Instead of taking assignments they give you and try to make them drug related
They let you skip the hard part!

Sounds like an awesome assignment, I would definitely go for a psychedelic, LSD shrooms, or whatever shulgin made, I wouldn't make it about X tho, since it seems played out.

Yeah that sounds absolutely retarded.
I have a research paper coming out soon on the Amanita Muscaria and it's relationship to spirituality in the Siberian region, but "Let's just write about drugs" is the stupidest fucking thing I've heard of in college.

Its really no wonder why so many college graduates can't get jobs coming out of college anymore. Most degrees are almost worthless nowadays. Or if not worthless, probably not worth 4 years and however many thousands.

I have a hard time taking myself seriously when I look at some of the so called professionals they hire to teach the classes I'm in. These are the guys preparing people to be doctors and nurses, every med student has to take these same classes I've been taking and the information is horribly outdated and in some cases just plain wrong.
Honestly I think the problem these days is apparently it doesn't take any kind of skill or ability to teach college classes anymore.

The bottom line is its not the degree that gets you a job/career, its the stuff you learn while doing the degree. People go into college with the expectation that all they need to do is pass classes and get the degree to have a career then they are inevitably disappointed when they have no marketable skills. College can be a means to gaining marketable skills, but that cannot be done with the mainstream 'C's get degrees' attitude.
Not directing this rant to you, just ranting in general.

Nice man. I wrote a paper about the health benefits of shrooms for a freshman English class, did a presentation on psilocybin for Brain and Behavior, and wrote another paper about the medical benefits of illegal drugs for a Medicine and Literature class.

PART1:
Stupefying Universities
Universities make several important contributions to the structural stupidity of a nation. Large classes, impersonal processing, irrelevant course requirements and inferior instructors all contribute their share to naturally stupid societies but there is a lot more that can be done to prevent intelligence. Selective screening of students does much to stupefy a nation. Again, if an educational system does its share to exclude or to expel women, Blacks, Chicanos, Indians and the children of the working class, it builds great reservoirs of ignorance in the general population upon whom great stupidities depends.
Schools assiduously teach young people to take education seriously when it should be fun. Schools teach young people tons of stuff that they can never use and wonder why it is forgotten. Schools teach the literature of dead white males as if those in living color had nothing of interest to say. The more linear and impersonal the stuff is, the more important professors say it is when, in fact, the more mystery and magical a thing it, the more engrossing it is.
The liveliest students with the liveliest imagination are dumped out of the school system leaving only those who will sit quietly long hours enduring boring and useless lectures given by indifferent and arrogant teachers. The thought is that, if one will sit quietly taking notes for 12, 16, or in the case of psychiatrists, 20 years, one can be entrusted with any really stupid task.
Artificial stupidity is functional to the structure of class, gender and racial privilege and is to be encouraged by any society wishing to preserve its larger stupidities. Again, estimate of SQ are easily derivative; one simply takes the total number of women (or Blacks or Indians or Chicanos) in the general population as the numerator; install the number of women (etc) actually in university as the denominator and one has a quick and dirty reading of the stupidity quotient of a society. There is much more to be done to refine such scores but, as a crude indicator, it is not off by any magnitude.
For example, Women can be systematically routed into some of the more stupefying disciplines (home economics, physical education, teaching or social work) while men are routed through the more demanding (but still tunneled) disciplines such as engineering, military science [sic], medicine, law, or agriculture. Land grant universities offer a model for structurally stupid societies to emulate while such elites universities such as Harvard, Stanford, MIT, and Yale contribute to artificial stupidity in quite another way; they offer good education to safe constituencies.
Notre Dame, Alabama, Nebraska, Florida State and University of Nevada at Las Vegas manage to maintain their contribution to structural stupidity by emphasizing football, basketball or track while disdaining any effort to build an intelligent knowledge process. One can say with confidence and pride that a football player or basketball star coming out of Notre Dame or UNLA is as ignorant about society and nature as they were when they entered, or perhaps, more so. It is not an easy accomplishment and should be acknowledged for its contribution to the general stupidity of a society.

PART2:
Stupefying Faculty
A society with an extensive educational system, a plethora of social problems and the unused capacity to solve them requires a special kind of a faculty if it is to maintain first place on an SQ scale. In American universities, professors make their special contribution to artificial stupidity.
Sociology faculty teach the children of the lower classes that stratification is functional: someone has to do the tedious and the dirtiest jobs at the lowest possible wages or the stratification system won't function. Everyone knows that women, workers and minorities must function as if they were stupid or a structurally stupid society will fall apart. Everyone knows that strong democracy is not possible and were it instituted in the work place, in the market place or in the university, the whole stupid society would collapse. Sociology faculty teach children of the upper middle classes that their own privileged place in society is the result of merit, which, presumably, one day they will display in their display of artificial rationality.
Sociologists teach premed students that their studies are much harder than is the labor of the farmer or the factory hand therefore they deserve higher wages after they graduate. They teach lawyers that their work is much more important to society than is food or housing work therefore lawyers deserve to earn 5, 10, and 20 more than farmers or carpenters. Sociologists teach their students that sociology is the queen of the sciences therefore they should never entertain a critique of it.
Economists teach students in economics that there is an invisible hand that will, someday, make everyone wealthy and prosperous if only some people stay poor and in ill health now so some can be wealthy and prosperous. The data from worker-owned and operated firms are discretely neglected since they tend to show that costs are lower, quality higher, profits larger, absenteeism absent and worker moral higher that are firms owned by the leisure class.
Political science professors teach their students that America is a democratic society but, happily, fail to mention that it is run by some 200,000 members of elite clubs, schools, corporate firms. They teach students that a country run by a few special interest groups is a pluralist country and therefore a democratic nation. They argue that when a citizenry votes for one of two candidates--both preselected by corporate and conservative interests--that such a process is a democratic one. Students are kept assiduously ignorant of the fact that doctors, lawyers, merchants, corporation executives and organized crime bosses get together regularly at clubs, conferences, retreats and restaurants to make sure that this invisible hand squashes opponents, critics and nay-sayers while it fixes prices, assigns market share, divides up whole continents and organizes blacklists.
Psychologists teach students that all behavior, all morality and all criminality is a product of the single individual acting alone out of anger and anxiety left over from potty training or from nipple biting. Infantile desires and frustrations are blamed for crime rather than disemployment, compulsive consumerism, racial hatred, profit rates or nationalism. Morality is never a function of a whole social formation but only the separate acts of a person who follows the rules. Criminality is not generated by the everyday norms and values of a society but by the private greed or impulsive violence of unloved persons. Mother is blamed for much of what goes wrong in banks, schools, police stations, armies and football teams while father is blamed for what goes wrong in politics.
Hydrology researchers, forestry instructors, engineering professors and vet med teachers all contribute to the artificial stupidity of a society by their enthusiastic service to whatever and whomever has the funds for research. Ag profs in california invent hard and tasteless tomatoes so multinational food companies can lower labor costs. Landowners in Pakistan want to hog all land so they hire 'modernization teams' to build agricultural systems that only big farms can use and irrigations systems that are too costly for small farmers. Plywood companies want cheap timber so foresters strip a forest of its many species and replant one quick growing pine and thus impoverish the natural variety of a forest and its inhabitants.

You should do a presentation on it in front of the class. Pass out slightly modified Sweet tarts and be like,"You should all write about THIS experience!"
*Queue the disco lights*
