State Passes Revolutionary Law To Let Elementary Students Have Access To Medical Cannabis In School

AUGUST 3, 2018

While the United States Federal Government continues to claim that cannabis is a deadly drug with no medicinal value, the state of Illinois is setting a new precedent by passing a law that allows all students to use medical cannabis in school.

House Bill 4870 was signed into law by Gov. Bruce Rauner on Wednesday after it was passed by the state legislature with overwhelming support in a vote of 99-1. It amends the school code and requires all schools—public, private and charter—to let parents give their children medical cannabis at school

Requires a school district, public school, charter school, or nonpublic school to authorize a parent or guardian of a student who is a qualifying patient to administer a medical cannabis infused product to the student on school premises or a school bus if both the student (as a qualifying patient) and the parent or guardian (as a designated caregiver) have been issued registry identification cards under the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act.

While the bill does states that “a parent or guardian may not administer a medical cannabis infused product if the administration would create disruption to the school’s educational environment or would cause exposure of the product to other students,” it also opens a door by allowing cannabis to be present on school campuses at all. https://www.activistpost.com/2018/08/state-passes-revolutionary-law-to-let-elementary-students-have-access-to-medical-cannabis-in-school.html
