In my view, drug laws are unjust and hence the defendant, regardless of such laws on the books, is not guilty.

And yes, jury nullification in cases involving unjust laws is not only a right, but an obligation, of jurors. Of course, both sides (Prosecutor for obvious reasons; Defense to avoid a retrial) prefer to steer clear of jurors with such views. Ignorance is bliss when it comes to jury selection.
