COLORADO Passes Law Allowing Medical Marijuana in Schools

COLORADO Passes Law Allowing Medical Marijuana in Schools

In an unanimous vote on Tuesday, the Colorado Senate approved “Jack’s Law,” a measure allowing children to use medical marijuana on school grounds. The law, which Governor John Hickenlooper supports, requires schools to establish policies for medical marijuana access, but does not require school administrators or nurses to administer it. Instead, it allows parents or caregivers to provide non-smokeable marijuana to students.

“Jack’s Law” is named after Jack Splitt, a 15-year-old suffering from spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy and dystonia, who requires around-the-clock support. Splitt’s mother Stacey Linn began fighting for access to medical marijuana in schools after administrators confiscated Jack’s cannabis-infused arm patch last February. A nurse who provides daily support for Jack was carrying marijuana oils that were also taken.

Officials at the Jefferson County school that confiscated Splitt's medication said that as recipients of federal funding, federal law applied to their halls. Jack’s Law allows districts to opt-out of the requirement if they can prove the policy caused a disruption in federal funding.

“We don’t have time to wait for school districts to do the right thing,” Jack’s mom Stacey Linn, who is also the executive director of CannAbility Foundation, said in a press release. “Jack and many other children need their medicine to get through the day and learn, and it’s imperative that those responsible for teaching them show compassion and understanding.”

The law will make Colorado the second state to allow children to use medical marijuana at school.

funny how denver post has its own cannabis reporter (the cannabist) but when a BIG story breaks and some real knowledge is being droppped; it's published under denver post, NOT "the cannabist" (even tho baca is cited as an author, couldn't get it actually IN the weed section)

that being said; DP just put out a REAL piece of journalism about WHO owns all the licenses

It is more than maddening to be sittin on a pile of herb I can't sell because of too many rules and licensing regs. I don't have enough herb to cover the cost of a license and they won't setup a fair small farming tax structure like I see all over the Mesa and it's family farms. Why can't the processing centers be allowed to set-up buys through local grows that are under (say about) 20 lbs a year? The centers can test it, grade it, and set a new standard in top shelf offerings. I am just a dreamer...I better get back to work on the roof of my greenhouse. Drilling EMT is a PITA!

I haven't read what is in that bill. But since it allows (I assume MMJ) pot, would that allow staff that has their medical card to have weed at the school or is it JUST for the kids?

I am gonna guess that staff use is governed by their employers. So I doubt it.

NO employees are guaranteed their right to use cannabis and retain their job - even for medical reasons. the dish tv precedent.... i seriously doubt state employees of all people would be exempted.
i guess a kids right to publicly funded brainwashing is more important than an adults ability to hold a job and provide for family/self.

also.... funy to note how it says districts may opt out IF THEY CAN PROVE THE POLICY HAS CAUSED DISRUPTION IN FEDERAL FUNDING.
i love that
just like banks saying it could cause federal issues - yet never has - doesn't stop banks from using it as a reason, and other people spouting it off as "THE REASON".
im like "show me the PROOF
IF banks/schools were experiencing federal ramifications due to cannabis use on grounds or cannabis $ flowing thru their coffers THEN the reasoning holds water.
IF NOT, then its just fear tactics and posturing - trying to force a federal decision, or at least an "OK" from the feds to procede at best.

imo this is actually something good related to cannabis that got thru... not entirely politically driven, or driven entirely by industry profit protectionism
