You know what? After I caught my felony- for growing a harmless plant in my basement, FFS!, I tried to do just that.
As you can guess from my presence here, that didn't work out so well.
Growing is my calling. It's what I'm on this earth to do. I could fight it, but why? I know that I'm helping untold numbers of people today, tomorrow- and if I'm diligent and fortunate, for long after I'm done and gone.
It's a legacy I can be proud of, and they can take my felony and shove it. If it's a crime to help others, then I'll be a criminal.
