Have you seen the news?

Then lets open ya mind

How this the land of the free?
They want us all in a cage
They tryna lock me away
They found some pounds in my safe
Feds surrounding my place
The warrants all in my face
Damn I thought this shit was legal
Boy that's just not the case
Now I'm fighting a case
But the laws in the state
Ain't the same as the federal
So now these charges hold weight
Got me stressin
Shit depressin
Couple miles away
At the dispensary they sellin weed everyday

From a clone and a seed
They consumin the weed
A continuous need for a hunger we feed
A sativa to ease got you feelin right
An indica will put you to sleep at night
It's a passion of mine, that compassionate time
Yea right
They take ya money and rob you blind
Just come to the doctor
For a peace of mind
Yea come to the doctor
For a peace of mind

I started with a couple clones
Now my home is a grow
Had to pay off a few neighbors
But keep that on the low
Now all I gotta do is cut em down, bag it, then go
To my local weed shop and sell it back to the store
Who knew the habits that I had would be so profitable
But Uncle Sam wants to put taxes on the ounces I sold
That ain't legalization, that's just some more domination
Free the nation from the hating on the tree that we blazin

I'm pushin out so many jars you're as high as the stars
You're losing gravity in your midst like a mission to Mars
The future was bright
Now we uplifting with ours
Oppositions still wanna see us behind bars
Special interest money comin like Monopoly runnin things
But there ain't no stoppin me
They can't offer me
A fuckin thing
Legalize and I'll advertise
California high in your eyes

Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself. Nowhere is this more clear than in the law against possession of marijuana in private for personal use.
