Some parents are urging Maine lawmakers to allow medical marijuana in schools.
The parents appeared Thursday before the Legislature's Education Committee to express their support of a bill that would allow schools to provide accommodations for children who use medical marijuana.
The Portland Press Herald reports that the bill is sponsored by Republican state Rep. Deborah Sanderson of Chelsea, who says it doesn't make sense that schools can make accommodations for other prescription medications, but not marijuana.
Her bill would prohibit schools from banning medical marijuana, in non-smokable form, on school grounds for any student who is a certified patient. It also would clarify that students could not be denied eligibility to attend school because they require medical marijuana.
Melissa Burnham says cannabis stops her 8-year-old son's severe epileptic seizures.
