This Minnesota Mom Could Go To Jail For Saving Her Son With Cannabis OilJoe Martino I broke the law, but I did it to save my son, Angela Brown said. She had traveled to Colorado to obtain the cannabis oil and brought it back to Minnesota where it is illegal. She administered the Cannabis oil safely to her son and the results were amazing. Her Sons Accident Angela Browns son Trey was a healthy kid, but a baseball accident in 2011 led to a build-up of pressure inside of his head. He was hit with a line drive to the head causing bleeding in his brain. At first, doctors were not sure if he was going to survive. They chose to induce a medical coma. When Trey finally awoke, he didnt appear to be the same kid according to his mother. I cry like every day before I go to bed, like my brain is about to blow up, cause there is so much pressure. Trey said. He began dealing with chronic pain, depression and difficult to control outbursts. His mother searched everywhere to try and help treat the effects of his injury. They went through 18 different medications and none of them worked. Treys mother felt that the effects of the medications even made her son suicidal. Then they found cannabis oil and everything was starting to turn around. Cannabis Oil Cannabis oil has been making news and headlines for a couple years in ways we may not expect. Cancer and Alzheimer treatments, helping to reduce seizures and replacing potentially harmful medications for many people. Cannabis, although holding a negative stigma, can be seen as a natural miracle substance in a way. It may hold the power to treat and potentially cure a lot of peoples serious diseases. In the case of Trey, cannabis oil helped to treat and bring quality of life back in a situation where all else was tried and didnt work. It stopped the pain and stopped the muscle spasms, Trey said. It was helping me go to school until it then got taken away and then school was really hard again. It was a miracle in a bottle.Angela Brown But Its Illegal In Many Places The miracle in a bottle didnt last for Angela and her son. When Treys teacher asked how he was doing better in school suddenly, Angela mentioned the oil. Well, I gave him an oil that wed gotten from Colorado, its derived from a marijuana plant. And then you could feel the tension in the room. It only took a week for the sheriffs department to confiscate the oil. Later, county officials charged Angela with child endangerment which required child protection to get involved. If she is convicted of her charges she could face up to two years in jail and $6000 in fines. Its asinine, I didnt hurt my son; I was trying to prevent him from being hurt. CBS News, who attained the interview with the family, took the time to reach out to the county prosecutor, law enforcement and Treys school district. All declined any form of interview about the case. The final killer in this story is that in May, Minnesota became the 22nd state to approve specific forms of medicinal marijuana. But the law doesnt go into effect until 2015. So, although this substance is already recognized as something that will become legal very soon, helping her son get better is still a crime. Why Do We Deny Things That Work? You might ask yourself why this type of thing could even happen. Are we really that disconnected as a society? Sure one could argue we dont have the necessary data to state whether or not cannabis oil could have negative effects over time, but the crazy thing is we do have the data that states our medications we so often prescribe have nasty side effects, even after short periods of use. So why is one illegal and the other not? The easy answer is due to social conditioning and stigma. The deeper answer could go into the realm of business, profit and control. It is often argued that many aspects of the medical system are set up to create life-long patients versus properly treating and curing patients. Although cannabis is finally becoming legal in more places across the world, there is still resistance when it comes to the potential treatment and curing ability the natural plant can have on many serious diseases. With clinical trials finally on the go with brain cancer patients, the next year of study for cannabis oil could be monumental to the health of our world.
