and no felonies or any reason for but I've never been asked to be on a jury, not once in my lifetime.
Got busted for pot seeds back soon after returning from the war is my only sin

Yes I said POT seeds. I'd rolled those seeds down a shoe box lid or an album cover looking for a smidgen of reefer so many time I swear there was NO pot left in those seeds, none, nada zilch but got a 1 year deferred sentence anyway. Bastards all of them

Pot seeds were not illegal to possess at the time best I remember.
