1.10.2.9 : Freedom from Substance Abuse

As Christians we believe that life is full, abundant, and free in Jesus Christ. Therefore, we abstain from whatever damages, destroys, or distorts His life in us. Illicit drugs are prime offenders. The abuse of alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana products can have equal or greater destructive effects; thus, we encourage abstaining from the use of alcoholic beverages, tobacco, and marijuana products. Consequently, consumption of alcohol or use of tobacco and marijuana on Greenville University property or at sponsored events is prohibited. While enrolled in Greenville University, traditional undergraduate members of the community will abstain from the consumption of alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana products. Further, all members of the community are to refrain from the use of illegal drugs and substances, or the use of prescription drugs not authorized by a physician.
