Reed College is known for being really awesome.

No kidding. That's because they'd have to shut down every institution of higher learning in the country. I seriously dare these morons to try something like that. Just go ahead and do it, you f@#king cowboys, and we'll see how it plays in the press when you prosecute a prestigious university because some of the students took drugs.
Better yet, why don't you prosecute yourselves the next time someone gets high in one of your prisons.
Law enforcement officials raised an unusual theory of liability. Under a federal law intended to close crack houses, anyone who knowingly operates premises where drugs are used may be subject to serious criminal and civil penalties.
