RE: Parents Arrested, Lose Custody of Son After Giving Him Cannabis to Treat Seizures [Steemit Exclusive]

in #news7 years ago

His stepfather, Matthew Brill, says he would test the cannabis himself it before giving it to the teenager.

LOL, what a mensch. Too bad they didn't try 50 state legal CBD oil before deciding to break the law. It's a stupid law but they still have it so breaking it is stupid. They could always go to a state where it is legal. If Georgia has a ballot referendum process they should put it up to the people there to vote on.

Sort:  

I personally think it's a bit heartless to suggest that parents should refrain from helping relieve their children's debilitating suffering because some old-fashioned, authoritarian politicians threaten to throw them in a cage for using a plant. I see this subservience to "the law" as a main problem in why we can't be free and the government is so out of control. Also, it's extremely difficult to obtain medical-grade legal CBD in Georgia; you have to pay for a medical license and then there is no supply.

you can buy it online, where did I suggest that parents should refrain from helping relieve their children's debilitating suffering because some old-fashioned, authoritarian politicians threaten to throw them in a cage for using a plant? If you don't like the law you are free to work to change it or to go to somewhere that the law is more to your liking, you can be as free as you want. So could these people but they didn't do things the right way.

Sorry but no. This mentality is EXACTLY the problem.

Is it? Or was the problem here that people choose not to comply with the law and then cried about it when they got busted?
Is the solution to bad laws to break them or to try to change them?
