Teacher Smokes Reefer in Class

(Fresno, California) A 23-year-old former substitute teacher at Fresno High School, Christopher Bochin, pleaded no contest to five counts of providing marijuana to minors. Both the court and Bochin's attorney were surprised. The charges resulted from an incident in February when Bochin sent two students from his class out to his truck to retrieve dope and a pipe. When they returned, Bochin lit up and passed the pipe around.

According to one student, half the class was smoking dope before authorities were alerted. Bochin has since apologized to the students and the community.

"As a teacher, it was my responsibility to tell students that marijuana is a dangerous and illegal drug. Instead I selfishly shared my own problem with them," said Bochin.

In addition to apologizing, Bochin has undergone drug and alcohol treatment which his attorney hopes will keep him out of prison. Bochin faces a possible 10 years in prison at his sentencing in December.

Not said about this case is that it's another example of a dope smoker acting dopey. Marijuana users, especially habitual users, have the tendency to lose touch with reality. Bochin obviously wasn't thinking clearly when he decided to light up in class.
