MARIJUANA SAPS INITIATIVE, AMBITION AND RESPONSIBILITY
I attended a rough junior high outside of San Jose, Calif., a school
where the stoner girls at my ceramics table carved "Joe Elliot" into
their forearms with wood screws to prove Def Leppard allegiance.
In eighth grade my friend started hanging out behind the portables
with the stoners, which was weird because she was the school's star
softball pitcher. She could swing her arm around so fast that I
thought it might dislocate and fly off toward the bleachers.
She smoked pot before school every day. Before long she started
missing practice, which didn't matter once her grades failed and she
couldn't play softball. She had spent years perfecting that pitch.
