Universities across Canada are using very different strategies when it comes to how they handle recreational marijuana.

According to Macleans.ca the University of Alberta will permit the use of cannabis products in a small number of safe, accessible locations on campus, while Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, B.C., will ban all use on campus despite having designated tobacco areas.

The article also surveyed 23 thousands students across the country to gage pot use and Laurentian University was 16th as 41.8 per cent of students said they’ve tried it and 58 per cent say they’ve never indulged.

Laurentian University told us they are working on finalizing guidelines with regard to possession and consumption of cannabis on campus.

 

More than 23,000 university students responded to Maclean’s online survey, giving their opinions on professors and staff, residence life and opportunities for extracurricular activities.

Therefore, all marijuana use is self-reported, with 63.3 per cent of total students saying they never indulge.
