US DC: Edu: University Bans Medical Marijuana On Campus

GW Hatchet, 26 Aug 2010 – Students who are prescribed marijuana under the new D.C. law permitting the drug for medicinal use will not be able to possess or use the drug on campus under the current GW student conduct policies, a University official said in August. Although medicinal marijuana was approved by the D.C. Council in July, GW’s Code of Student Conduct currently prohibits “possession or use of illegal drugs or controlled substances,” making it a violation for patients who attend GW to use the drug on campus.
