      Hi Clodagh, I am not entirely sure but I would really think they would not be allowed to do this.

    Hi Clodagh,
    At least in Arizona, it is illegal to have cannabis in educational institutes. Most states, I think, have set an age limit of 21 years, but you’d need to check this. Marijuana is particularly hazardous for younger brains that are still growing and developing. So if you know any teenagers who are taking marijuana then they should realise that there will be very long term poor consequences on their brains. They may think they’re smart & cool now, but I’ve seen people who smoked too much when we were younger…. it’s quite sad to see them now, shadows of their former selves!
