My science teacher was busted for growing cannabis when I was in middle school in Florida. It was one of those moments that helped me realize that I’d been lied to about cannabis. I was told it was only losers that smoked cannabis – shiftless “druggies” that would steal from their grandmother to get their next bag. Turns out that cannabis users are everywhere from teachers to police, business owners, nurses, waitstaff – everywhere.
Isn’t it time this insane war on drugs came to an end? It’s really just a war on our friends, family, and neighbors. Here’s more proof. Hopefully this won’t cost this man his job up here in NH like it did for my teacher down in FL:
A Keene elementary schoolteacher was arrested on felony drug charges last week. Darrel L. Beymer, 49, of Harrisville was charged with felony growing marijuana, possessing marijuana and criminal trespass following his arrest Friday, according to Harrisville police. Beymer is a 3rd-grade teacher at Symonds School. Harrisville police Detective Dana Hennessy said Beymer was found in possession of marijuana and was arrested after “a lengthy investigation.” He was released on $3,000 personal recognizance and will be arraigned in Keene District Court Oct. 18. No further details were available.
