Medical marijuana activist in Kansas could face charges

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A medical marijuana advocate has lost custody of her 11-year-old son at least temporarily and could face possible charges following comments the boy made during a drug education program at his Kansas school.

Garden City Police said the case of 37-year-old Shona Banda was forwarded Monday to prosecutors for a decision about any charges. Police said in a statement that possible charges include possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia and child endangerment. No arrests have been made.

Police were called to the boy’s school on March 24. A search of the house found marijuana and other drug-related items.

The divorced Garden City mother says she did not regain custody of her son after a hearing Monday. She says she is not giving up.
