Today I read an article on USA Today College about the legalization of Marijuana in 4 new states. On election day, four states(California, Nevada, Massachusetts, and Maine) voted on whether or not they would legalize the use of marijuana. This article talks about how although the drug may be legal in your state, its recreational use on college campuses in not permitted. Some Faculty for the universities have said that though legal in some states, it is still illegal at the national lever therefore it should not be used on campus because it will effect the learning ability of the student. However, on other campuses some faculty is saying to loosen up on the restriction. Schools also wont budge on the restriction because of things such as federal funding. Many national organizations are pushing for reform on this issue.
