United States will be allowed kids to use cannabis at school as the legislation would legally allow students with approved conditions to consume medical marijuana in the form of edibles, beverages, and other low-THC products on school premises
CBS News reported that Michigan K-12 students may soon be permitted to use medical marijuana and CBD-infused products at school under a new bill presented last week.
Proposed by Democratic representatives in the Michigan House, the legislation would legally allow students to consume edibles, beverages and other low-THC marijuana products on school premises or buses.
The administration of these products would be overseen by a designated school staff member. Only students with clear written authorization detailing the timing and purpose, such as for emergency relief or symptom prevention, could use them.
“What it does is allow medical marijuana pediatric patients to have their medication in the schools the same way anyone else has their medications stored,” Michigan State Rep. Jimmie Wilson Jr., told CBS News. “The same way, whether it be in a nurse’s office or an administration office, they would go up and access their medication the same way anyone else would, and they would go back to class.”
However, the new initiative aims to increase accessibility to medical marijuana for eligible students. In addition, the bill showcases Michigan’s evolving stance on drug policies, aligning with both its legal and illegal drug environment. For example, a bill introduced in September aimed to decriminalize psychedelic plants, and there was a recent revision to the drug-testing policy for new hires this month.
