Washington, DC: Students with a doctor’s authorization will be able to access medical cannabis while attending DC public schools.
Washington, DC Public School officials issued a policy update last week acknowledging that school administrators are authorized to provide non-smoked medical cannabis products to authorized patients while they are on school grounds. Democratic Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes-Norton, who represents the District of Columbia, advocated for the policy change, according to media reports.
Several other jurisdictions, such as Delaware, Illinois, and Washington, already have instituted similar policies.
