A number of states, including Illinois, have passed laws that make the use of cannabis for some medical conditions legitimate under the law of that state. Furthermore, beginning January 1, 2020 the state of Illinois made non-medicinal use of cannabis legal at the state-level for those over the age of 21. However, the possession or use of cannabis remains an offense under the Controlled Substances Act, a federal law.

Loyola University Chicago is obligated to comply with all federal laws and regulations. In order to remain in compliance, Loyola will not permit the possession or use of cannabis at educational or other activities sponsored, conducted, or authorized by Loyola or its student organizations, whether on or off campus, in any on campus housing, or in any other Loyola buildings or other property.

201(19) Smoking and Tobacco Products (A)
Use of all tobacco products is prohibited on all campus properties. This includes interior spaces on Loyola’s campuses (Lake Shore, Water Tower, Health Sciences, LUREC, Cuneo Mansion & Gardens, and John Felice Rome Center); including the outdoor property or grounds controlled and/or maintained by Loyola at these campuses, as well as all University-owned or leased vehicles; and all outdoor athletic facilities, including Hoyne Field. Tobacco is defined to include lighted cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos, pipes, hookah products, cannabis, smokeless/spit or spitless/dissolvable/inhaled tobacco products, dip, chew, snuff, snus in any form (orbs, sticks, pellets, etc.). Nicotine products not approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a smoking cessation product are all prohibited.

Electronic smoking devices (e.g. e-cigarettes, vaporizers, or “vapes”) or any electronic product that can be used to simulate smoking are prohibited as well and are treated the same as regular cigarettes for the purposes of all University policies, unless tampered with or intended for use with illicit drugs (in which case, see §201(6) Drugs).
Individuals who choose to smoke on public property near campus locations must do so in compliance with existing public ordinances. In Chicago, you must comply with ordinance No. 7-32 to maintain a distance of 15-feet from any University building opening (e.g. doors, windows, ventilation intakes, etc.). All cigarette butts shall be disposed of in ashtrays.

Students are prohibited from selling, buying for, distributing samples of, or furnishing any tobacco product to persons under the age of 21.
