Every objective study on marijuana has concluded that it is FAR safer than alcohol. Yet most of the nation’s colleges and universities punish students far more for using marijuana than for using alcohol.

In doing so, they are sending a dangerous message that fosters and perpetuates a “culture of alcohol” on campuses nationwide, and drives students to drink rather than make the rational, safer choice to use marijuana instead.

It’s time colleges and universities stop encouraging college students to “drink responsibly” and start encouraging them to “party responsibly.”
