On Tuesday, March 30th, New York lawmakers approved a bill that legalizes recreational marijuana for adults 21 and over. As of right now, using marijuana recreationally is legal, and people in NY are allowed to have up to three ounces of cannabis, or 24 grams of concentrated cannabis oils. As soon as regulations are put in place, the sale of marijuana will be legalized as well.
While smoking cannabis is legal in places where tobacco smoke is allowed, the drug is still not permitted on school grounds. All accredited schools, state and private, will treat marijuana usage as a violation of their code of conduct. Usage and possession will remain in violation of this code. Students living on campus will not be allowed to have marijuana and RA’s can write incident reports for any students caught with the drug. These rules extend to students travelling on school-affiliated field trips, as school rules still apply in these situations. While school rules do not apply to students living in off-campus residences, marijuana will not be permitted on school ground, in classrooms, or in dorms.
