*cry* Medical Cannabis patient and child custody?

Well, had a horrible conversation with my domineering narcissicist father yesterday. In thinly veiled terms he threatened to take me to court for custody of my twins if I actually utilize my personal production license and grow 1-2 plants for my own personal use. His argument being that growing puts them at risk of an armed home invasion from someone coming to steal my cannabis. The really funny part is that when I was an infant he was moving pounds through our home, coke as well as weed and probably anything else he could. He did federal time before I could walk. I'm still in a bit of a tizzy and was hoping some of you more informed folks on here would know if he even would have a leg to stand on in court? He's been in and out of AA my whole life, has that federal felony for distribution on his record, is currently in a diversion program after almost losing his nursing license for being drunk on shift. I don't think I would lose to him, but he can afford a lawyer and my husband and I can't. Sometimes I think I should just cut him out of my life totally. Oh, and I also want to slap my husband for telling him I was going to be growing in the first place! Any reassuring words would be great, I usually never even take my ativan and I had 3 yesterday just to keep from having a day-long freakout.

yeah,not trying to be a dick...but it might be time to focus on the kids for a bit....

you act all legit for a few...then run a stealth grow in a dresser or something...

what your daddy don't know wont hurt 'em

for reals i don't think you have much to worry about...i don't think he would get your kids....ex-con and all


don't cut your dad out...family is family....if you do,one day he will die and you will feel like garbage....

It doesn't sound like he has much of a leg to stand on. I wish you luck. Sometimes Moms and Dads act like jerks. Good Luck!!!!

If you're living in his home, then I would abide by what he wants but if not then how does your growing put his house at risk? Just tell him you aren't going to do it and do a stealth one. I don't want my family to know even if I was in a medical state.

It sounds like a big hassle . If I got rid of my troubled family member who likes to start shit , I wouldn't need $5,000 for a lawyer right now . Some people are just totally uncool and are troublemakers to others . It sucks when they are a relative , but if we really don't need the bs , why keep them around ?

fuck that if your own blood is threating to take your children from you that is un forgivable in my mind..... If he really tryed that or even threatened to try i would never answer his phone calls again....

Well, this issue has been resolved, for now at least. I've grabbed my imaginary ballsack and in polite terms told my father I love him but to go to hell. He's trying to come to terms with my personal declaration of independence. I'm still not sure if I'll be growing any time soon, as it seems my husband told more people than just my father about the planned grow. Most likely will have to wait until we move or the rumors settle down and
they've forgotten, if ever.


But, I can't stay mad at my family. I love them and it would be unhealthy. I can however choose to be happy with myself and take care of myself in the manner that I know I need to. I've doubled checked with CYFD (child protective services) and they said I'm fine to consume and grow so long at it's not in my kids' room or anything stupid, which I would not do anyway. I'm a good mom, who happens to have pretty severe PTSD. Medical cannabis aleviates my chronic intractable insomnia better than any prescription on the market with fewer side effects. It also stabilizes my mood and helps with the anxiety and depression. It helps me be a better, more rested, patient and calm mother. Wish we had legalized medical cannabis on a federal level already. I'm still pretty passionate about this medicine from mother nature and I still want to learn all I can. This is me, not cowering for once in my life when Daddy gets mad. I should have done it sooner, I'm almost 30 for goodness sake.

Your husband is a dumbass, stay away from him and your dad.

none of his business , put a lock on it , and don't tell anyone.

It's a plant. You're putting yourself in far greater danger buying off the street IMO

Just keep it away from the kid...with a properly sealed space + carbon filter nobody will ever know.

First of all someone can do a home invasion at anytime anyway just because there are idiots out there that do those sorts of things whether or not you have weed and plants in a house. I'm sure you aren't running around telling everyone even if you are doing it legally. Yeah I would slap my husband/wife for doing something like that too. LOL! I live in Kentucky, and when I was 18 on my highschool graduation day I busted for traffficking marijuana and got a class d felony conviction out of it. I only had to do probation and never had to go to prison over it, and I couldn't get a job in the nursing field. No freaking way! I have a college degree, and I still have a hard time finding places to give me chances because of my criminal background. I don't think your father has a leg to stand on in court. I don't understand how he is even working in the medical field with his criminal background. Do you or your husband have a criminal background or take any drugs that you aren't prescribed just in case you have to take a drug-test. As long as you don't and provide a safe environment for your kids, I believe that you will be good. To be completely sure I would recommend to call a lawyer and one that deals with medical marijuana patients or whatever. I hope that you keep any plants secure from children, because I don't think kids of a certain age need to see cannabis plants growing. Worst comes to worst just don't do it for a lil bit and then get back to work on your grow and keep it as low key as possible. Regardless, I think you will be alright. Just cover all your bases and call an attorney. They can tell you what's up for sure. Better than anyone else on here. Keep your head up and good luck.

Can I slap the virtual shit out of your husband from here? Never mind, I'll try. There, hope it hurt. Unbelievable.....
