However, students still won’t be able to use the substance legally on campus. According to Section 47 of the bill, using marijuana will remain prohibited in the buildings and on the grounds of “any public or private institution of higher education or related entity.”
Deputy University Spokesperson Michael Hotchkiss told The Daily Princetonian in November that the University expected the law would prohibit the consumption of marijuana on University property, adding that “the University is still required to comply with federal law, under which marijuana is illegal and not permitted on University property or as part of any of the University’s activities.”
“We are analyzing these new laws and their impact at the University,” Hotchkiss told the ‘Prince’ following legalization.
