Re: Aug. 22 news story.
According to your article, a Denver Public Schools spokesman said that although DPS was sympathetic to allowing children like Jack Splitt to use medical marijuana on school grounds, they feared repercussions from the federal government. The Denver Post’s editorial board . I disagree completely and feel DPS missed a great opportunity to demonstrate national leadership on this issue — and possibly open the door to prevent terminally sick children across the nation from needlessly suffering.
The image of these unfortunate children smoking a joint and getting stoned in school could not be more wrong. Medical pot that is rich in cannabidiol (CBD), the chemical that contains much of marijuana’s medicinal properties, is also extremely low in THC, the chemical that makes people high.
