A Kansas woman who had her home breached by armed authoritarian order-followers on March 24 just because her son spoke up about an anti-marijuana presentation at his school, turned herself in yesterday at the Finney County Law Enforcement Center.
Shona Banda 38 was booked into the jail and later let go after the incarceration center received a $50,000 bond. Banda’s attorney, Sarah Swain, stated that Banda is charged with 5 counts, 4 of them are marijuana related plus endangering a child. If they stick she could be facing 30 years behind bars.
Swain says “This is a woman who was using cannabis to treat a disease, Crohn’s Disease, that was absolutely debilitating, so, not only is it that she’s facing life imprisonment just due to the years, but essentially it’s a death sentence.”
According to Swain cannabis oil has cured Banda of her Crohn’s Disease, and if she goes to prison she’ll be denied that treatment, and she will likely die. Swain also stated that Banda has been deprived of the oil since her home was raided, and has lost a lot of weight as a result of losing her medicine. She’s also had to undergo oral surgery, due to multiple infections that had been mostly non-existent by the access and use of cannabis oil.
Swain will not give up the fight and plans to take Banda’s case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Her prime objective would be to stop marijuana from being classified as a Schedule 1 drug, a substance defined as having no medicinal value. With other states in the U.S. passing laws to allow Cannabis for medicinal use, it’s a clear admission that it is a medicine. To deny a fellow human the right to medicate themselves to a point that they succumb to extreme pain and die is blatant violation of human rights and the state of Kansas will have blood on their hands!
