angela brown, gave her son cannabis oil to treat the effects of his traumatic brain injury. this medication worked to a level nothing else could. those in the community were amazed and asked why her son was doing so well. she told them about a product she picked up in colorado at the recommendation of several doctors. then the cops sent a social worker to her door. she is now facing jail time on charges of child endangerment for making her son better. so, now, perhaps trey has to suffer not only without medication, but without a mother.
late in august, charges were filed, and fox news reported that she could be facing up to two years in prison and $6000 in fines from the misdemeanor charges. angela admitted to the social worker that she was using cannabis oil and handed it over to authorities. what's less convenient still is that minnesota has allowed for various forms of medicinal marijuana to be implemented in july 2015, at which time it is possible that trey would apply for benefits under the new law. last may, when the new law was signed by governor dayton, he said, “i thank everyone who worked together to craft and pass this legislation...i pray it will bring to the victims of ravaging illnesses the relief they are hoping for.” as for the eventuality of the law and the bold move of angela just going for the relief now that it has been acknowledged to be beneficial and recommended, in the words of trey's father david brown, "why would you wait? why would you wait a year?" instead, the family plans to leave minnesota for colorado.
according to collective evloution, "cannabis oil has been making news and headlines for a couple years in ways we may not expect: cancer and alzheimer treatments, helping to reduce seizures and replacing potentially harmful medications for many people. cannabis, although holding a negative stigma, can be seen as a natural miracle substance in a way. it may hold the power to treat and potentially cure a lot of people’s serious diseases ... are we really that disconnected as a society? sure one could argue we don’t have the necessary data to state whether or not cannabis oil could have negative effects over time, but the crazy thing is we do have the data that states our medications we so often prescribe have nasty side effects, even after short periods of use. so why is one illegal and the other not? the easy answer is due to social conditioning and stigma." and profit, the article goes on to add.
despite the supposed bias and stigma of marijuana, a poll on the HLN website in advance of angela's appearance on the dr. drew show october 6, showed that 96% thought angela should not be charged with any crime. the brown's have a donation page on gofundme.com for people wishing to contribute to their legal bills.
