[Read of Interest] Health and education, for one teen, do not go together willingly.
 
excerpt:
The saga of a Colorado Springs teenager struggling with a rare neurological condition best controlled with medical marijuana lozenges
became a little more surreal when Harrison School District 2 informed the student’s father that the child cannot return to school on
any day that he consumes medical marijuana.

“They say if he takes his medicine he cannot come back to school,” the teenager’s father told The Colorado Independent.

Out of curiousity, what do you think the Michigan law has to do with a kid in Colorado?

The school did they right thing, they followed the law. You don't break laws just because you don't like them or they don't make any sense. That said, the law should be changed to accommodate students in situations like this.
