Fraudside: Medical Marijuana Club Formed

New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan has just signed a bill recently passed by the legislature legalizing medical marijuana in New Hampshire and HHS students have already begun to support the cause. The Environmental Club has started a new branch called the Medical Marijuana Club, or MMC for short. The club will be the first high school organization in the state to grow cannabis plants to support local hospitals’ new programs.

The MMC has received permission from the Science Department to begin growing plants in the greenhouse portion of Ms. Gartner’s room for the remainder of the school year and plans for outdoor growth during the summer are being considered. All of the marijuana produced will be donated to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center’s first medical marijuana program.

Mr. Seibel, the club’s advisor, believes it will be a success.  The new club is a great way for students to give back to the community. Several staff members think that having students growing plants to help others who need the drug for medical purposes will decrease high school drug use, because students will view marijuana’s use as purely medicinal.

The MMC welcomes new members, dedicated gardeners, and those curious about the benefits of medical marijuana to attend one of their Tuesday Activity Period meetings in the Science Resource Center.  Homemade brownies will be served.
