Well fuck me for being behind the times.

Students enrolled at K-12 schools in Michigan would be allowed to take medical marijuana and CBD-infused products under new legislation introduced last week. The bill, introduced by Democratic representatives in the Michigan House last week, would make it legal for students to ingest edibles, beverages, and other products with low amounts of marijuana while on school grounds or on a school bus. A designated staff member would be authorized to administer the product. Those allowed to ingest would have written permission that specifies when it can be administered and who can receive it. Such examples include rescue medication to relieve or prevent symptoms. The goal would be to expand student access to medical marijuana if the pupil is qualified to receive the substance. It's the latest example of how the state is adapting its policy to better fit the landscape of drugs that are both legal and not legal in Michigan. Another bill introduced in September seeks to decriminalize psychedelic plants. It also updated its drug-testing policy for some new-hires this month.
HB 5603 was referred to the Committee on Regulatory Reform on Sept. 28. It also specifies instructions for transporting and storing the product, directing it to be treated like the pupils' other medications. Medical marijuana was legalized in Michigan in 2008. The state legalized recreational pot for adult use in 2019.

Cbd doesn't get you high, thc does and at least one of the cbd products has fda approval. It is supposed to treat various conditions and has been shown works on some of them such as having seizures. I assume it's for kids who are chronically or terminally ill (like cancer) and not just anyone can use it. This shouldn't be an issue as long as they are not getting stoned during class which shouldn't be an issue if they're being honest about it and only taking cbd. I don't really have an issue with it it if it makes them stop having seizures or helps them stop hurting as bad. It would suck to lose the genetic lottery that bad so whatever helps their condition is fine with me and other medication can be extremely addictive and bad for your organs.

Agreed, as long as no THC is involved should be all fine, though this could be used as a gateway to legalize shit with THC
