More on Marijuana and Public Housing

My friend Dana sent me this link about eviction of a Section 8 tenant in Colorado for marijuana use. Interestingly, use of marijuana is legal in Colorado (as contrasted with a civil infraction in Massachusetts) but can still be a ground for termination of Section 8 benefits. Plainly, the decriminalization/legalization of pot will continue to present challenges to public housing authorities and Section 8 administrators throughout the country.
