Medical Marijuana & CBD

Medical Marijuana: JBU is committed to remaining in compliance with the federal Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989, along with any applicable state laws and regulations regarding the use of marijuana. Marijuana, in any form, including medical marijuana or synthetic (i.e., K2 or Spice or any synthetic product which, when consumed, mimics the effects of marijuana and elicits a feeling of being “buzzed,” high or intoxicated), shall not be possessed, sold, bought or used by JBU students on or off the university campus. Students requesting an exception to this policy must seek approval from the Vice President for Student Development. 
 
CBD Oil derived from marijuana or with a THC content greater than 0.3% is not permitted on JBU’s campus in any form. Medically recommended, hemp-based CBD lotions or oils that are administered topically (not smoked or vaped) are allowed, provided they contain 0.3% or less THC, and the student retains the original packaging showing the THC content.
