I also do a bit of family law and have represented many educated, successful professional parents whose use of marijuana has often been used by the other party to the case as a means to have my clients ordered into some kind of rehab if they want to see their kids. </p> <p>Once this almost happened in a case where the opposing counsel was someone with whom I had gotten high at a conference. I politely offered to her that I would admit in open court that I had gotten high with her unless she withdrew her request. She did, and probably had a hell of a time explaining that to her client.</p></blockquote> <p>Another writes:</p> <blockquote> <p>I&#39;m a prosecutor, which puts me on the front lines of this battle but also in a tough spot, so I&#39;m not going to give out too many personal details for obvious reasons.</p></blockquote>]]></html></oembed>
