I wish that I could smoke |
|
The ******* 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, |
|
******* 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 Ha*******sh to Opium raise new fears |
|
******* 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 ******* |
|
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 **** the bull*******t 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 |
