✅  Minnesota Legalized Recreational Cannabis Use 

Starting on August 1, Minnesota will become the nation’s 23rd state to legalize recreational cannabis use for adults 21 years of age and older. This email outlines Augsburg University policies regarding marijuana in light of the new state law.

Although cannabis will be legal under Minnesota state law, it is still illegal under federal law in almost all forms. In accordance with the federal Drug Free Schools and Communities Act, Augsburg will continue to:

• Prohibit the use, possession, and distribution of cannabis (medical and recreational) on campus or at any off-campus activity sponsored by or affiliated with the university (e.g., athletic events, conferences, retreats, class trips, internships, remote work, etc.).

• Prohibit all students from being under the influence of cannabis while on campus or while participating in off-campus activities sponsored by or affiliated with the university.

• Prohibit any student under the age of 21 from using, possessing, or distributing cannabis, both on and off campus.

Any student alleged to have violated these policies will be subject to the university’s Conduct Adjudication Process.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any additional questions. The Center for Wellness and Counseling and the StepUP® program are also available as free and confidential resources for students with additional questions or concerns related to substance use.
