Marijuana, Past To Present.... Poem by The Original Tom Maxwell

.







This is just an example of marijuana in America

Years ago, there was A government movie refer madness,
If you smoked one time' you turned into A crazy insane
Person.

After that marijuana was labeled, as the gateway drug,
Smoke pot, then you try other drugs, this went on for
Years.
Now states, legalize marijuana, you don't hear anything,
About either of the above, no more fears.

State officials, charging very large fees, to grow, or sell,
Even transport marijuana.

They say marijuana, is still illegal, as A federal law,
So, everything has to be in cash, which means all of the high
Fees, sales taxes, licenses, are in cash, handed to our,
State elected officials, with no receipts, they collect standing tall.

The federal government works daily, with each state.

Could this be A reason, A person would spend millions,
Of dollars, with no fear, to get elected, into A political office,
That only pays one hundred thousand A year? ?


Now since marijuana is being legalized,
Will it be removed from all drug tests?

Basically Marijuana, was said to be bad, for,
Our health, and the reason behind it,
Was the government lawmakers, seen all the cash,
Being made, moved around, they were not getting,
Any. So, they conspired to form their own drug dealing
Gang Of politicians, with tax payer money, paying for,
Their protection, law enforcement officers, they work for the people, not personal wealth.

Are all other illegal drugs, actually, that bad,
For your health, or the just illegal, because,
Lawmakers haven't conspired yet,
To profit, from them, to help themselves?


(WOW, you mean money, can change, a politicians thoughts)

Years ago, pharmaceutical companies,
Developed pain medications, the government,
Was watching, then approving, to be sold.
Doctors prescribed, as needed, politicians started,
Seeing A corporation making A lot of money,
The tale they put out now, if you use the pain pills,
You will take other drugs, A new message, so bold.
(Remember marijuana, was the gateway drug)
The government made A drug test, who else had access,
To all the drugs? Some doctors give the test, they make A
Few dollars, while being an informant to the government.
The government can twist the results, anyway they wish,
Will doctors who give the test, be taken away from their
Patients to testify? If test wrong, (who made it) patients
May not be able to live A normal life, Doctors, may be
Labeled by peers, and drug companies, A twisted song.

What may come next, if doctors saw patients needed
These drugs, then stop them because of A government,
Test, they would be going against the oath, to help patients,
They took at medical school. Will anything happen,
The government, Will have the records, and power,
Forgotten, the people in pain, that need to rest.
