LISTSERV HIJINKS

In violation of article II, section 9, et. seq., of the criminal defense attorneys' code of conduct,  we publish an FACDL Listserv thread.  This will in turn engender much discussion at the next FACDL board meeting, where members who faithfully email us all the gossip they know, will righteously expound upon the evils of Rumpole and his un-regulated blog who refuses to tow the FACDL line. Who says we spend all our time trashing prosecutors and judges? 

The following emails are true. The names have been redacted, because we are not as recklessly mean as we used to be:

The opening salvo- about marijuana which as we all know is a gateway drug to FACDL snipping: 

Hello Colleagues,
You are hereby invited to a free private event tomorrow at 6:30pm in South Miami featuring XYZ , author of the book "WXYZ" and an
authority on the human Endocannabinoid system and how CBD and other Cannabinoids work. As Florida recently legalized Hemp and products derived from Hemp (most commonly referred to as CBD) it is beneficial to become educated about these products. Wine and Cheese will be served! (does nobody besides Rumpole see the perhaps unintended humor in serving food at the event??)
Beyond the above, if anyone has questions regarding Florida Medical Marijuana or Hemp please feel free to contact me off line. Most likely I will be able to answer your questions.

Our Fav FACDL member, a true grouch in the best traditions of Rumpole, was roused out of their fall hibernation to roar: 

This is a purely commercial ad, and should not be permitted on the listserv. Besides, it is advertising items that are still against federal law. Being on the listserv does not mean agreement to accepting every bid to make money, even from members. 

And then the coup de gras by a member who wins the Rumpole award for wit and wisdom:

And I can think of one person who could use a little wine, cheese, and CBD...

Well done all. You brought a smile to our day.
