Can’t wait for the resident FReeper JBT drug war bootlickers to chime in on this one ...
There is a lot of passion on both sides, isn’t there? Considering all the problems the country is facing, cracking down on people using an herb seems silly.
A woman in Appleton, Minnesota was charged with child endangerment for using cannabis oil on her teenage son. He has a traumatic brain injury and the oil was the only thing that eased his pain. Considering that the alternative is pain killers that are based on synthetic heroin(to which a family member of mine is addicted), an herbal oil seems to be the safer choice.
What a ridiculous waste of resources for social services, sheriff dept, court system, etc. But the timing was shortly before medical marijuana became legal and all of these agencies adhered to the absolute letter of the law.
They're heeeere!
How about those who are seeing more and more marijuana related issues in the ER? Or those who have kids with substance abuse problems who now think its OK to spend their life stoned? I’m not a JBT but I hate the damage this law has done to my patients and my family.
I’m spending a great deal of my retirement trying to adopt my grandaughter away from her drug addled parents - started with marijuana now on IV meth and cocaine. Drug use is not a victimless crime.
