DBT #202 Monday Morning Song - Schedule 1 by Alex Toast
Hey it's almost my birthday, so I wishing for my birthday that MN adopts Legalization; just a hop and skip across the Mississippi for a nice little candy bar. Until then can we at least wake up and make it Schedule 2 nationally to allow doctors to be able to prescribe it, and we know it's less dangerous than cocaine or Oxycontin (did anyone see cocaine bear?!?) I learned this all from this great song by Alex Toast of LaCrosse WI.
Here are the lyrics:
Hey everybody, did you hear what they were sayin?
The DEA got sued after 9 years of delayin
a petition filed way back in 2002
said to schedule cannabis more appropriately, fools!
Now we all know the government refuses to acknowledge
studies that were done at college after college
though most of them outside the United States they were done
because the DEA still calls pot a schedule 1!
What's a schedule 1 you say?
According to the DEA
there isn't any goodness in a nug
No accepted medical use
A high potential for abuse
and no accepted safety for the drug
What about the 30 some states the overcame the Federal gates?
They passed some marijuana bills, I'm told
But the Feds, they don't like those kinds of meds
and they can raid the places where those meds are sold.
And let's discuss pot's high potential for abuse
It's funny, Oxycontin is a Schedule Number 2
So are morphine and cocaine
I think this country's gone insane
to say that marijuana's worse for you
(cause it's not!)
And what would happen if pot weren't a schedule 1?
You say that more effective research could be done?
And doctors could prescribe instead of recommend
marijuana so go tell your friends
That according to the DEA
They'd rather prescribe you cocaine
than have you smoke a marijuana nug
They would rather you OD
on Oxycontin or morphine
cause they say marijuana turns you to a
no-good, dirty rotten, nose pickin' thug.
But I know that marijuana just makes me want to give my neighbor a hug
