One one hand, she is working hard to advocate for punitive criminal laws again cannabis use. However, according to the article, her own son started using cannabis from age 12 to age 17. If Kinard feels that criminal prohibition laws are the best solution for cannabis use, why didn't she immediately take her son down to the police station to be handcuffed, arrested and jailed? Or is jail just something for other families who use cannabis? Or maybe just non-Christian cannabis users? I'm still trying to figure it out.
