And btw, I am not aware of any college in any state where smoking pot is both legal and allowed by college regulation in dormitories.

Btw, if my first argument was so dumb, why do you now act like you now think pot should still be banned in college dorms? The fact that it IS banned there is evidence of why it should be banned period - the same principle applies universally.

You assume too much. I am very comfortable with separate regulations vis a vis public versus private spaces. Alcohol is, in most jurisdictions, illegal to consume in public, and being intoxicated in public is also, generally, illegal.

Given that the majority of occupants of college dormitories are, if not minors, than at least then under the legal drinking age, prohibition of the use of intoxicants is expected. That doesn't even take into account that dorms are college property, and subject to its regulation.

Sorry for not elaborating on the effect of legalization on college dormitiories; your fixation on them is cute, but it's been 25 years since I've even been in one so they're not the first thing I consider when reflecting on public policy.
