<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><font face="Verdana">Here are the
relevant parts of our Code of Conduct.<br>
<br>
</font>
<ul>
<li><font face="Verdana">"Do not smoke or use tobacco products."</font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana">"Do not consume alcohol, unless
permitted as part of library programming, or be
intoxicated."</font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana">"In addition to the above, any
violation of local, state, or federal statutes will be
regarded as a violation of District rules."</font></li>
</ul>
<font face="Verdana"><br>
We interpret "smoke" as smoking anything: cigarettes, joints,
e-cigarettes, banana peels, whatever. We also forbid smoking and
tobacco products anywhere on District property, including on the
grounds. "Intoxicated" includes being under the influence of the
wide range of legal and illegal drugs.<br>
<br>
It seems like the law already forbids smoking or consuming
marijuana in public anyway. I agree with Kirsten that simple
possession of products someone legally can have isn't really an
issue. If it doesn't result in behavioral issues, it doesn't
seem like it's worth worrying about.<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>
Buzzy<br>

missed it. I may have been busy reading ‘The Martian.’<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Most of us have in our policies and codes
of conduct something about not using ‘alcohol and other
illegal substances.’ As we all know, on July 1 marijuana no
longer fits that second category. Yes, the law as written
prohibits lighting up in public, but we need to consider…<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">-A 21 year old hanging out in/near the teen
area with a joint tucked behind each ear. Anybody comfortable
with that?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-Anyone vaping 10 feet from your
exits/entrances could be consuming massive amounts of THC.<o:p></o:p></p>

lead cataloger… or the bong a volunteer brought in to show a
friend.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">My plan is to go through my policy manual
and add ‘and other intoxicants’ anywhere we talk about
alcohol, and to flat out ban marijuana (and other THC
products) and any tool used to consume it from the library
grounds.<o:p></o:p></p>
