Students at some Canadian colleges will be allowed to use cannabis on campus after legalization comes into effect in October.
Universities across the North American country have begun to introduce their new marijuana policies following Ottawa’s June decision to legalize recreational use of the plant. Although some universities have decided to maintain strict prohibitions, others have revealed that they will permit students to smoke and consume pot with some limitations.
Don O’Leary, vice president at the University of Guelph in Ontario, told CTV News on Monday that the campus will remain completely smoke-free. However, as is the case with alcohol, students will be allowed to consume marijuana edibles in private residences with “reasonable” restrictions. Queen’s University in the province said that it will likely implement a similar policy.
