To lead by example.  He's a principle. If he wasn't in a position of youth

leader****p in a system that teaches
against drug use, I would agree with you completely.  But the idea of a 
principle getting caught smoking pot in a public
park is generally unimaginable, so that indicates there -may- be a
problem.

He's a public figure publically breaking the law in a public park.  It's a

big park, and there is plenty of op****tunity for privacy, so the fact that

the people who saw him just happened to be police means he -totally-
failed 
to keep it private.  Who knows how many other people saw it?

Personally, I think if he wants to smoke pot in his house, that's...well, 
not "fine" but it's his business.  Were I to explain it to his students, I

would tell them that young people's brains are still developing and drug
use 
seems to hinder that development, so if you're a teenager drug use really 
does make you stupid.  That's why for some adults the same double standard

exists as does for driving, voting, ***ual activity, child-rearing and 
fighting wars.   Meanwhile, you don't want your parents talking about
their 
*** life to the whole world; nor do they need to share their other adult 
activities with your friends and everybody else. It's that simple.
