8. I guess it was long about 30 years ago. I received jury summons.

I get voir dire on a drug case. I state that I think the entire war on drugs is a waste of taxpayer money and lives and I cannot in conscience, vote to convict anyone for a drug offense. Then, I went on to recite the drugs I abused.

My purpose was to maybe give the judge and prosecutor second thoughts about prosecuting future drug cases... if more people like me.....

Of course, I was bounced off the case. I haven't received a notice for jury duty since.
