[Wyewood] Update to society policy

[Ruslund Geyer]

An important update to Society rules on marijuana usage at events was
recently announced: 

Seneschal's Handbook Update - 2013 Marijuana Policy Interpretation

The Board of Directors has removed the 2013 Marijuana Policy Interpretation
from the Seneschal's handbook. The SCA will alternatively utilize the
following language located within Corpora in section I. A. 2.
Despite the use of the word "law" to describe the operating documents of its
regional branches, the Society recognizes the absolute precedence of law
issued by civil authorities over any of its internal rules. The SCA, Inc. as
a corporate person, along with all of its members as citizens, must obey the
law of whatever jurisdictions apply to them in exactly the same fashion as
all other corporations or citizens in those jurisdictions.
Where marijuana consumption is legal for recreational use, all local and/or
state laws should be followed and its usage should be treated similarly to
alcohol and tobacco. Additionally, where marijuana consumption is legal for
medical use, all local and/or state laws should be followed to conform to
those regulations as well. Participants within the SCA should always observe
courtesy with their use of any product that produces smoke or vapor. Both
tobacco and marijuana smoke can be harmful to others and exposure to
second-hand smoke is a health risk we should not impose on others.
Anyone having any questions regarding this policy should contact the Society
Seneschal for more information.
Comments are strongly encouraged and can be sent to:
SCA Inc.
Box 360789
Milpitas, CA 95036
You may also email comments at lists.sca.org.
This announcement is an official informational release by the Society for
Creative Anachronism, Inc. Permission is granted to reproduce this
announcement in its entirety in newsletters, websites and electronic mailing
lists.
