The law will be a boon for drug addicts and American tourists, who will no longer fear sleepless nights in Mexican prison (As long as they forgo the fifth joint). But it is unlikely to have any other obvious effects. The law is a step in the right direction and will stop some of the corruption in police forces: It has been common practice for people found possessing drugs to face jail time, unless, of course, they...

These students would live in their houses and do their work like other J-term residents, but would eat elsewhere.

...academic mission. The writing process is not always straightforward and schedulable, and seniors should not be forced to cap their intellectual possibilities because of a housing quota. For most students, January will provide three weeks of welcome relaxation with family and friends. Seniors who ask to forgo this opportunity to do some of the most rigorous research and thinking of their Harvard career should be encouraged and assisted, not turned away...
