Mother Who Used Medical Cannabis to Treat Deadly Disease Had Her Son Taken Away, Faces 28 Years in Prison

Shona Banda's drug-war nightmare comes from using cannabis oil to treat her Crohn's disease.

You don't want to be a medical marijuana patient in Kansas. You could face, arrest, prosecution, imprisonment, and the loss of your children. Just ask Shona Banda, who endured the latest chapter of her ordeal Monday.

The Garden City mother faces five marijuana-related charges, including three felonies, and had her 11-year-old son taken away by the state after the boy piped up during an anti-drug class at school to say that his mom "smokes a lot."

She should have moved first if she was going to use medical marijuana. It isn't legal in Kansas. She's not far from Colorado.

Crohn's causes a chronic level of pain Too bad she did not factor the Child's welfare in her activism ..they knew full well what she is up to before his comments

"Shona Banda uses marijuana, and makes no bones about it. She has publicly said she uses cannabis oil to treat her Crohn's disease and even authored a book about it: Live Free or Die: Reclaim Your Life…Reclaim Your Country!"

Don't you love how the state jumped on an innocent comment by the son to take this course of action against his parent? Nazi tactis still work.

Crohn's is a horrible disease to live with. This is just so wrong.
