Should Mary Jane be legal?
Do you smoke it? Why? Why not?
The real problem with weed
It can lead to harder drugs
Affects your mood and health
And also your perspective
Addiction ruins lives
And social interaction
It is mind-altering
Some need it just to sleep
Also when they wake
And just before they eat
Friendly, mellow stoner
Can’t find any wrong
But your brain is your brain
You can’t get a new one
I hate the term, “Addictive
Personality, ” but it’s true
It’s about not letting
The high get the best of you
A drug-induced psychosis
Or a functioning drug user
My friend can no longer
Talk sensibly, not ever
In a semi-useless state
Got baked before shopping
So I wanna say
Being illegal isn’t working
And you thought your pot
Was laced with LSD?
You just got REALLY stoned
Dude, you’re killing me!
It’s a moral choice
And you know the risks
The bad legal drugs
Are alcohol and cigs
Advocates say it’s harmless
…hard drugs I understand
They can kill you outright
Or cause mental health problems
Out of all of them
It’s the least damaging
But possessing small amounts
Gets you legally branded
People who want to celebrate
In a different way
Should not have to resort
To criminal activity
Driving under the influence
Of anything more than mild
Habit-forming intoxicants
Why drive high? It’s retarded
I don’t begrudge people
Who toke up now and then
Decriminalizing use
And mild possession
Don’t shift responsibility
Away from the person
By blaming the drugs
IMO
