I lived in Gulfport from 1995 to 2004 after I retired from the military. I could not abide the “good ol’ boy” network… and I was not one o’ dem, which made me an outsider to begin with. After dealing with the Klansmen (I’m a race traitor to them) for 9 years, plus the shooting where I worked, plus my bouts with PTSD. I left for quieter places… Minnesota.

Ya still wanna talk… missippi_hippy@yahoo.com

Oh yeah, some coeds from BSU (Bemidji State University) gave me this moniker, at first Mississippi Hippy… now it’s closer to the way it is pronounced by the folks from my birth home… West Virginia…. Go Mountaineers!

I’ve been reading your blogs for a while now, mainly from my Blackberry so I just got the Mississippi connection in the article. Not to mention now that I see you’re Missippi Hippy. I live in Mississippi in an urban Progressive stronghold. Not many Progressive thinking pot smokers here. We’ve been underground way too long. I’m a small business owner and very active in the community. A lot of people are finally coming out of their shells. I don’t know if you’re still in Mississippi or not but shoot me an email and let’s talk about what we can do here. I promise you, I know how tuff it is here, but if there’s ever been a time to crawl out of our holes it’s now. You should be able to see my email address but if not just post back here and I’ll get it to you.

Totaly agree, too many times we smokers try and get out of jury duty, but thats where we need to be the most, where we can truly make a stand against these laws. We can effect more lives and change more minds being on a jury for one week, than most could do in a years time. We have to take our place on juries, we have to show courts and prosecuters that we will not let them run marijuana smokers thru the system without any thought to whats right or wrong. The law is wrong everyone knows it, and jury duty is one huge way to show them we wont take it anymore, we wont take the discrimination of our culture, and thats what they truly want is our culture gone, this isnt a War on Pot this is a war on a way of life and we have to make a stand in the judical system to stop it.

So next time you get that little letter in the mail, instead of rushing to find any reason to get out of it, be happy that you will have a chance to change the way this country treats our fellow smokers. Or you may even get a chance to put a real criminal away, so dont run from your dutie, embrace it with a sence of pride. Just think, someday there will be a time when these cops and prosecuters wont even try to screw a fellow smoker, simply because they know no jury will convict a pot smoker anymore!

Not Guilty is what we are and not guilty is what I will vote if its you in front of the judge, I just hope you all do the same when its me up there instead!
