Requires New Jersey Student Learning Standards in Comprehensive Health and Physical Education include content on risks of cannabis and marijuana use.

Summary

The bill directs the Department of Education, in partnership with the Division of Addiction Services, to add cannabis‑related content to the state’s Comprehensive Health and Physical Education standards for grades 3‑12. It affects all public‑school students by ensuring they receive age‑appropriate instruction on the health, safety, and social aspects of marijuana use. The goal is to fill a gap in current substance‑abuse education, which already covers other drugs but not cannabis.
