The student body at the University of California, Santa Barbara disproves so much of what prohibitionists want to believe about marijuana. Aren’t stoners supposed to be asocial morons?

95% of those who apply to UCSB as freshman are in the top ten percent of their high school class. Only half of those are accepted, with an average GPA of 3.97 and a mean SAT I score of 1845. This makes UCSB one of the “Most Selective” Universities in the US according to US News. The faculty that teaches them includes five Nobel Prize winners.

At the same time, High Times magazine recently ranked UCSB as the second most marijuana-friendly college campus in the country. And the interest is not merely academic. Playboy magazine ranks UCSB as number two on its list of “party schools.”

Apparently smart people can and do enjoy marijuana. And next weekend, you can party with them.
