Jury Nullification

Article III Section II of the United States Constitution: "The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury; and such trial shall be held in the state where the said crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any state, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed. " (emphasis mine)

So, for those of you who get caught,
1) Instead of taking probation or whatever, demand a trial by jury.
2) Instruct your lawyer to educate the jury on jury nullification.
3) Get aquitted of all charges.

As long as you weren't harming anyone while you were smoking, you should be able to convince at least one juror to say "not guilty." Just continue to pound the "Why does it matter if I smoke? It is my body, and it is my right to do with it as I please...as long as I am not harming anyone else" excuse through the juror's heads and you should be fine.
