    Clairemont High School. TV 8 Action News was on campus to talk to students about a raid that occurred on November 9th. 27 students were arrested-most of them students-on drug charges. San Diego police officers involved in the raid said it was in reaction to numerous complaints from neighbors about “blatant marijuana smoking and malicious vandalism.” A student Gene Gleeson spoke to said “if the police would have come out here and asked the people nicely if they were hurting peoples’ property, and said just to leave you know, we’re not making any arrests-just leave the property and go somewhere else to get stoned, and then maybe the people would have done it.”
    Cameron Crowe's debut screenwriting effort, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, grew out of a book he wrote while posing for one year undercover as a student at Clairemont High School in San Diego, California.

    I was there... I can be seen at 38 seconds in a red plaid shirt and red T-shirt. The twins at the start of the video (one being interviewed) were my close friends, and still are today. Thanks CBS 8 for posting this, really conjures up some memories!

      @@DiogenesOfCa Thank you! Saved my life. Seriously. I found out I am allergic and sensitive to many foods and chemicals. One being otc and pharmaceuticals. Then medical marijuana became legal. I got off of my handful of toxins (for me) and lit up the flower. The first time I ate because I wanted to, not because I had to (for the pills), felt so amazing. My health is so much better. I still have health issues due to allergies and sensitivities, but I'm no longer wishing I was dead because of pain or feeling so exhausted and sick all the time. The healing is so much easier.
      For me, you and everyone throughout history that made this happen are heroes. Saved my life. Thank you

      @Clinton Davis I also went to Marston and Clairemont🌟Sounds like you were a few years or so ahead of me.
      I got hit and ran over by a truck on Clairemont Mesa Blvd four and a half yrs ago. I've been clean and sober since that day and although the accident left me paralyzed, I walk w/the Lord now🙌✝️.
      I guess growing up in Clairemont "the party" never wants to end for some of us. There comes a time when we have to say no to drugs and alcohol. It almost killed me a few times over again. Great news is my left leg is starting to move and doc is putting me back into therapy next week. I'm not givin up the fight! I want to walk again and run at the beach again down there by Diamond and Law St. It will be a blessed day to run and dive right into the ocean again down at Mission, tower 13 by the Plunge or up a bit by Cystal pier🏖💯All God Willing of course🙏

      But not an overweight person in sight. It could be the preference for long hair and facial hair on men, and the usage of blouses and layers by women. I also feel kids- particularly girls- nowadays, use a lot more skincare and cosmetics than at any other time except perhaps the 1980s.

    Clairemont is a cooky neighborhood, but it’s one of the few that I think still feel almost the same as they did 30-40 years ago. Can’t say the same about places like OB, Golden Hill, Barrio or PB.

We had two type4s of students at Midway, the smart and artsy that were bored at regular schools, and the hardcore that had been kicked out of every school. I think after Midway was Snyder. Then County jail or state prison. We didn't have to worry about narcs. They knew we were already beyond help. In fact, one field trip we were openly smoking weed on the bus and the teachers didn't say anything...
