Kieran King says he's done some research into the matter, and he believes marijuana is no more dangerous than alcohol. The 15-year-old Canadian told some friends about his beliefs, and he says Wawota Parkland School principal Susan Wilson threatened him with police action, accusing him of using and selling pot at school. Feeling his free speech rights were being violated, he tried to stage a walkout at the school. In response, officials locked the school down and suspended King and his brother Lucas for three days.
