The Princeton Reviews is a college admissions company in the United States of America that offers admission resources, test preparation sources as well as surveys on the American colleges. Every August, they release their survey of the best 382 colleges in America. In their diverse surveys, we have a category that they refer to as ‘Reefer Madness’ Schools. Basically, this is a category for the schools that have a high affinity for marijuana. This article aims at shedding a light on the 2017 list.
University of Vermont
Last year, the institution was ranked at position 4. This university has gone a notch higher in helping blaze the trail towards marijuana acceptance in academics. It has even introduced a range of college-level training and coursework on marijuana. However, under the Vermont laws, weed is still illegal here although lots of students secretly smoke in their dorms. The school is located in Burlington VT and has an enrollment of 11159.
Ithaca College
At number two is this college based in Ithaca, New York. It had previously held the number one spot. It is one of the colleges that smokes the most weed in America. The SDDP (students for sensible drug policy) in Ithaca managed to get a ‘medical amnesty’ for alcohol and other drugs such as weed.
