Invertus Indica - the Marijuana Convictions |
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 |
