“<strong>Forchion</strong> is not getting a license. He has a felony marijuana conviction. He thinks this<br />
is ridiculous. And so, in what should come as a surprise to no one, he’s planning to do<br />
something about. His plan? To openly start selling marijuana, starting on Thursday at<br />
a location to be disclosed. He plans on getting arrested. And then he plans to do what<br />
he’s always done: Agitate the hell out of the judicial system in an effort to prove his<br />
points<br />
If and when marijuana becomes legal in New Jersey - and we’ll probably find out a lot<br />
more about that this<br />
week - there will be some<br />
twisted poetry in the law.<br />
Basically, people who<br />
are currently in the illegal<br />
marijuana business will<br />
have pretty much zero<br />
“This is a two pronged<br />
offensive here,” he said.<br />
“This isn’t about legalization<br />
only, it’s also about<br />
me promoting jury nullification.<br />
I’m saying the<br />
prosecution can’t get 12<br />
people to convict me.<br />
They’re going to see the<br />
same thing I see. They’re<br />
going to go, ‘oh, he’s right. All these people getting into the business, and guys like him can’t?’”<br />
Fact is, he’s got a point. New Jersey’s law - if passed - will be the strictest legalization law in<br />
the land. No chance for anyone with a prior conviction - marijuana or not - to get into the business,<br />
no carve-out for home growers. New Jerseyans will not be allowed to plant even one<br />
for us. Honestly, I don’t even want legalization if this is how it’s going to be.” So <strong>Forchion</strong>’s plan is pretty simple: Sell weed, get<br />
might not get arrested. A state police officer refused to arrest <strong>Forchion</strong> when he was openly smoking and selling in front of the<br />
e next day,” he said. “And the day after that.” Per usual, <strong>Forchion</strong> is seeking to blaze a trail for other like-minded individuals. If<br />
we sit back and watch and complain or do we do something?” <strong>Forchion</strong> is a do-er, as evidenced by his fighting the marijuana batrights<br />
are written into the United States Constitution. n the meantime, if you’d like to buy some of <strong>Forchion</strong>’s weed, stay tuned to<br />
to the sale. Should be a hoot. Bring popcorn.”
