Medical Marijuana Topic Of Discussion Among Missouri School Boards

Medical marijuana will be legal in Missouri in 2020, but school districts around the state are scrambling to revise their policies to explicitly state that it will still not be allowed on their campuses by anyone; students, staff, parents, and visitors since it’s still illegal under federal law. The Joplin School Board will discuss it tonight.

The Missouri School Boards’ Association recommends all districts “make it clear that drugs, including medical marijuana, are still not permitted on district property if they are considered illegal under state or federal law.”
