Please Legalize All Drugs

Legalize all drugs
Because when you do
the drug dealers will leave
For they will no longer make a profit.
They will go to a different world, maybe a different planet

But please legalize marijuana first
For the people are shaking
and their eyes are quaking
and they have cancers and other ailments
that can be readily calmed and cured by marijuana
So let's get it to them, and quickly.

Let's heal the people.
Legalize all the drugs.
Especially marijuana
For we need it to stop the sorrow and the sickness
We need it to calm our nerves and make us into better
Sides of ourselves

Legalize all the drugs
Let's heal the country
The drug dealers will leave
If they cannot make a profit
why would they stay?

Yes, let's mimic more intelligent countries. Love this vent, too. Found my box to stand on! I'll be brief: I applaud your poem and, second, think on this: if there were no DEA there would be no drug cartels. All the best ... CayCay

Yes, and no drug cartels would be rather wonderful, don't you think?

The powers that be are mostly men. We have to change that up. Grandmas listen. Mommies listen. We have no choice, right?

Such true and valuable thoughts penned Caren - In S.Africa, only for medical purposes mind you, marijuana has been legalised. Hugs, Jennifer.

I do think we need to realize the world is round, and we can think in a new way.

On our Island they are looking at making it legal for certain medical conditions here I doubt it will be decriminalised and sadly people will still be at the mercy of the drug dealers:-( hugs Jan xx

I want all the drug dealers to say "well, we can no longer make a profit. All the money now goes to legal institutions, so we had better move away from here."
