Medical Pot-In-Schools Bill clears Colorado legislative hurdle
“Colorado schools would be forced to allow students to use medical pot under a bill that cleared its first hurdle Monday at the state Legislature.”
Colorado would be the second state after New Jersey to require schools to accommodate medical pot as long as it is in non-smokeable form and is administered by a nurse or caregiver. School officials testified against the requirement, saying marijuana remains illegal under federal law. “There is no way around the fact that federal law still recognizes marijuana as a controlled substance,” said Kathleen Sullivan, a lawyer for the Colorado Association of School Boards.
