Puff Puff Prohibition

about

Cannabis criminalization does nothing but hurt innocent people. The US Government must move to completely decriminalize not only Cannabis, but all substances. It's our right to get high if we want!

lyrics

I like smoking cannabis.

A lot of people do.

It helps me keep my appetite

And stops me feeling blue

Since human kind first walked upright

We’ve smoked the green stuff day and night

And puff puff passed the passtime onto you.

We’ve known about its benefits since 500 BC

We used dope to make our ropes

And took it medically.

The founding fathers grew it in every colony farm.

They didn’t think it caused them any harm.

Now the government don’t like it

They think it ought to stop

They don’t let us grow it like you’d grow any other crop.

They made its use illegal, and its sale a bigger crime

And now there’s peaceful potheads doing time.

When the Great Depression hit the states, our leaders made up lies.

They told us that cannabis was something to demonize.

They called it by it’s Spanish name to stoke the racists’ fears

And the prejudice continues through the years.

They lock up people of color

At a much much higher rate.

The racist pigs fill prisons

To get more money from the state.

Even though the studies show

That white folks smoke it, too

Facts don’t matter to the bacon boys in blue.

Why don’t we jail the CEOs

Of opioid companies?

Who push their pills on the sick and old

As often as they please.

They’re the real criminals, not folks like you and me

But til it’s legal, I’ll use it illegally.

Folks should have the right to take whatever drug they please.

Addiction isn’t criminal, it’s a neurological disease.

The Cannabis movement will prevail because

Stoner folks don’t belong in jail.

So smoke it up, and pass that shit to me!
