During a medical appointment the following day, Madyson tested positive for marijuana. At this point, the doctor – acting as an agent of the state, rather than a physician bound by Hippocratic ethics to protect his patients – contacted the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, which seized Kelsey’s children.

Big, BIG mistake on Miss Osborne's part. Anyone who values both freedom and the sanctity and health of their own body (or those of their loved ones) should know by now that these state-sanctioned drug and death dealers are a de facto arm of the Polizeistaat and are to be avoided accordingly except in all but the most dire of emergencies (and even then with trepidation and reluctance).

Natural healing homeopathic practitioners are a growing (if still largely underground) profession who should be getting much more attention and business than they are. For anyone in Kelsey Osborne's situation, these are the people who offer the best hope of treating what ails them or their children without risking death at the hands of the Pharmaceutical-Industrial Complexes licensed dealers/whores.

These crimes by government thugs are so extreme that I'm coming around to the conclusion that being "horsewhipped" isn't sufficient punishment. It seems more appropriate that they be shot on sight. After a few are left lying in a pool of blood, perhaps the rest would see the light and stop trying to run everyone's lives. If not, let them join the queue and take their turns.

"...providing medicinal cannabis to a child is only a “crime” if this is done in a way that circumvents state-approved gatekeepers."

"If Idaho were the state it pretends to be..."

power and hypocrisy: the 'attributes' of the modern state, regardless of the level of 'govt' one views.

Great article proving once again what your excellent writings have demonstrated so ably and so often: Government cannot be reformed, it can only be abolished. Now there are many explanations on the internet as to why careerist bureaucrat Harry Anslinger sought to criminalize marijuana: One is that the alcohol Prohibition bureaucracy at the Treasury Department was being forced out of business by the 21st Amendment and Anslinger sought to transform and rebrand his bureaucratic fiefdom as anti marijuana. A second argues that Anslinger feared jazz music was corrupting white youth and since the black musicians who created jazz stoked their musical creativity by using marijuana, Anslinger reasoned that shutting off the marijuana supply would shut down the production of jazz. A third quotes Anslinger as saying "....Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men." The third one is most fascinating and admits of analysis. Anslinger is, willy nilly, conceding the fact that it is government itself which sees itself as having the obligation to both impress on blacks the understanding of themselves as subhuman and at the same time monitor blacks for signs blacks are throwing off, rejecting, or calling into question the assignment of such subhuman status. Marijuana is a threat for Anslinger to the extent that it enables blacks to gain a consciousness of their government assigned and government enforced status as subhuman. It is only in the late 1960s when overt racist policy became a problem for the political class in the US, and one need only think of the riots in Newark and Watts and Detroit, that the justification for criminalizing marijuana had to be reworked and revised along medical rather than racial lines.
