Epileptic Michigan man may lose his daughter because he smokes legal medical marijuana

Let that man puff his piff in peace!!

A Michigan father is in jeopardy of losing custody of his 10-year-old daughter, all because he can legally smoke marijuana.

Livingston Thompson Jr. has epilepsy.

He’s been dealing with it for 20 years, and according to him, nothing has really helped except for the marijuana.

“It relaxes me. I’m not as stressed. I discovered that my epileptic seizures — some of them are stress activated,” says Thompson.

Still, his medication of choice could cost him his daughter, Shylynn.

“If I lost custody of my daughter it would crush me. They’d probably see a lot more episodes,” he says.

That’s something Shylynn can’t handle.

“If my daddy lost custody of me I’d be sad, just as sad as he would be if he lost custody of me. Because my dad has had me for ten years. And I don’t want to lose my dad,” says Shylynn.

How did Thompson end up seeing the judge in the first place you ask?

Last year, Thompson spanked his daughter and Child Protective Services was called.

It was decided that Shylynn wasn’t in any danger and could return home, but Thompson now has to get periodic drug testing.

“I explained to the judge that should be modified because my client has a medical marijuana card,” says attorney Charles Ford.

The judge has decided that marijuana is not the best treatment for his epilepsy and that it’s in the best interest of the child that the parents are drug free.

What say you? Is this Judge on that bull$#!* or is Mr. Thompson out of pocket for smoking that OG kush around his seed??
