One dumb mistake

Marijuana from a farm in Oklahoma
Chemicals added that could put you in a coma
Grown by a Chinese Mafia, on American land
They don't care if you die by their hand.

Marijuana from a Siskiyou County farm
Once few sheriffs were needed, such little harm
Now the Hmong come in, want locals out
More trouble that your marijuana is about.

(Chorus)
Just one dumb mistake
It seems so unfair
They don’t like you
And they don’t care
Was this hit your last stand?
Will it take you to the promised land?
If you believe, you can say a prayer
But they don't like you and they don’t care.

Ghouls add fentanyl, then laugh at your last high
Some add nitazenes, trace amounts can make you die
It’s your body, your choice, but the rule is cruel
You could pay with your life for their pocketful.

Maybe you don't like yourself
Maybe that's why
But whatever damage to your health
The poisoners won't cry.

The U.S., even China, will ban a pesticide 
But take the weed, and on your body it is applied
Workers are treated harshly on these marijuana farms
Shouldn't that raise some alarms?

You say you're against global warming, well, growers use power
They steal electricity, while neighbors cower.
Mafias branch out, find other crimes to do
Please care about the USA, if you don't care about you.

Even the politicians who say 'legalize'
have suspect motives, it's you they despise
Legal pot actually is a cover for what these growers do
The whole scene is a shame, are you ashamed of you?

Whatever sentence they get...it should ensure they never get the opportunity to make misery out of drugs again. China has the right solution...about time we followed suit. Hard-hitting write!! :) john Login to Reply Gideon Oknin Date: 8/1/2025 3:27:00 AM I looked up how China treats drug pushers. It includes 2 years isolation. I think that would deter anyone. But they don't mind their Mafias pushing drugs on us. That tells you something. My niece told me that in her old school, kids would vape in the bathroom - they were already addicted.
