Medical marijuana card-holder’s possession arrest sparks outrage

Jamie Wilson, 48, was arrested Nov. 1 by a Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper in Daviess County for marijuana possession and child endangerment. His attorneys, Joani Harshman and Aubrey Gann-Redmon, along with the cannabis activist community argue that his arrest was unlawful because he is a medical marijuana card-holder.

    How bad is this going to get for those crooked police that don’t follow the law! I hope the police officers lose their jobs for creating they’re own fictional laws

    Arrest those who are illegal. I am glad his charges were dropped.

    I think that there is a big problem when police cant tell the difference between someone who is a criminal and someone who is a law abiding citizen.

    There is no other way to interpret this law. It’s legal to possess up to 8oz of marijuana. Law suit pending.

    His name is Wilson !!!!.. Like in the movie "Cast away".

    8 ounces is a lot lol

    This is not a democrat or Republican. Issue I think all Americans can agree marijuana should be completely legal heck all drugs because it’s a free country. Let’s fight real crime like these billionaire pedos



  11. topsy kretts on July 4, 2022 at 1:58 am

    i agree with the part of the weed but he still got charged with a couple other things. give him his weed back and drop that charge but give him the time for the other stuff.



  12. Miguel Garcia on July 4, 2022 at 1:58 am

    I hate marijuana!!!!!
    My bloody neighbor is a pothead
    He’s smell like pop all the time.

    More reason to avoid shitholes Missouri (and Iowa). They don’t care about your health or well-being. Those backwards states only fear "that evil drug, Marijuana"

    Meanwhile: "Alcohol use contributes to almost 10,000 crashes every year in Missouri, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol Statistical Analysis Center."



  14. Disco Biker Barefoot Acrylics on July 4, 2022 at 1:59 am

    It’s legal in my state & I still won’t carry Marijuana on me unless traveling across the state. BTW, he never smoked it in the car, or gave any to the kid.

    Try having your children removed and adopted out souly because you are a single parent with a medical marijuana card. Because the state says you use to much cannabis yet you only use one ounce of cannabis in a 30 day period which is well with in my five ounce limit I have every month. Ive been suicidal every since. I do not understand why my babies or what I did wrong. Before you have something stupid to say about how states wouldn’t do such things, I have every single one of the courts minute entry’s which is all about my cannabis card. I took my boss friends and boyfriend to court with me and they all were shocked to hear I was being attacked over my legal cannabis card that I paid $300 a year just to be allowed to buy cannabis from the dispensaries. I am a broken mess.

    Anyone else notice the guy holding a sign upside down and someone telling him to flip it lol



  17. Jerry Lawlor on July 4, 2022 at 2:01 am

    DWI Is the one problem that the state has he was driving with his grandson in the car For driving while under the influence of marihuana Everybody just looks at this mall picture in that the bigger picture



  18. Nick Turner on July 4, 2022 at 2:03 am

    Why and how did this even go to court?



  19. SERIOUS CURIOUS on July 4, 2022 at 2:03 am

    If your anti marjiana, why do you pop that pharmacy?

  20. All About Roofing on July 4, 2022 at 2:04 am

    Wonder why he buys 8 oz at a time. That’s odd.



  21. Jonn Cockrell on July 4, 2022 at 2:06 am

    Defund the police.



  22. Texas Underground on July 4, 2022 at 2:08 am

    If it’s not illegal you cannot legally arrest someone, that would make the police officer a kidnapper and that my friend, is a huge crime



  23. Lee Anderson on July 4, 2022 at 2:08 am

    Weed arrest = retarded cops.



  24. the chevy guy on July 4, 2022 at 2:09 am

    Well you don’t need to cruise around with it anyway, that card says you can legally possess a certain amount thus bringing it home, it’s the same thing as buying beer, you can’t drink and drive and you can’t smoke and drive. Listen I’m not disrespecting weed smokers but I’m trying to get you to see it how others see it I mean would you want your kid or kids in a car with someone driving who just did a couple bong rips? Yeah I didn’t think so.

    Making a NATURAL plant illegal is UNNATURAL.

    Narrow minded old school is dying off. Be patient. This comes from a 63 year old New Mexican medical cannabis patient



  29. Paul Navarro on July 4, 2022 at 2:16 am

    The law isn’t always right



  30. Cindy Phan on July 4, 2022 at 2:17 am

    Here in Greenville County SC, crack and meth seem to be ok but heaven forbid you get caught with even a speck of marijuana 🙄



  31. Jackson MeHoff on July 4, 2022 at 2:21 am

    Ya knew this was going to be an issue when the feds made it legal. It was done so they make money, not because they care about you.
    Solution here, take the task force, the officers involved and the judge and put them in jail for as long as the dude was in.



  32. TheNeuteredCat on July 4, 2022 at 2:22 am

    Cannabis is a plant that harms no one, creates revenue, and heals. What man has the right to tell me i can’t grow it and use it medicinally. Its in my GOD GIVEN RIGHTS. But man tells us how to run our lives.



  33. AR ACE on July 4, 2022 at 2:22 am

    Half ass get your ppl that work for you in line



  34. Bill Anderson on July 4, 2022 at 2:23 am

  37. AMT CH on July 4, 2022 at 2:30 am

    So are the cops saying that I can’t buy beer with my kids in the car



  38. valkyrie1066 on July 4, 2022 at 2:31 am

    He may be guilty of cutting someone off in traffic, which is what got their attention. He is allowed to have the marijuana. Ticket him for careless driving. You are done.



  39. Charles Pwnage on July 4, 2022 at 2:33 am

    I live in canada so I’m allowed to have weed on my with no card needed other than an I’d to prove my age



  40. supermankev2001 on July 4, 2022 at 2:35 am

  41. Timothy Emerson on July 4, 2022 at 2:35 am

    Solos were made that they’re not going to follow so they can prosecute you because they want to cuz they’re the big bad government they need to go suck a box of Cox



  42. Space Cowboy on July 4, 2022 at 2:36 am

    "Wilson faced felony possession and child endangerment charges, which were dropped. He still faces misdemeanor charges of driving without insurance, cutting in on an overtaken vehicle and possession of drug paraphernalia – prior offender."

    Legal States:
    Arizona- Purple
    Alaska- Red (but really gold since Alaskans are libertarian more than conservative)
    California-Blue
    Colorado- Blue
    Illinois- Blue
    Maine- Blue
    Massachusetts- Blue
    Michigan- Purple
    Montana- Red
    Nevada- Purple
    New Jersey- Blue
    New York- Blue
    New Mexico (soon)- Blue
    Oregon- Blue
    Vermont- Blue
    Virginia (soon)- Blue
    Washington- Blue
    Out of 17
    -2 red legal states
    -3 purple (within 5% margin in 2020 presidential) legal states
    -12 blue legal states
    Why not more red states?
    -South Dakota voted to legalize it but Kristi Noem blocked it by bringing it under a judge she appointed.
    -Lt. Gov Dan Patrick of Texas blocked decriminalization in 2018.
    -The Montana legislature wants to be strict THC caps on its weed.
    -The House passed the MORE Act and Mitch McConnell blocked it in the Senate by not even letting it get a vote.
    -Gov. Ricketts of Nebraska recently said marijuana will kill your kids.
    Conservatives have no standing in this issue. There are 0 Republican legislatures that are planning on legalizing weed this session and there are 3 Democratic ones (VA, NM, NY) that have already done it.



  46. Graypaws on July 4, 2022 at 2:41 am
