Toby Shook, a rakish devil at the time, was prosecuting...you guessed it, a drug case. During voire dire, my views (leaning Libertarian) on legalization were brought up from my juror form. The implication was that I was a drug user. Uh, no. As Trey rightly pointed out here and on subesquent threads (FB)...what we are doing, have been doing for years is failing. There are a certain percentage of people who will use (ciggies, gin, pot, etc.). Legal or not. Restricted or not. Taxed or not. I'm all for legalizing it, and taxing it, all of it.
