(MI) Bree Freed! Michigan Medical Marijuana Family Regains Custody of Infant

After weeks of court-ordered separation, Bree Green has finally been returned to the custody of her parents.

Things are going better for the Green family now than when we last posted about them. Steve and Maria Green’s daughter had been removed by Child Protective Services because of now-dismissed legal charges and complaints from Maria’s ex-husband about the fact that the Greens legally grow their own medical marijuana. A prosecutor in Oakland County reviewed Steve’s medical records and approved their motion for immunity under the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act. The felony cannabis charges have been dropped, and neither Steve nor Maria Green are facing any other criminal charges. The same judge who refused to allow Steve’s attorney to even speak about his medical necessity was forced to sign the order vacating the charges.

In a sick twist of fate, however, the end of the medical marijuana criminal case against these loving parents did not result in the immediate return of their beautiful daughter, Bree.

Although criminal charges against the Greens were dropped on October 3rd, their daughter Brielle wasn’t returned to their custody until October 25th, 2013.
