SANTA FE, N.M. Theres a new push to allow medical cannabis on school grounds.
Sen. Candace Gould, R-Albuquerque, has pre-filed Senate Bill 204, aiming to allow the medicine in schools and on school buses, and to be administered by staff.
Yet the bill allows exclusions for districts that demonstrate they will lose or have lost federal funding from allowing medical cannabis.
If passed, students with a treatment plan agreed upon by the schools principal and the students legal guardian and a certification for use of medical cannabis will be allowed to take the drug at school.
Designated school personnel or legal guardians would dispense it, as the bill would prohibit students from self-administering or storing medical cannabis.
And administering cant cause disruption to the educational environment or cause other students to be exposed to medical cannabis, the bill says.
The approach would be much like that for other drugs at schools.

How does it get on a school bus in this scenario?
Marijuana use remains illegal and fully criminalized according to federal law, and [school] is subject to the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendment of 1989. In addition, the [school] Drug and Alcohol Policy prohibits the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, and use of controlled substances, illicit drugs, and alcohol on property governed by the [school administraion] and at any site where [school] work is performed.So how is a New Mexico state law going to get around Federal laws?
I am surprised that New Mexico didn’t go straight to Medical Peyote.
I guess the only one stupider than a New Mexico Democrat...
... is a NM Republican.
the weed junkies are letting their addictions control their critical thinking....
First, New Mexicos Oil and Gas Act let the state Oil Conservation Division directly impose penalties and fines on operators who violate environmental laws...so now, it’s bring on the weed...
I suppose it would discourage the students from dealing weed....
