Rev. Gerald Dillenbeck Poet Political Verse

Recreating Cannabis

I noticed that one of the Kennedy patriarchs,
probably a Joseph or John or Ted or Tim
or Robert or Matthew or Mark or Luke,
Why do they all begin to look and sound the same to me?

Anyway, one of these informed and educated and good guys
responded to decriminalizing ingestion of THC,
cautioning us regarding potential public health hazards.

While I share some of these bleary and yet age-specific concerns,
Mr. Kennedy and I do seem to view these potential pathological influences
through two quite different frames of reference.

He approaches dangers of THC influence
in contrast to a population that would otherwise presumably ingest
organic goat's milk and wild honey.

I see the prospects for a THC cooperative addicted society
in pleasant contrast
to our current alcohol dissociative indigestion
addicted to bipolar shouting 
oppositional dis-civilization.

From a public health perspective,
given only a choice between THC or alcohol decriminalization,
the evidence of history appears to vote
for the more regenerative THC.

Now,
if we could addict honeybees to THC pollen,
and goats to voraciously foraging on cannabis fibers,
and we became the land of goat milk and THC honey;
that, I suppose,
would be so much more
our healthier wealth of opportunity.
