Charge Dropped Against Minnesota Mom Facing Jail For Giving Son Cannabis Oil

Editor's Note: This news from Marijuana.com is music to my ears. At least we are seeing some justice for the Browns … and coincidentally on the day that we announced the American Academy of Pedicatrics issued a policy statement recommending the DEA reschedule marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule II drug, making it federally legal for a registered medical practitioner to prescribe marijuana to anyone. Positive change is happening.


Last August, we reported the sad news that a Minnesota mother was charged with two misdemeanors that would leave her subject to fines up to $6,000 and to a two-year jail term. Fortunately, last Wednesday, a Minnesota judge dismissed the more serious of those two charges levied against Angela Brown for giving her ill 15-year-old son cannabis oil.

Brown no longer faces the child endangerment charge, but still faces a charge “of contributing to the need for child protection,” at least for the time being. From both a legal and moral standpoint, here’s why the first charge was dropped:

In the ruling, Van Hon agreed with the defense’s argument that Brown’s decision to administer a medical cannabis oil to her son did not constitute the “sale” of a controlled substance as is intended by the law that was charged against her.
