A shocking viral video showing a team of police entering and then searching the hospital room of man with stage 4 pancreatic cancer is fueling outrage in Bolivar, Missouri, where the incident took place and is renewing nation-wide debate over medical marijuana.

Multiple police officers initiated an unconsented surprise search on terminally ill patient Nolan Sousley’s hospital room on March 6 after hospital staff claimed he was using unauthorized medical marijuana. “If we find marijuana we’ll give you a citation, we’re not taking you down to the county jail,” said one officer, caught on Sousley’s cell phone video searching through his belongings. Sousley said, referencing hospital staff, “they already told me I’m gonna get arrested.”

THE STATE IS EVIL & MUST BE STOPPED

Taking a woman’s child because she needs medical marijuana to live a normal productive life, is beyond outrageous. The STATE has become far too powerful. The STATE is evil. The STATE must be stopped. It looks like I need to repost the Hangman poem. The sheep are asleep , mesmerized by their iGadgets and the latest Kardashian/Jenner degradation. The STATE grows ever more powerful and interventionist in our lives. The STATE is spying on you. The STATE is taxing and regulating you to death. The STATE is controlled by corporate and banking interests who despise you. The STATE wants more power and control over you. They will stop at nothing unless WE THE PEOPLE stop them.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Shona Banda says she had a clear choice: Live in misery or use medical marijuana to ease her Crohn’s disease and risk going to jail.Turned out to be an easy call for the Garden City, Kan., woman. She said her symptoms eased to the point where she could return to work and once again play with her young son.

But she didn’t count on that same son, now 11, speaking out in school recently about the benefits of medical marijuana, including saying that it had saved his mother’s life. School officials contacted police, who searched her house and found marijuana and cannabis oil.

That’s where her old choice took a new turn. Police didn’t take her to jail. Authorities took her son away and put him in protective state custody.

A month ago, Banda, 37, was a massage therapist eking out a living in the back room of a health food store.

Today, her story has gone global. More than 84,000 people have signed an online petition supporting her. Signatures have come from across the country as well as Spain, France, India, Austria, Sweden, Switzerland, Singapore, Slovenia, Russia and the United Arab Emirates.

As prosecutors in Finney County consider charges against Banda, a GoFundMe account has produced nearly $40,000 in donations for her possible legal fight.Part of the outrage is that had she lived an hour to the west, in Colorado, she would have been perfectly fine having marijuana in the house.

“Them taking her son made Shona the perfect storm,” said Sarah Swain, Banda’s attorney.
