Drug Prevention Policy and Program

I. Scope

This policy pertains to the possession, use, distribution, dispensation, sale or manufacture of cannabis on University property or as part of any University activity.

II. Background

There are risks associated with the chronic use of all psychoactive drugs, including alcohol. Adverse health effects can range from nausea and anxiety to coma and death. When drugs are used in combination, their negative effects on the mind and body are often multiplied beyond the effects of the same drugs taken alone.
