put this on poli board, but thought it would be worth posting here as well
dammit Georgia, get your shite together
question for any of the legal minds on here - could a challenge be mounted against this based on the new "Right to Try" law?

Parents of teenage boy face prison, fines for treating his seizures with marijuana
quote:
Two Georgia parents are facing fines and prison time for allegedly giving their 15-year-old son marijuana to treat his seizure disorder, authorities said.
Suzeanna and Matthew Brill of Macon were arrested in April on reckless conduct charges after an investigation by the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services determined the pair had allowed their son, David, to smoke marijuana to deal with the seizures, Twiggs County Sheriff Darren Mitchum said in a press conference Thursday.
The couple began giving their son marijuana in February, Steve Sadow, who is representing the family pro bono, told ABC News.
“That was the last ditch effort. They had tried all the medical treatments and pharmaceuticals recommended or prescribed,” Sadow said.

here was a really good point made in the PT thread by LSUpimp LINK / :

I agree completely with a caveat. My best friend growing up began to get stoned regularly with his Dad at age 13. It fricked him up for a lifetime. That’s why you have to have some kind of ground rules, because for every legitimate situation there is another case of child abuse via drug use. This is the kind of thing a prosecutor should just throw out.
weed for medicinal purposes should be a no brainer for everyone; but I do understand that there are principled arguments on the other side

I wonder if there's more to the story (I'm sure there is) because CBD oil is already legal in GA for treatment of conditions like seizures. It's the CBD that they think helps more in AED-resistant elileptics than the actual THC anyways.
That being said, the case is pretty ridiculous.

I'm more stunned by how this is such a trendy issue with so much interest considering the bigger picture.
You can start a thread about how many wars and occupations we are simultaneously waging around the globe, or start a thread about how this country is $22 trillion dollars in debt and climbing, or start a thread about how evil villains are successfully using mass migration to erase and neuter the west since it's the last remaining bulwark to their global commie control system.....but those threads would all get crickets or shrugged shoulders.
Start a weed "oppression" thread though..... and you'll get page after page of outrage and feinting spells. SIYG'e

It’s “trendy” because it’s a no brainer and the arguments in defense of the laws currently on the books are weak at best.

As always, big government loving Jefferson brings the ignorance to the thread.

What is fricked up, is that cannabis is legal in GA medically. Originally there were 8 specific cases where weed can be prescribed, and then later, "Senate bill 16", allowed for 6 additional conditions to be treated by cannabis.
Seizures is even one of the conditions that can be treated with cannabis, but the fricked up part, is how can a patient get this medicine? GA does not produce any medical marijuana for its approved patients, which can have up to 20 oz of low THC (less than .05%), so they must cross state lines to obtain the medicine, which is a felony to cross state lines with this specific medicine. The only other option is to buy it off the black market and good luck trying to find some kind bud with less than 5% THC.
Also Colorado is paving the way for all the states, as they have profited over a billions of dollars since the legality of it, all the while with providing more money for the schools, while reducing pain pill prescriptions (opiate epidemic) and alcohol sales. Plus not over filling the jail/prisons for people who use weed.

Weed could be a massive industry in this area. I would love to see Georgia get medical shops open soon.

Shoot, one of the men in the republican primaries for governor has a commercial with a truck to round up illegals. I can't see Georgia serving alcohol on Sundays before 1230 PM in the next decade, let alone legalizing recreational marijuana/allowing for dispensaries

Georgia is known for lagging behind on social issues. This is nothing surprising... and as long as it is controlled by gun totin' bible thumpin' republicans the state will never make progress. Which surprises me because Atlanta (and without saying Athens) is pretty progressive.

Thanks DGD! This might be the perfect example of the freakishly common trendy weed virtue-signal. Let's cut it open and see what's in there...
Anatomy of a Trendy Weed Virtue-Signal:
1)Brush over the illegal immigration, globalization, borders issue like it's something only ignorant backwards rednecks are bothered or affected by. (Even though Georgia is the 7th most illegal immigrant infested state in the union. With literally, 1 in 10 of it's people here illegaly). And then....
2) Paint weed as an issue that only the select enlightened, mega-righteous and intelligent, forward thinking people support and understand.
And boom. Abrah ka dabrah, zippity doooo!...…. Instant virtue and cool dudeness and enlightenment, all based on your trendy view of a fricking plant without having to do or think about anything else. You are now in the cool club.

Man it’s been too long since I got a Jefferson reply. Feels good, man.

DGD, Let’s get into the contradictions and hypocrisy of the virtue signal now...
Do you have locks on the doors at your house or maybe some border walls, fences or gates? Or do you just allow anyone off the street to come and go or set up residence as they please? Either way, I’m sure you’re aware that you have the right to kick people out off your property if they are there without your permission, correct?
What you can’t do though, is tell them they can’t eat refried beans or tacos, and that if they do, you’ll put chains on them and lock them up in a cage, right? Because you don’t have the right to tell another person what they can or can’t put in their body, right?
You see where I’m going?
If you don’t have the natural right to do something, then the government can’t legitimately be assigned the right to do it.
Weed should be legal because the government has no right to tell you what plant smoke you can and can’t inhale. That’s tyranny if they do that. But the government can legitimately enforce the people’s immigration laws and kick illegal trespassers out....because just as you have the right to protect your home from trespassers, the people have the legitimate right to form a government contract to have them protect the countries borders from trespassers. And remove them. Just like you would do if one of them broke in your home.
But, you only agree with one of these. Worse, you think one issue is for ignorant rednecks and the other for enlightened mega-intelligent progressive cool guys. When you yourself are the one being ignorant.
DGD, you’re a smart guy unlike Tarzan and gatorhater, so I’d honestly like to know if any of this longwinded post makes any sense to you. Over.

such a trendy issue with so much interest
It's trendy because in 2018 it is still illegal to possess a plant. A plant that was made illegal in a large part due to racism. A plant that can save lives and has clear medical benefits.
The concerning thing is that there are still mouth breathing troglodytes that think the plant should be illegal because they believe their pastor more than scientists. What's more concerning is that 40% of Americans don't believe in evolution. Those are the same people out there trying to keep marijuana illegal.

Thanks for highlighting the other reason it's such a super hip trendy cool duder pet-issue...
Which is that it's the perfect way to paint yourself as a Victim. So that you too can participate in the trendy new outrage culture. Where everyone is defensleless vitctim persecuted and bullied by ignorant boogie men.
Ha ha ha. Ha ha. Just look at how you used trendy weed persecution outrage/victim culture to bring up evolution and religion. Ha ha ha ha.

You have the reading comprehension skills a
of about a 3rd grader. Never once did I even mention myself, let alone paint myself as the victim. I do not even use marijuana and the issue has nothing to do with me. The victims are the kids out there suffering from seizures that could easily be cured with THC derivatives. But we have politicians that fight to keep marijuana illegal, despite scientific evidence of its benefits. I am sorry that you brain is unable to comprehend the situation.

I brought up religion and evolution because there is a positive correlation. Religious Americans are 58% less likely to support marijuana legalization. Sorry the facts bother you so much.

See taking that approach won't solve anything. 100% truth. If you really want to stop the problem of having illegals working in this country, then you need to fine/arrest the businesses that employees the illegals instead of hiring US citizens and giving them a fair wage. If you just arrest or deport the illegals and never address the main issue of the businesses that hire them, then the problem will never be solved. Of course everyone wants to ignore that side of the problem.

No, my reading comprehension is just fine. I'm reading and comprehending your outrage and feinting spells loud and clear, in fact.
All of it over the trendy cool-dude weed issue. When it's a meaningless mimniscule form of tyranny when placed in the context of the other far more destructive AND DEADLY examples of tyranny occurring daily. Of which the trendy weed feinters couldn't care less about.
You never hear a peep from them or you on any of those issues. No no no. But, my God..... when the super mega-important issue of fricking stupid arse weed comes up, let the outrage and feinting spells begin. Too. fricking. Funny.
