| I wish that I could smoke
|
| The weed at the turning of the century
|
| From what I have read, In early 19OO's
|
| Immigrants would smoke
|
| Then go habitually insane
|
| Resort to a life of crime or violent rapes
|
| Assaulting police officers, in bordertowns
|
| Extreme prejudism
|
| From this rising plague
|
| Infecting our youth
|
| Change will commend
|
| Arrests were made
|
| Weed is slowly criminalized
|
| State by state officials were terrified
|
| Mostly minorities that smoked
|
| Jazz musicians were being watched
|
| Under section 2 °F…
|
| Possession without a prescription
|
| Was made presumptive
|
| Evidence of concealment
|
| Drugs illegally imported
|
| In violation of this act
|
| And made possession a federal crime
|
| Esta ya ledio las tres, exhilarating effects
|
| Three inhalations of marijuana
|
| The first puff
|
| Induced feelings of well being
|
| The second provoked extreme elation
|
| Coupled with activity
|
| The third was reputed
|
| To make the smoker oblivious to danger
|
| Developing superhuman strength
|
| El Paso in 1914 characterized
|
| A hot bed for marijuana fiends
|
| Reportedly common
|
| Not only among Mexicans
|
| But among Blacks, Prostitutes, Pimps
|
| And criminal class of Whites
|
| Meanwhile alcohol prohibition
|
| Was a losing cause
|
| Government paranoia was soon abound
|
| Mafia propaganda was gaining ground
|
| Through violence and bribery…
|
| Alcohol could be found
|
| By 1921 an increase of marijuana
|
| Was noted Cannabis Indica
|
| Which is Indian Hemp
|
| From Hashish to Opium raise new fears
|
| Cocaine in further demand
|
| On July 15, 193O Harry Jacob Anslinger
|
| Was appointed Acting Commisioner
|
| Of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics
|
| Eager to fulfill his role as an evil crusader
|
| Against the evils of narcotics
|
| The influential of public policy
|
| Toward drugs from 193O-1968
|
| Employ every tactic possible
|
| To convince legislation
|
| Marijuana is a national monster
|
| Boys smoke it with girls to seduce them
|
| Still heroin use is rising higher
|
| Public oppositions had very little say
|
| I’m living here in 2OOO
|
| And I have never smoked weed
|
| That made me want to kill
|
| Or become hostile
|
| All these crimes
|
| Must have been committed
|
| Under the influence of alcohol
|
| Smoking pot gets you stoned
|
| You get mellow
|
| So fuck the bullshit from the past
|
| It is time to grow up
|
| Out of religious pesting
|
| Or goody-two-shoe politicians
|
| Or lobbyist, addicted to tobacco
|
| Whores, and social drinks
|
| Now’s the time for us stoners to revolt
|
| Take back a country
|
| We lost a long time ago
|
| Change the laws more suitable for
|
| Man… Invertus Indica |
