Most colleges and universities have substance use policies that ban students from using medical marijuana on university property. Colleges often cite that they receive federal funding and that weed is banned federally.

Possession and sale of cannabis remains illegal under federal law. Under the 1970 Controlled Substances Act, marijuana is classified as a Schedule 1 narcotic, meaning it has no recognized health benefits and a high potential for abuse. The penalties for possession may be up to a year in prison and a minimum fine of $1,000.

Medical marijuana is also often prescribed for chemotherapy or neuropathic pain. In addition to pain relief, cannabis can help patients control their weight, appetite and mood. “It puts [universities] in this awful position of, ‘I’m breaking the law unless I yank the medicine out of the hands of these ill students,’” Grinspoon says. “It also shows how federal illegality puts these institutions that want to do the best for their students in these impossible positions.”
