Limit liability for medical marijuana use on campus

Abstract

CLEARWATER BEACH, FLORIDA — In just five years, an increasing number of states (at least 10) have approved the legalized recreational use of marijuana. Meanwhile, 29 other states, plus Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and Guam, have legalized medical marijuana. Nine of those states passed medical marijuana laws that include explicit anti‐discrimination protections for employees who hold a medical marijuana card. And 17 states allow some use of at least one component of the drug, such as THC, according to Katrina Chapman, Esq., a partner with Holland & Knight LLP.
