Prosecution of Pregnant Women for Medical Marijuana Use
KFOR reached out to Wirth Law Office for answers to their questions about Oklahoma prosecutors charging felony child neglect when mothers are suspected of using medical marijuana during pregnancy.
“It was an activist act by the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals to re-interpret that statute to criminalize behavior [and] you’re facing the potential of life imprisonment for something that wasn’t illegal until it was interpreted to be illegal by the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals,” James Wirth told KFOR reporter Ashley Moss.
