Student life is a deeply cultural experience, and being able to hang out with your friends is a major part of being a student.
Being able to go to a party or event with your friends is one of the most important parts of this.
Some events like parties are regulated by campus officials, so going is controlled by rules about dress code and age restrictions. Even though these rules may apply to young people as well as adults, they still make sense!
When you are an adult, having access to cannabis is still illegal. But for an underage person who will be attending college or who will be at an event where cannabis use is expected, having access to cannabis can help relieve stress and improve morale.
This article will talk about ways for students at UNC-Chapel Hill to use cannabis during campus events andournament-style parties.
Students report using cannabis for relaxation or to help with studying
More and more students are testing the cannabis legalization movement. Having a high-quality strain that you can easily obtain is a big draw for some.
Part of this accessibility comes from the fact that many growers do not offer their strains in retail channels. Most dispensaries only offer small-scale production, large-scale distribution, or both.
At the university level, cannabis access is an issue of policy and practice. University policies can either allow or deny student use of cannabis, and they can be complicated. Many universities either do not address it at all or just allows students to receive a waiver if they have no normal functioning mental capacity due to use.
Students say that the effect of cannabis on studying is neutral
Many students say that the effects of cannabis on studying are unclear. Some say that it helps them focus more easily, while others say that it makes their studying more enjoyable.
There is much debate about whether or not having a small amount of cannabis during study time is enough to have an effect. Many schools require that a certain amount of cannabis be consumed before study and/or during study, making the assumption that if one has a small amount of cannabis, then they will finish the entire thing and be in bed early enough the next day to enjoy it without the need for another large dose.
This thinking is wrong. Having a small amount of cannabis does not mean that you will finish the entire thing and/or can enjoy bedtime with. Many people find that having just a little bit of cannabis before going to sleep or just staying up late to study is all they need.
Many students believe that smoking cannabis does not affect their future
Having access to cannabis is an important part of student life.
Legalization could reduce the number of illegal sellers
Once cannabis becomes legal, there will be a demand for sellers. The more people have access to cannabis, the more incentive to sell it illegally.
This will have an impact on students. Cannabis is a way for students to unwind and a way to promote intellectual stimulation.
Many find it useful for studying and working together. Since legal sales would be standardized, quality would increase.
Some believe this problem will only grow as the number of legal marijuana shops increases due to political pressure. As more people gain access to quality cannabis, illegal sellers will follow suit and offer less quality product.
Smoking cannabis can have negative effects on students
With more and more people beginning to realize the positive effects of cannabis for recreational use, it is for sure that this conversation is only going to grow.
Many people find cannabis to be an inexpensive and legal way to get their fix. Many students feel that since there are no rules about consumption when smoking cannabis, they can more freely try it.
Since cannabis is generally considered a harmless drug that brings relaxation, people who use it often don’t think about what they are doing. This can lead to embarrassing or harmful situations for those involved.
University policies regarding cannabis are lenient
Students have access to cannabis at several University of Maryland campuses, with most locations having representatives available to speak with students about safely using cannabis to self-reatify or take a break from the experience if needed.
University policies regarding cannabis are mostly lenient, making it an easy option for students. At UM volunteers at the Student Center or by calling 791-Cannabis can give out free samples of CBD and/or THC, letting students decide if they want to try it or not.
These policies are beneficial for students, who can usually find someone to sell them something if they’re comfortable enough. It also helps foster community building and sharing, which is known to decrease social anxiety and increase comfort with the world around them.
These policies are important for representing Cannabis as a student rights issue, as only they feel comfortable getting help with it.
Cannabis can help students relieve stress and anxiety
studies have shown that using cannabis can help reduce stress and improve anxiety. Plus, it can help enhance mental clarity and help with sleep.
Many schools are starting to realize the benefits of cannabis as a graduation drug. More and more schools are allowing possession and use as well as drug testing.
At universities such as University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and University of Florida, officials are working to ensure that students who have been found guilty of a non-violent drug offense have access to cannabis. UCLA has even developed a policy where cannabis is recognized as an academic performance drug.
At Florida, officials are working on having access to cannabis be a graduation requirement.
Students are divided on whether they think legalization would affect them positively or negatively
Students of all ages discuss how they feel about marijuana and college life in large, wide circles. Many claim it influences their decision about attending school and living arrangements, which is why they are willing to talk about it.
Of these students, between half and two-thirds say they have used cannabis at some point in their lives. Most people report using it less frequently as they get older, but some continue to use it throughout adulthood.
Many report that using cannabis has helped them focus and get through exams and other tasks with fewer distractions. It can also be used as a form of therapy or self-help for things like academic achievement or productivity problems.
However, there are reports of people who continue to use cannabis despite the risk of addiction and damage to health that comes with it.
