First, let’s talk about some of the lies Uttered by the nefarious and unwise Of a peculiar type of mindless insanity Created and backed by the inanity Of the Madison Avenue careerists And hordes of conspiracy theorists Who have taken the issue of a **** And buried it in misconduct and greed.
It is important not to fall for the joke That it is quite all right to smoke Because smoking anything you pass A dose of something called cyanic gas Into your lungs, and perhaps minimal, It’s the gas they use to execute criminals. But, other uses for this homegrown stuff Can help people whose lives are tough.
But the whole shooting match is a dodge Started out by rich men in their fancy lodge Fueled by ignorance and false piety Written into law by a strangers to sobriety That somehow had no problem with drinking But thought being ****** was stinking thinking. So they created movies and legends galore. But repression is all the lies were ever for.
(There’s an old joke about a boss’s decree About employees drinking ***** daily. He issued the rule on the smell-free ***** That was drunk at lunch time by his crews, Because he didn’t want customers hazy Thinking his employees were going crazy. He preferred they know they were inebriated Rather than a staff full of the grossly pixilated.)
It was that kind of thinking that created A fervor that up until today has not abated, That named an easily grown garden plant Into some kind of major anti-***** rant, While opiates are endorsed by the AMA. And hundreds of versions are here today To cure the same ailments as cannabis Without the side effects that are a nemesis.
Medical science is finally ignoring A sacred cow that needed goring; Suggesting to the country as a whole That this simple plant can play a role In helping those who need relief And are being criminalized by a belief That, accompanied with such sadness, Was the true definition of ****** madness.
