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 2F...   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...
