It's a bummer that stoners and growers always want to get out of doing their duty because what happens is the "jury of your peers" becomes a jury full of old timers that will send you up the river for growing a single plant. Pro legalization advocates need to get in the courts and show this country that they are willing to fight for the freedom of those that deserve it. That's how laws get changed and growers get let free. Consider how you might feel if you are in court charged with cultivation, and instead of some like minded folks in the jury, it's all ex cops and school marms.![]()

Good luck.
Alistair Young said:I always respond to the jury summons letter with a letter explaining why I can't afford to do jury duty. I can't be on a jury, because I want to assume the person on the stand is innocent and I'd rather see him go free. I believe it's better for 99 guilty men to go free than to put one innocent man in prison. If I explained that to the lawyers during jury selection, they'd never choose me anyway. But that's how I feel, especially when it come to drug related charges.
Not only that, I'm a contrary, if the other 11 jurors say guilty, I say innocent. I think differently than a lot of people on several different issues. I'm not sure that they'd want me on their jury.
