Michigan Medical Marijuana Patients Breathe a Sigh of Relief: BREE GREEN Returned by CPS


“My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.” ~ Thomas Jefferson





Michigan’s kids are one of the country’s most important natural resources. Representing the best fed, best educated, and most protected group of children this country has to offer – or so it seems. And the taking of children from state sanctioned medical marijuana patients is meant to protect that resource. At leat that’s the logic – best PR position – the agents from Michigan’s CPS could muster after ripping Bree Green from her parents arms. What was their crime you ask? Simply being medical marijuana patients in the great state of Michigan. Now, thanks to cooler minds and common sense, the recently seized six-month old Bree Green will be allowed to return to her parents.


“I’m ecstatic,” noted the little girl’s mother, as she stood outside the courtroom supported by medical marijuana activists blazing “Free Bree” ribbons. Both parents are Michigan medical marijuana patients. Steve Green suffers from severe epileptic seizures that only marijuana’s CBD cannabinoid can treat, while Maria Green, a former preschool teacher suffers with MS.



After an evidentiary hearing late last week a Michigan judge expressed serious doubts and articulated his many reservations regarding the allegations contained in the CPS petition for custody.

Prompting Steve Green’s wife Maria, to beam with joy; “Bree will be in her own bed tonight. We’re going to hug her and read to her and love her.”



As all good parents do.

In conjunction with the recently handed down order – both parents will be allowed to consume their medicine and continue cultivating cannabis for their medical needs. With two small stipulation. No smoking around the child – a big no shit! And Bree will now be subjected to regular testing for THC.
