Medical marijuana advocates protest removal of Lansing baby
The case of a 6-month-old Lansing girl who was removed from her parents after a complaint involving medical marijuana has become a rallying point for groups aligned behind the state’s 5-year-old medical marijuana law.
... Acting on a petition by Children’s Protective Services caseworkers, an Ingham County Family Court referee on Friday ordered the infant removed from her parents’ home because her mother — a registered medical marijuana caregiver — had marijuana in the house, the groups said.
The referee said the marijuana creates a dangerous situation because “someone with a gun could break in,” Steve Green said.
... Gholson said she is aware of about 20 cases over the past year in which caseworkers disregarded protections in the medical marijuana law while trying to remove children.
