Hopefully this is a sign of things to come, citizens thinking critically and taking the laws into their own hands. The longest and costliest war in US history is a failure and was launched by lies and propaganda. There is no excuse for it's support anymore.
That is exactly what I plan to do if I ever end up on a jury in a marijuana case. I will never vote to convict a person of any marijuana related crime. I don't care how many stupid laws the federal and state governments have against it.
