I agree with Max in that I would like to know how libraries are
planning to serve, and bring into the library, this budding (sorry,
couldn't help it) new demographic. As a public librarian, I am
really not interested in banning or prohibiting use of the library
or drugs. If I was interested, I would have chosen another
profession.<br>
<br>
For instance, we finally got a medical marijuana book in our
Reference section. Now, I would like to know of more general
Reference materials to bring into the library for both recreational
users and those concerned about marijuana and its usage. Or, what
kind of programs, especially educational, are folks planning around
this new law. I believe Max is presenting something at OLA but is
anybody planning events for their actual library.<br>
<br>
In my experience, most behavioral issues I have to address in the
library revolve around alcohol use and/or mental issues unrelated to
drugs. The folks who stink like weed tend to be pretty nice. Maybe
this law will be good for us.<br>
<br>
I guess what I'm saying is if we have to talk about pot in this
forum, shouldn't the discussion be centered around what we will do
for these users? I'm not really interested in discriminating against
library users and I really don't care what drugs they use. I would
rather not know and prefer to remain neutral.<br>
<br>
I also agree with Buzzy in that I do not understand why marijuana is
being singled out as an issue for libraries. I think we should leave
that to the police who I doubt are very concerned about it these
days.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>

I mean--do you all check everyone's water bottles to

I am wondering what everyone is doing to provide patrons
with relevant, useful solid information about cannabis
use, medicinal cannabis use and the cannabis business.<br>
<br>
<br>
</div>
These are all questions librarians will be asked, and we
should have answers that don't revolve around sending
people to the DEA web site.<br>
<br>
</div>
People might want to think about serving human information
needs, then keeping people out of the library and "What if
they do this, or what if they do thats?" IMO</div>

<div>Many US veterans find PTSD relief from medicinal
cannabis.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Will you try to keep them out of your library if they
smoked or ingested cannabis hours before?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>How many hours/days must a person be sober before they
can enter the library? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What is the legal limit for being in the library?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>How will you be able to tell if someone's red eyes are
from an allergy or from being baked?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It seems like it would be a mistake to travel down the
routes of trying to figure these things out and sticking to
"illegal behavior."</div>

<div>You patrons have information needs about cannabis--how
will you help them with those needs?</div>

marijuana. Noncommercial exchanges of legal goods happen
all the time in our buildings. As long as there's no
illegal activity happening and it's not adversely
affecting library operations. It seems like you'd just
be making more work for yourself having to police it.<br>
<br>
Also, you might want to look into whether it's
permissible to forbid people from posting legal
marijuana-related content on your public bulletin
boards. At least when I looked it up,
publicly-accessible library bulletin boards fall under
the same "limited public forum" case law as public
meeting rooms.<span class=""><br>
