Policy: The use, possession, sale, or cultivation of marijuana for medical and/or recreational purposes is not allowed on any Quincy College property; nor is it allowed at any college sponsored event or off campus
Use of marijuana (and/or any other drug) on college premises is strictly forbidden and subject to action under the Student Code of Conduct. Individuals may also face criminal sanctions for the unlawful possession, use or sale of marijuana under state or federal law.
Effective January 01, 2013, Massachusetts law legalized the use of medical marijuana. Federal laws (including the Controlled Substances Act and the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act) prohibit marijuana use, possession and/or cultivation at educational institutions and on the premises of other recipients of federal funds. Therefore, even individuals with medical marijuana prescriptions will not be able to possess or use marijuana on the Quincy College campus or college sponsored events or off campus activities.
