Medical Marijuana
Wellness InSTALLments
With marijuana being recreationally legal in 10 states and
Washington D.C. (for those over 21 years of age) and
medically legal in 33 states, a lot of people have been
questioning how these laws impact us here in the state of
Florida and on campus. Florida legalized medical marijuana
during the 2016 election, which allows those diagnosed with
certain debilitating conditions at the discretion of a doctor to
consume prescribed cannabis. Although marijuana is legal in Florida for those
with a medical card, consuming/possessing marijuana on campus is still
considered illegal due to FGCU’s status of being a federally funded state
institution. In order for our campus to receive federal funds we must adhere to
both state and federal laws. So, regardless if recreational marijuana becomes legal
in the future, our campus will remain a drug free zone.

Question of the Month
A “dab” is a concentrated dose of cannabis that looks like
wax. “Dabbing” is the process of heating, then inhaling this
concentrate. Dabbing and/or using THC oils is often seen as a
safer and more discrete way to use cannabis. While taking a
few hits off a vape pen is both convenient and more subtle,
the legal consequences are more severe. It is a 3rd Degree
Felony in the state of Florida to be in the possession of THC
oils/concentrates (this can even include a small amount of residue).
Don’t end up in the JOINT!
