The Golden State has made a very progressive move this week.

California’s lawmakers have approved a bill that would allow medical marijuana on K-12 campuses in the state.

It was on Monday that the California Assembly approved Senate Bill 223, that would allow school boards to decide whether parents can administer medical marijuana on school campuses.

Senate Bill 223 will allow the use of marijuana in a non-smoking form.
Currently the law requires marijuana to be within 1,000 feet of school campuses.
The new bill would let school boards have the authority to decide whether or not medical marijuana is allowed and that also the medicine would have to be administered by a parent or guardian. The medicine would also have to be ordered by a doctor.

The medical marijuana would have to be consumed in a non-smoking form, either by liquid extract or a capsule.

“Quite simply we can’t be offering marijuana use on our school campuses,” said a worried Assemblyman James Gallagher, who represents District 3. He added, “We know that this could be abused and to open up the door to our schools, to our campuses for authorized drug-use is just a very bad precedent.”

Democrat Senator Jerry Hill introduced the bill which passed the Assembly 43 to 22.
