If Jean Bosco was in America my advice for him would be plead not guilty and read Hank Reardens speech to the court from Atlas Shrugged in your defense. The day has passed when twelve of your peers could be found who would be willing to lock you in a cage for decades because you had the courage to grow, trade, or consume the most useful plant on earth.
