Marijuana is legal to smoke in 41 states in the U.S. I use it once in a while for pain and once in a while for pleasure. There are many different names that poeple call it. Back when I first started indulging, my friends and I called a joint a (Bone). Before it was legal of course (lol)

All I need is a little weed to get me through my day So, Ill lick some glue on "Big Bamboo" and I'll roll myself a jay I don't need much of nothing and nothing needs much of me As long as I can live my life Feeling good and all pain free Oh, my, my I'm feeling high And I can't think of nothing to say My oh my, yes I'm kind of high And I think I kind of like it that way Smokin' bones soothes my bones And it makes me feel okay I had my thrills with non-sense pills So, I gave them all away I had a close call with alcohol Well, I drank till I stank my beard But I must admit that I had to quit Started feeling all wacky and weird Heck, all I need is a little weed That'll get me through my day So, I'll lick that glue on "Big Bamboo" and I'll smoke myself a jay

Lung darts, I used to call them, cigaretts I speak of, or any thing that goes into my lungs. I'm a big chicken I guess. Weed allowed and legal in so many states I worry about people high driving high. That's just me, everybody is different.
