    Mom Charged For Giving Son Medical Marijuana

    Story

    I don't have any medical knowledge, but it sounds like it worked for the kid (he had brain trauma and nothing else worked). What's really ridiculous is that she got it legally in Colorado, and it was going to be legal in her state, but because it was not technically legal until some time in 2015, they're charging her.

    Here's another article from think progress.

    So she did something clearly illegal and that's ridiculous? I don't get it.

    And then there's the whole it's still illegal in all 50 states since fed > state law.

      Technically illegal. The prosecutors were just being dicks (and so was the jerkass who tattled on her).

        It's an unjust law. The laws aren't always right, and sometimes they need to be struck down.

          The prosecutors were doing their jobs and the "jerkass" who reported her clearly feels strong enough about people doing drugs that it was worth it to them. There are plenty of people in the world who still think we shouldn't hand out drugs like candy.

            And there are plenty of people who think it's none of the government's damn business what you put into your own body.

              I'm one of those who think the government should stop interfering with stuff like that. If someone is at home, kicking back, and watching TV or the like and they feel like lighting one up or eating a "special cookie", then more power to them.

              As to the OP, it sounds like the mother's heart was in the right place. I certainly couldn't blame her for wanting to do anything she could to help her son.

                So the jerkass is one of those goodie two shoe types who tattles on people and makes their lives miserable. Because obviously a mother who's treating her son is such a threat to society.

                  I can agree with this notion so long as, as with alcohol, it's done in a place of safety, i.e. not behind the wheel of a car.

                    Well, naturally. I think people should be able to do whatever they want as long as it doesn't harm anyone else. Once they're behind the wheel of a car though, that pretty much negates that last part.

                      Dude, do you even read links before you start yelling at them like Grampa Simpson?

                      She's not toking up with the kid, its medical marijuana, specifically cannabis oil to relieve chronic pain that's driving her child to suicidal tendencies. Cannabis is safer than opiods for treating chronic pain. It was recommended to her by a doctor for fuck sakes. Furthermore, CPS investigated and then closed the case after finding out why she was administering it.

                      So its only the fuck head county prosecutor and whomever tipped them off that have a problem with it and that problem is a technicality given the new law in the state. There is absolutely nothing to be gained by anyone in prosecuting her.

                      I've been wrestling with chronic pain for almost 2 years now and it was only 2 weeks ago I *finally* got a medication that worked on it. Absolutely nothing else did in terms of pain relief, conventional or prescription. I could have fucking cried when I took the first one of these and it finally started to go down to a dull roar.

                      I would not could not watch my child go through the same thing I am. So yes, fuck the person that told on her and fuck the country prosecutor for actually pursuing this.

                      Now stop yelling at that cloud.

                        That "fuck head county prosecutor" is just doing their job. It's not a prosecutor's job to determine guilt or innocence. If a prosecutor refuses to do their job, they should be fired. Don't agree with the laws? Don't put yourself in a position that will go against your morals. Nothing has been done wrong by the prosecutor and that should be pretty obvious to anyone who understands how that job works.

                        As for the person who feels weed is immoral, reporting someone for committing a felony is not a crime against humanity everyone here is making it out to be.

                          Yes, she really should have had the foresight not to have a child in pain. Bad call on her part.

                            No, its his job to decide whether or not a case is even worth pursuing though. What is the worth in pursuing this case? You think a jury is actually going to convict this woman? When even Child Protective Services disagrees with the charges? When a doctor recommended it in the first place?

                            Waste of taxpayer dollars.

                            You mean the law that the state decided to strike down? So they're only getting this woman on the technicality of being too soon out of the gate?

                            If a person thinks weed is immoral but letting a kid wallow in agony 24/7 while contemplating suicide is moral, that person is a fucking asshole. End of story.

                            Sorry, but your position here is morally indefensible.

                              Couldn't have said it better. I can't believe anyone can defend the prosecution. They are not only acting irrationally, but they are being cold hearted bastards.

                              As for the anonymous 'do gooder' who ratted the woman out, I would laugh my ass off if they got doxed.
