In The Pen
When the state slams the door
then you are in the penitentiary
your time belongs to the state
you belong to the state
your ass even belongs to the state
and yet your mind has to relate
with everyone and everything
around you even the walls
that are now surrounding you
you will learn how to get along
with everything and everyone
you will have too because
you can't escape you are in the pen
nothing left for you to do now
but to begin doing your time
when will I ever live again
will run through your mind
pretenders fags snitches
are alol around you in the pen
when will it ever end runs through
your mind too from time to time
then you will make up your mind
to do your time in the pen
get out and get on with your life
then you are in the penitentiary
your time belongs to the state
you belong to the state
your ass even belongs to the state
and yet your mind has to relate
with everyone and everything
around you even the walls
that are now surrounding you
you will learn how to get along
with everything and everyone
you will have too because
you can't escape you are in the pen
nothing left for you to do now
but to begin doing your time
when will I ever live again
will run through your mind
pretenders fags snitches
are alol around you in the pen
when will it ever end runs through
your mind too from time to time
then you will make up your mind
to do your time in the pen
get out and get on with your life

thank you very much

for selling pot

Tut tut (with accompanying finger wag), crime of the centaury! Surprised they let such a danger to society out at all! Where is the number for Interpol....I won't sleep tonight now....!
Seriously, I have been to Amsterdam and seen the future, it feels like you have come home, it is safe, clean and classy with many other visitors who don't go for the pot. There is no crime to see on the streets as you see everywhere else whatever time of the day or night you are out. Amsterdam pursued legalisation of pot in an attempt to concentrate resources on heroin addiction which was a far bigger societal headache and accepted that pot was in a different category.
When Holland's national soccer team won the World Cup they had a smoke the night before, of course there was much criticism but you can't ignore that they still won!
Plus have never known anyone get arrested for being stoned and disorderly.
I hope the financial crisis encourages governments to look again at decriminalisation of pot - I understand the states in the US who have pursued this course are having difficulty knowing what to do with all that legal revenue and profit. I hope someday all those convicted of such so called crimes will be viewed as ahead of their time and that no blemish will be left on their character.
