Mark Emmert, the president of college sports’ governing body, said he doesn’t expect schools to change rules on drug use even after Washington and Colorado voters legalized the recreational use of marijuana in those states.
Washington will allow those at least 21 years old to buy as much as one ounce (28 grams) of marijuana from a licensed retailer. Colorado’s law allows possession of an ounce, and permits growing as many as six plants in private, secure areas. Oregon voters rejected a similar measure.
