A BU student dines out

The Daily Free Press reports a BU junior was arrested at the Comm. Ave. Star Market around 3 a.m. on April 24 for wandering around the store, opening packages and eating the stuff inside:

The officer confronted the suspect when he tried to leave the store with his fingers covered in mashed potatoes from an open package he still had in his hands.

This would be more understandable...

...next week, during final exams. :-)

Cause and effect?

Wonder if this has anything to do with the recent decriminalization of small amounts of pot...

gotta blame it on something

gotta blame it on something right?

Sounds more like LSD

Or bipolar disorder. Either way, sensation-seeking was up and inhibitions down - much further down than pot smoking would account for.

I've never known a pothead to not pay for the munchies - open them in line, sure, but it isn't that strong a high!

Here's hoping ...

He at least had the decency to rip open one of those refrigerated packages of pre-made mashed potatoes rather than stuffing dehydrated flakes into his mouth.

As a former RA, trust me, it

As a former RA, trust me, it really is possible to get that way on weed. I have seen it happen, especially when some dumbass who has a low tolerance decided to smoke the weed with the THC crystals.

Not that it couldn't be other drugs, or a psychological problem, but ruling out weed? No, sorry, not buying it.

Could be generational

If you start with a much lower threshold of "don't touch- not yours", maybe. Lots of special snowflakes weren't raised with that sort of important social inhibition because their hippydippy parents didn't like that nasty discipline stuff harshing their wow. I remember when that tribe came through high school and now they is in college.

Then again - THC crystals????? That isn't pot - that's extreme. That's like saying "percocet can do that to you - if you take a crack hit".

I do remember my husband getting into a contest with his roommate where they both tried to eat as many saltines as possible while also eating orange juice concentrate - but they paid for it first ... and after ...

Holy fucking shit, Swirly

I'm starting to agree with you more and more.

P.S. That subject line was saved in my browser.

Wow!!

says it all, in a nutshell, SwirlyGrrl!!

"Dude...whoa...I ate those? Really? Whoa. Hey, did you take away my bong? Can I have that back? What do you mean no?! OPPRESSION!"

If I were him, I'd say,

If I were him, I'd say, "Hey, it wasn't like I was robbing and killing masseuses!"
