As state laws change and national usage rates increase, students question the status of marijuana on SRU's campus. The legalization in Massachusetts of recreational marijuana use, starting December 15, doesn't mean that every Terrier will now be able to grow cannabis in their dorm rooms. There are still rules and regulations in place, especially on college campuses where federal funding and regulations may come into play.
A study finds that increased cannabis use among students, including vaping, is common on college campuses. This raises concerns about the potential impact on academic performance, health, and overall campus culture. Gen X and Millennial parents are navigating a landscape very different from the one they grew up with — new products, more use, and changing attitudes towards marijuana.
I am from cannabis Colorado. I was 11 years old when voters — much to the chagrin of then-Governor John W. Hickenlooper (who has now...) — legalized recreational marijuana in 2012. The ruling overturns a 2012 law passed by the Legislature that barred cardholders from possessing and using marijuana on public college campuses. This has implications for students who have medical marijuana cards and are living in on-campus housing.
