After a few minutes of loud classroom chatter, during which John slowly paced at the front of the room with a grin on his face, he called the class back together with another lift of his hands. He strolled over toward my side of the room, stopping every few feet to pepper another student with questions about his or her new friend. Finally, he walked over to me and asked, “Who are you?” Before I could answer, he looked at the class and continued, “I think this guy got a hold of some pot. Should we let him in here or not?” John’s question was met with a somewhat uncomfortable silence as the students didn’t really know how to reply.
