Oct 2016

At the time I was a PFC in the USMC and I was well on my way to San Quentin (1 to 5 yrs. felony) after the cops grabbed me for having a half baggie of grass. The judge told me to advance to the bench where he quietly asked me what I was currently doing in the Marine Corps. I explained that my unit was due to go to Vietnam in a matter of weeks.
He then brought the gavel down and declared "case dismissed in the interest of justice" and I walked free!

Now we are on the verge of legalization. That is what I call progress!!!!!

BTW. the grass in Nam was pretty damn good as I recall!
