“Pot smokers vote for socialists.”

Really? What scientific poll are you getting that from?

Jo Six chip, for your information the so called ‘rule of law’ ended with the Clintons and until we get a smart A.G. to re-establish that rule of law we must be thankful to have people on juries that use their heads.

Jury Nullification. The ultimate power that juries have that no judge or court will ever inform a jury that they have that power.

Let it be known that you support jury nullification during voire dire and you will be dismissed for cause so fast your head will spin lest you pollute the jury pool. I have done it and it works. I actually became aware of its employment when I watched an ADA voire dire a prospective juror who also happened to be a managing partner of a law firm.

He also skillfully “sliced and diced” the ADA’s skill at conducting the voire dire. That was really entertaining.

I got it from the very same poll you got your information from.

I know I’m voting to nullify in any case where the FBI touched the evidence.

I know pot smokers that are far smarter than the average Republican voter.


I worked with a few highly functional guys that would “Wake and Bake” virtually every day.

There was another multi Billion dollar company I worked for that invited me to their Headquarters for a week to “Get to know me” and offer me a Regional management position. From day one it became very clear that almost all of the top managers/executives were hard core partiers. The CEO, CFO and most of the top management would get stoned before meetings. The guy that brought me in was the Head of the OTC trading desk and he was growing pot plants in his apartment.

At the end of the day, I just think people want to be left alone.

Twelve people can’t change a law made by a few dozen in a distant state capitol.

They CAN tell the court to stuff it, and send the defendant home.

“Pot smokers vote for socialists.”

In 2016, Florida gave Trump its 29 EVs and approved medical pot 71%-29%.

If we give up the war on drugs, next thing they’ll be wanting us to bring our boys back from Afghanistan. Then it’ll be anarchy. We need people to know who’s in charge. The government should order everybody to go through the TSA at least once a week, eliminate currency and require all transactions be made with government-monitored credit cards, and install fetal monitors on all females.

If your point was that Trump voters also support for medical pot, then I agree.

See also OK’s recent vote in favor of medical marijuana.

People who think otherwise are dumb. Your airline pilot, engineers, lawyers, doctors, all kinds of people I’ve known have been pot smokers.

The Rule of Law can also end when an unresponsive government enforces oppressive laws that lack the consent of the governed.
