An Act to allow students access to prescription cannabis

This bill amends Massachusetts law to permit students to possess and consume medical marijuana under existing prescriptions. It specifically removes a restriction that previously prohibited students from accessing these medications in certain school settings. The change allows students with valid medical needs to follow their prescribed treatment plans without violating school policies.
