With marijuana legalization around the corner, there are lots of questions left to be asked; where it will be sold, what the legal age limit will be, and how schools will deal with it.

Tony Baldwin, Director of the Prairie South School Division, says that schools have not looked too deep into it yet as they're still waiting for the province to decide what the rules will be before they do too much work. But he doesn't think there will be any change in the way students are educated about it;

"We're waiting to find out just what exactly the rules are going to be provincially before we do too much work at schools and in the school division. Marijuana is going to be an interesting blend of how we treat alcohol and how we treat medication."

"In terms of the provincial curriculum as it stands, we start very young with kids. I think that the information is there, and it's just a matter of adapting how we are teaching to the new reality of legalized marijuana."

Baldwin also says they expect to see an increase of the drug within schools and expects it will be a bit of a challenge to keep marijuana use as minimal as possible.

"It will be an interesting challenge because we know that we will have it in our schools because it will be prescribed to some of our kids. It's just a matter of finding a good way to keep those kids with what they need medically, and keep other kids safe so that we don't have that recreational part happening in schools."

Baldwin says he expects that marijuana will be in schools, and that they just have to treat it with zero tolerance – like alcohol.
