Stop The Madness (Public Service Announcement for The Whoodlum Ball)

Yo, allow me to drop some freestyle.
Talk cannabis legalization.
Let me tell you about the Washington's that could fund education.
We could create a lot of wealth for every state in our great Nation,
A multiple billion-dollar basis of new taxation.
Hoping to God Jeff Sessions’ tragic misinformation
Did not confuse the Congress, which needs to pass legislation,
Ending with fratricidal tax burdens on medication.
I care about the stoners, but this is really about the patients.

This is a topic I refuse to ignore,
The opioid epidemic hitting home is real hardcore.
We got here at the cost of a so many tombstones,
Leaving cartels to business, while damming the good souls.
They've locked up yours? They've locked up mine.
But somewhere down the line
We decided: if you’re white, you'll get off with a simple fine.

The great debate over morals has to wait.
That's Bubba telling Forest about shrimp on Judgment Day.
We gotta be pragmatic and focus on what matters.
We've got Veterans, kids and mothers, patients going down the gutters
What about taxes? And what about the jobs?

We need to make weed legal, it is time to cut the loss.
To recap: 3.2 hundred million
American civilians are missing out on billions.
Booze, tobacco, pharma and prisons are leading this grand shakeout,
There's nothing left to say or do.
We're done. We need a bill out!

It's time to close the fracture, weed is not the malefactor.
We can't just let it play out.
For some, death is less that a year out.

It’s non-partisan.
The hard part is in convincing Congress legalization matters
So their hearts get in the fight.
Not to get high.
But for relief.

A belief that there’s a leaf that can help millions ease their grief.
Sean Spicer, I'll buy your alternative “facts,”
I’ll play board-games with the Kushners',
I'll wear a Trump campaign hat.
Our citizens are suffering. Stop the Madness, it's just pot.
Help our patients, all that’s needed is ONE law.
