. I have bloodshot eyes from allergies and lack of sleep. nt

38. He had probably been crying! nt

[Heywood J]

39. I would have said drinking before I thought of pot. (NT)

[NobleCynic]

44. Did this school administrator really just have the taxpayer offer

to pay for this kids college education? Either way, this has to be the most retarded thing I've seen in a while.

[CreekDog]

45. these guys were also victims :o(

[pleah]

48. I have bloodshot eyes almost every day from alergies.

Sue the fucking school. That seems to be the only thing that gets their attention.
