BILL WOULD ALLOW MEDICAL MARIJUANA IN SCHOOLS

A Maine legislative committee says schoolchildren should be allowed 
to take prescribed marijuana on school grounds if a parent or 
guardian administers it on campus. The Portland Press Herald reported 
that the Joint Standing Committee on Education and Cultural Affairs 
approved the legislation on Thursday. The rule means school nurses 
and personnel will not be responsible for storing or administering 
marijuana. A parent, guardian, or caregiver would have to come to 
campus to administer it. The bill is going to the full state 
Legislature for consideration. The bill says the drug cannot be 
smoked and must be taken in some other form such as an oil, edible 
substance, or pill. (AP)
