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.

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.

This whole story is just hype. It’s a non story.
DFACS came to the house for what reason? Something else going on. DFACS doesn’t randomly show up at peoples homes.
So they got a reckless conduct charge for giving weed to a minor. There’s alot worse the cops could have charged them with.
They will never do time and they’ll never end up paying a fine.
This whole thing is media hype.

What a piece of shite

Doesn't everyone involved in this, the police and DA, have something better to do? Geez.

Probably not. The intent of the new law is to allow for the use/testing of new drugs and medicine on terminally ill patients.
In this case, the kid is neither terminally ill, nor is marijuana a new or experimental drug.
They seemed to leave out or gloss over a lot of facts in this news story to garner sympathy for the parents. CBD oil is not expensive or difficult to obtain here in Georgia.
