Julian Heicklen
From Mises Wiki, the global repository of classical-liberal thought
Julian Heicklen is an activist who has been arrested many times for openly smoking cannabis[1] and for passing out jury nullification pamphlets.[2] He also ran for assemblyman in New Jersey.[3] According to one columnist, "Julian Heicklen’s conduct is remarkably like that of the seventeenth century pamphleteers whose obstinate insistence on rights and fair process belongs to the animating background of the American Revolution."[4] Heicklen currently resides in Israel.
