Hello, it isw me again. Some of you are aware that I got busted for a small medical grow about 3 months back that wasn't quiet medical, yet. I was a week away from getting my medical refferall when my 3 year old son drug a wooden chair across the house, unbolted the dead bolt on my front door, pried open the child proof lock, and went for a midnight stroll while we were asleep. DHS will tell you that this happens to more people than they care to admit, except that when the police brought him back, I was found from my 3 pot plants.
I served 6 days in county jail and recieved a bench probation with no po and no random uas. Also my defence attorney worked out for me with the DA that I could get my medical card while I was on probation so that if I did smoke marijuana, it wouldn't be illegally. I then recieved my medical marijuana card a week later for involuntary muscle spasms.
Case closed.
Not quiet.
Ok, here is were the real questions come in. All of this was just back story.
I am now 4 months into the ordeal. DHS still has custody of my children. Visititions are just barely working out. My children have cases of "explosive ringworms", burns, fleas, and scars since they've left our care.
The courts (Now juvinile court hearings for custody, not cuircit court.) Just seen us for our second hearing. This is where things got interesting. I introduced to my lawyer that I have a medical card, when she asked me if I cleaned up my urine since the last time I seen her. Instead of peeing illegally, I told her I got my OMMP. She then took this to the DHS people and they introduced the idea that they are not sure just how much THC is allowed to be used by one person at one time.
They wanted to know how much THC my doctor had prescribed me. I told them I wasn't sure. So my attorney left again and by the time she came back, she worked out a plea bargain (type thing) with the DHS saying that
I would sign releases of information
(So that they could find out the doctor that prescribed me medical marijuana and I'm assuming to find out from him how much THC should I be measuribly be using for my condition without it being considered recreational or "substance abuse".
Next that I would take Random UAs
Now they want to make sure and monitor my THC levels. This is the wierdest thing. I'm taking UAs to prove that I AM using marijuana, not that I am not using it. They want to monitor (and fuck up for me). Also, they want to figure out how much THC through UAs is enough to satisfy a medical condition or if I am using as substance abuse. When i asked DHS what they considered acceptible, they responded 250. I was like WTF!!!
Like, how can I measure how much THC I'm intaking from one herb to another nug? From one hash to another space cake? This puts me out of going to the cannabis cafe in downtown portland anytime soon too, as that was a favorite of mine to hang at (still is for $5 a entry)
I have tons more to write butI'll post more as it comes to me. I'm open to suggestions and comments. I'll be blogging about this here for awhile. DHS came into my home (just my caseworker) 3 days later. I finally let him in (because now they knew I'm medical) and they pretty much just used this as an excuse to see my clean house, but to also steal a peek at my garden. He said he had never seen a fully operational grow op before.
I cut him off in midsentence and interjected with "I prefer the term "Medicinal Manufacturing Facility". It was interesting how that worked out, lol. But still, as I post more, give me more insight to this.
In Oregon, we have laws written to protect us from criminal prosicution, but not our children from DHS persicution if they find out you are medical.
DHS views OMMP as an excuse to be addicts. End of story.
I'm trying to prove, in court, that OMMP are both law abiding citizens and proud parents. Even if I was eager to grow before I had my card, and I started before I was legally able too, I paid my due and I only convicted of possesion. That doesn't make me a criminal and I never harmed my children. If my son ran out now, the police would just bring him back and say have a nice day. 4 months is too long, help me find theories that I can convince DHS that I am a capable parent that has learned from a one time mistake.
