The Bad Back

I heard a great story this morning while at the courthouse, related to yesterday's post about the meth bust [https://thedailyeudemon.com/4981/]. A local guy was busted for possessing a half pound of marijuana. His defense? It was for personal use (which lessens the criminal culpability). He
