'Bong hits 4 Jesus'

Wait, "pro-drug declarations" aren't protected free speech?

Not in this day and age. Those freedoms were taken away from in the middle of the night without out consent. Stay tune more of the same to come

Strong statements about hate and religion; statements meant to offend, are not nor ever were protected under free speech.

I'm sure you can think of some examples.

But yes, bong hits do get me closer to Jesus. Although, I can understand others taking offense from such concepts.

Don't you love the Patriot Act?
our Constitution no longer exists

How ironic is that? Condemning something guaranteed by the Constitution (speach) in defense of a law that has no Constitutional defense (the drug "war" is completely unConstitutional).

Jesus used to get high.

It is a wonder how the founding fathers, infinitely wise as they were, never included a provision to protect something that they themselves may have partaken in...how are PLANTS more troublesome than rapist murderers??? HOW?! Freedom of speech only applies if you don't offend the people who are sworn to uphold it. hypocritical bastards!

It's funny that talking about drugs doesn't fall under "legitimate" protests.

Bong hits of what?
It could be tobacco, or peanut husks or marigolds or whatever else you can fit in the bowl and light.

If smoking pot brings you closer to your god good for you.Everyone needs to believe in something so express your opinion any way you want. Its your right as an American we fought wars for this right.
Plus I think I invented the bong.1972

Anything to do with rights is interesting

I think this kid was not only hillarious, but was truly supporting the work that Jesus did for the world. Why not let him express his appreciation in his own way/words? I can support murder and torture for war, but not drug use for religion? I don't get this...

The uses of many things that will make you forget or denouce your God is a sin. If you belive that this to be true, than puff and "Praise the Lord"!!!

You have the right to say, belive, and do what you want; as long you don't bother anyone else.

Ha, I used to have that Bumper Sticker.

4 Jesus Hits Bong

Go Jesus.

If more people were like Jesus, then bong hits would be perfectly acceptable for them. I say associate/promote weed with righteous behavior instead of hip-hop music and the world would be a better place.

Here in D.C. it is more like "Crack hits for Jesus"

bong hits are quite a spiritual experience

People who love weed are whinny.

I still think the statement itself was nonsensical; he only used "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" because "Lines of Coke for Charles Manson" wouldn't fit on the banner. The whole point of the argument is weather or not a kid that attends a public school, funded by money provided by the local, state, and federal government has the same rights outlined by the First Amendment as the rest of us poor, tax-paying shlubs who have graduated into the "real word."

Honestly, it shouldn't matter if the statement was "...a legitimate political or social protest rather than a pro-drug declaration." Since it clearly wasn't yelling "fire" in a crowded theater (...either in the literal sense, or otherwise) it should have been a fairly straightforward ruling by the court.

Instead, they've perpetuated another dangerous double-standard that threatens to further undermine our basic freedoms.

What is this stupidity about? Why do you have to involve Jesus and a Bong!?

Is nothing Sacred NOW?!

What was the motivation for making the sign at all? Sort of unrelated to what was going on...

I wonder if you can get a DUI for smoking peanut husks. I didn't even know peanuts had husks. See, as a result of this "current conversation" I learned something today.

I take a bong ripe for Jesus every day!

"Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do"
