Forum News Service: Tom Cherveny

Angela Brown of Madison, Minn., has signed off on an agreement that will lead to the dismissal of a child endangerment charge against her for giving her 15-year-old son cannabis oil to treat his seizures and pain from a traumatic brain injury.

Brown said her attorney, Michael Hughes of Bend, Ore., informed her a week ago that he and Lac qui Parle County Attorney Rick Stulz worked out an agreement that will allow for a "continuance for dismissal'' of the child endangerment charge. If she pays a $100 court fee and has no violations for 90 days, the gross misdemeanor charge will be dropped.

Brown said she signed the agreement Thursday and expected it to be entered in court by the Lac qui Parle County attorney.

Brown had been set to stand trial on the charge Wednesday.

"I was shell-shocked and actually upset; he's getting exactly what he wants,'' said Brown of her initial reaction when asked by her attorney if she would OK the agreement.

Brown learned of the agreement while in the Twin Cities on April 10 for the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival and the debut showing of "Pot (The Movie),'' which documents the fight for medical marijuana, and in which she appears.

By approving the agreement, Brown said she spares her son Trey the trauma of having to testify in the trial. The prosecution intended to subpoena Trey, according to Brown. She said it would have been traumatic for her son to have to testify.

She said her attorney filed statements from her son's medical provider warning of the harm it could cause him.

Brown was charged in June with child endangerment after surrendering a small amount of cannabis oil to law enforcement. The family had traveled to Colorado to obtain the oil to treat Trey. He suffered the traumatic brain injury when he was struck by a baseball at age 11.

Brown and her husband, David, believe their son would be eligible to receive the cannabis oil when use of medical cannabis for some medical conditions becomes legal in Minnesota on July 1.

The legal fight has been a financial blow to the family, and the ordeal very stressful for the parents and their three children, Brown said. They have been fearful that she would be taken away and put in prison. She and her husband have a gofundme.com fundraising site to accept funds for their medical and other costs, and now the costs to move to a new home.

Brown said they have decided to move to Colorado where David has accepted a position with his former employer, the Corrections Corporation of America.

The ordeal has put Angela Brown into the limelight as a spokeswoman for those calling for laws to allow for the use of medical cannabis.

Her family's story is part of the newly released documentary film, and Brown has appeared on national television programs to tell it.

While it has been difficult for her family, she believes the ordeal has served some good in that she has been able to call attention to the issue. She remains committed to it.

"I'm going to continue to fight. It's not done,'' she said.

You're furious that the kid is getting medicine…?

Why should I be furious?

That Angela Brown “self-medicates” her son with a marijuana strain rich in cannabidiol (CBD) that “can increase the risk of serious psychiatric disorders and long-term cognitive problems” is her personal problem and one her conscious has to deal with under the laws in her state.

If she feels she is capable of prescribing medication for her son, then she probably also feels she can handle any “harmful effects from these CBD-rich marijuana extracts” that takes hold on her son. It is up to her to totally disregard the messages from the “scientists and physicians who have been quick to warn of the dangers of the marijuana extract because CBD use in people with epilepsy has yet to be clinically evaluated.

If she wants to say “screw you” to the “FDA for having classified the cannabidiol” she is giving her son as “a Schedule 1 drug, the strictest level of regulation for a controlled substance”….then she can say, “screw you FDA.”

Why should I be furious?

… and not suffering?
Research suggests medical marijuana could reduce seizures in children”….nowhere has any evidence whatsoever been presented that cannabidiol “prevents” seizures in children.

The first-of-a-kind drug being developed from marijuana plants specifically to treat early childhood epilepsy is epidiolex….derived from cannabidiol. The FDA approved a series of clinical trials to test Epidiolex’s efficacy to treat epilepsy. “The research revealed that more than 50 percent of the 137 epileptic children and young adults continually treated with Epidiolex over a period of three months saw a reduction in their seizures.”

Furthermore, there is no evidence presented anywhere that cannabidiol cures the causes of seizures, prevents reoccurrence of seizures, or alleviates all pain and suffering resulting from seizures.

Tell me, “Doctor Hondo”….how you know her son is “not suffering.”

Epidiolex

They don't want your ObamaCare prescription! How much stock do you own in this ObamaCare Epidiolex?

It's an herb that's been under evaluation for thousands of years. Big Pharma and the FDA ignore the research because they don't hold a patent on this natural God given product.

Interesting theory. Gatslime does like to brag about his stock portfolio.

It wouldn't surprise me if that's one of the companies he is invested in.

He'll never get it - his mantra is : "Big Government/Big Pharma" GOOD, Parents deciding how to best treat their children - BAD.

He'll never get it - his mantra is :
"Big Government/Big Pharma" GOOD,
Parents deciding how to best treat their children - BAD.
Speaking about “parents deciding how to best treat their children” …
There is the case where two young children died after their parents refused to treat them with medicine. They believed only in faith-healing. After the second child dies, Philadelphia Judge Benjamin Lerner told the couple: “You’ve killed two of your children…not God, not your church, not religious devotion — you.” He then sentenced Herbert and Catherine Schaible to between three and a half and seven years behind bars. At the time of the second death, the couple were on a 10-year probation for the death of their first child. About a dozen U.S. children die each year when parents turn to faith healing instead of medicine,

Then there is the case where the 1-year-old infant girl died when her family attempted a home remedy for head lice. They slathered mayonnaise on her hair and scalp and then placed a plastic shopping bag over her head. Several hours passed during which the girl was left unattended. When the family discovered she was not breathing, they called the police.

There are other cases of the same nature with the same horrific results

So you say … with tongue in cheek:
Parents deciding how to best treat their children - BAD.
I say, you betcha….far too many times!!! And I ask you: “Who never gets it?”
