I had jury duty this morning - as good a reason as any to wake and bake, right? They put me on a jury anyway.

Yeah, sure it's as good a reason as any. Generally my reason to bake, is that I waked at all.

The trick to getting out of jury duty is to genuinely want to be a juror. Everyone I know has been called, they complain. I would show up prepared to be fully engaged and ready. I've never once gotten a summons. I've even been told if you look eager they'll dismiss you. Somewhere in the multiverse there's a version of me where I'm a constitutional lawyer instead of a stoner musician. That life branch was about 25 years ago now and lasted for 6 weeks before I took a different road. Not sure if it was the wrong or right decision to drop my poly-sci pre-law major. The way the legal system has fallen apart in the last two decades would probably have left me with a stress induced heart attack by now, but if I'd survived this far I'd still be fighting to try and keep this shit show somewhat together. Just like I'm still beating my head against a music career.

No, I'm good on the festival grounds playing tunes and passing out weed. To be a judicial warrior vs an entertainer during the collapse of capitalism, such difficult decisions to make in your early 20's. Option three was to hide in a big dome looking at really old light hoping to find an extra-planetary way off this rock, or at least ignore it most of the time, but I really wasn't sure if I wanted to do that much math.

I was picked and when the judge asked if the pool if there was any reason they shouldn't be on the jury I asked to speak to the judge at the side bar which he allowed. I told him I didn't trust the court system because of my own experience of a lying, corrupt prosecutor going after me. The prosecutor was buds with the employer's lawyer. The prosecutor added a charge to the complaint a few days before the trial so that it would cost me more atty fees and discovery. My atty said it wasn't an uncommon trick but it was foul play. I decided to go ahead with the trial without any more attempts to counter that particular lie. Then the plaintiff asked for a delay because they weren't prepared at trial time. I of course had the right to a speedy trial but my atty said it might make the judge angry and "look bad" for me so I agreed to a new trial date against my own better judgement.

BTW, in my case the owner of the company I worked for was very close to Trump in character. He harassed a woman and I defended her which got me fired and accused of theft. It was a blatant lie but it was amazing to discover that they didn't really need much evidence to make that claim. I was arrested at my home and had to hire a lawyer. I was acquitted but it was a harrowing experience. I could see the jurors faces and expressions through the trial and one can tell which jurors had preconceived notions of guilt and believed the employer and which ones had their doubts. I was not allowed to say I was a defendant's witness in a sexual harassment complaint against that employer during the trial

Whistleblowers are treated like dirt in Florida.
