New kid on the blogck

Welcome to Melissa Milam who slides into the blogger's seat recently vacated by Baylen at D'Alliance. We're still cryin' in our beer here and miss Baylen like crazy of course but Melissa has already won us over with her first post on a thrifty high school teacher who was growing his own cannabis to save money.

Sadly he was busted when the police entered his garage in hot pursuit of a suspected truant student but the story has a reasonably happy ending for a drug war tale.

Prosecutors dismissed the charge last week because police didn't have probable cause to enter his home. He might return to work as early as Tuesday, though he will be subjected to random drug tests by the school district for one year.

I've always said cannabis consumers make great teachers. It appears the school district agrees.
