Applying what you said to the instant case, how many times does this woman drive around stoned with her son? Is she stoned out of her mind at home with the child under her “protection”?

I don’t want to see a son lose a mom or a mom lose a son, but there are very SERIOUS questions for investigators to answer in their effort to protect a child who may be in danger. I wish them good luck and don’t envy any of them their job.

It can still be done though, under the 10th Amendment. Doesn't matter how rare they are. Follow the Constitution.

It's not even clear whether her cannabis oil has the stoned-making component THC, or only (as many oils do) only the non-psychoactive CBD.

If they screwed up any of the federal amendments, they need whacked for that. I don't know at this time if they did. I'm sure a lawyer will decide whether they did or not. The feds need to be put back in the tiny constitutional box they came in.

That does mean the 4th applies to the States.

Too many people want a government intrusive and powerful enough to dictate every last aspect of their lives, and that’s why we ended up with one.

People in this country in general need to learn the difference between “my business” and “not my business”.

Ironic how libs want government to regulate every aspect of our lives except the killing of unborn children, and Conservatives want goverment out of lives except when the issue concerns the personal use of cannibas.

Disgusting. To use a kid to get at their parents for something this trivial. If the kid talked about the body mom buried in the yard, I get it. But this is East German crap.
A child says something innocently. A teacher becomes an agent of the police state. The police swing into action. Every kid in that room learned a lesson.
Sickening that this should happen in America.

How do you know she’s a liberal? She was using the cannibas for a medical condition. Is anyone who uses cannibas for a medical condition a liberal?

No....If a parent and I use the term loosely here is stupid enough to educate and I use that loosely also the use of any drugs beyond aspirin or maybe ibuprofen for an elementary student then she deserves a little looking into....she should have kept “HER” habits completely away from her young child. Foolish to party up in front of your children...one of the many small sacrifices made in order for your children to develop a sound self-determined opinion as he or she grows into adult hood....they are your children not your friend....you will have the opportunity to become friends after they have reached adult hood but their needs to a separation during the learning years....stupid broad.

“I also suspect that the boy was never taught about state sovereignty and consequently had no clue that other states might not be like Colorado”

Well, now he’s learned about the concept of school teachers as informants of the state, the dangers of discussing his opinions openly, and jack booted thugs.

Who the hell takes a general discussion about something, and initiates a criminal investigation based on someone saying opposing the states current position? Can’t wait till they talk about guns one day at school. What happens when your kid mentions you let them shoot a 22 last weekend?

"Why didnt she use those 3 hours to flush the oil down the toilet?"

they probably waited there at the house with her, not allowing her out of their sight.

Yes, if she educated her child about her opinions beyond aspirin, she should be investigated. A little “looking into”.

So I’ve always wondered, do jackboots go completely over the calf, or are they shorter,, like a roper boot?

” They pulled my son out of school at about 1:40 in the afternoon and interrogated him. Police showed up at my house at 3”

Kid participated in a class discussion, that’s all. Police interrogated an 11 year old based on a class discussion, without the parents knowledge.
Anyone who lets their kids remain in that school needs their head examined.

How does the police get away with interrogating a kid without a parent or guardian?

Something is very wrong here.

People in Berkeley have a lot more issues than pot smoking. In fact, if you can find one of those barking Berkeley moonbats who isn’t regularly on at least 5 different drugs, including alcohol, it would be a miracle.
