U of S and Sask Polytech plan to ban legal cannabis on campus
Both the University of Saskatchewan and Saskatchewan Polytechnic are drafting policies regarding the use of recreational marijuana on campus.
Patti McDougall, vice provost of teaching, learning and student experience at the U of S, said the university has spent the last six months working on a policy that will cover alcohol, smoking and substances. The policy will apply to staff, students and visitors to campus.
“Its based on four principles,” McDougall said. “To create an environment that promotes health and well-being, provide education related to the use of alcohol, smoking and substance use, aim to minimize risk to others and ensure any policies comply with applicable legislation and regulations.”
Saskatchewan’s Cannabis Framework prohibits consuming cannabis in public places.
