Among the booths of sororities, fraternities, religious groups, teams and clubs was a booth that was not sanctified by Sacramento State during rush week.

CleverTree, a new medical marijuana delivery service in Sacramento, occupied that space. The business was set up at a booth on campus Jan. 27 and 28 notifying students of its services.

“We did not get permission from the school to be there, but our goal was to spread awareness to any medical marijuana patients that are students,” said a representative for CleverTree.

Sac State police chief Mark Iwasa said only people given permission are allowed to set up booths anywhere on campus.

“Nobody can vend here without permission, that’s any product, not just marijuana,” Iwasa said.

Macie Li, student assistant for Student Organizations and Leadership, said whoever wants to booth on campus has to go through her department.

Li said CleverTree never contacted the department to request a space for its booth. She also said, had they made the formal request, the answer would’ve been no.

“The first two weeks of school are reserved for students,” Li said.

Even with recent change in law for states like Colorado and Washington, marijuana remains illegal to smoke on campuses nationwide.

“Marijuana is not allowed to be brought or utilized here on campus,” said Iwasa. “So to the extent that someone is ordering it and having it delivered, that is also against campus policy. It’s subject to criminal and administrative action.”

CleverTree is a mobile friendly website with the aim to connect patients to legitimate medical marijuana dispensaries.

Only authorized medical marijuana patients will be able to access the app. In order to sign up, CleverTree requires patients to input a patient ID number and submit a copy of their drivers license as proof of identification.

“Regardless of the method of delivery, we don’t specifically have any policy that’s directed against this operation, it’s just any method of delivery is not allowed here,” Iwasa said. “If they would like to contact me directly, I’d be happy to have a conversation with them about our policies.”

Iwasa also shared his frustration regarding the group breaking other university policies including putting up stickers around campus and in the residence halls.

“We notified them that they are not allowed to put stickers or otherwise deface any property here on campus. Simple as that,” Iwasa said. “We want the campus to run smoothly without disruption.”
