A Kansas mother who uses marijuana to treat a debilitating disease has lost custody of her 11-year-old son at least temporarily and could face possible charges following comments the boy made during an anti-drug education program at school. The case of Shona Banda, 37, was forwarded on Monday to the Finney County district attorney's office for a decision about charges, Garden City Police Capt. Randy Ralston said. Possible charges include possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia and child endangerment. No arrests have been made. Medical marijuana activist Shona Banda, 37, has said she will continue to fight for custody of her 11-year-old son after Kansas authorities placed the boy into protective custody . The divorced Garden City mother said she did not get custody of her son back following a hearing on Monday in Finney County District Court, after Kansas authorities had placed the boy into protective custody. 'That's OK — I am not giving up,' Banda said. 'I will, I will get him and I am not going to stop until I do.' Banda, a motivational speaker and author on the medical marijuana issue, has been at the center of a social media storm after she went public with her story. Several supporters rallied on Monday at a park near the courthouse. 'It is a hot topic all across the United States,' Ralston said of the social media attention. 'It doesn't surprise me.' Banda is the author of a book 'Live Free or Die: Reclaim your Life . . . Reclaim your Country!' that recounts her use of a concentrated cannabis oil to treat Crohn's Disease. A gag order has since been issued in the custody case, Banda said. Banda wrote a book that detailed how she used cannabis oil to treat her debilitating Crohn's disease . Police asked to enter the activist's house (pictured), but she denied them entry until they arrived with a warrant . Banda's legal problems began on March 24 when police were called to her son's school for a child welfare check following a drug and alcohol presentation. Investigators allege the boy told school officials that his mother and other adults in his home were avid drug users and that there was a lot of drug use occurring at the home. Banda refused to allow officers to search the home, and police stayed at the scene and denied her entry to it until they could obtain a search warrant. A search subsequently found about 1¼ pounds of marijuana and a lab for manufacturing cannabis oil on the kitchen table and counters, drug paraphernalia and other related items, police said. Authorities said the items were within easy reach of the child. Video posted on YouTube shows the officers standing in her backyard (left) and denying Banda entry into her home (right) because she may have disturbed evidence . 'The most important thing here is the child's well-being,' Ralston said. 'That is why it is a priority for us, just because of the danger to the child.' Authorities took the boy into protective custody and placed him with his father, Ralston said. But when the boy ended back with his mother again, authorities then took the boy back into protective custody. 'For him to have spoken up in class I can't be upset about because he hears me daily on the phone talking with people, encouraging people to speak up and speak out,' she told Ben Swann of her son. A Go Fund Me page has raised more than $28,000 for Banda's legal defense. Fifty-three percent of Americans now say the use of marijuana should be legal, an all-time high in CBS News polling; 43 percent think it should not be legal.
