Pain and Pot (or Pot and Pain): an Experiment

Pain killers be damned,

all I need is grass;

I feel like Iıve been slammed

and Iım falling on my ass;

but Iım feeling no pain

in my knees or my back.

I really canıt complain

about the pain I lack.

One problem that does remain

Is how to tell my spouse,

that in order to remove my pain

Thereıll be weed in his house.

This guy has never inhaled smoke

funny or any kind;

he doesnıt think that itıs a joke,

though he says he doesnıt mind.

I have to think about this some more

do I have the right?

Am I permitted to break the law

Cause pain reliefıs in sight?

This aging hippie thinks itıs rad

to smoke grass at this stage

Of life, and would it be so bad

To smoke it at my age?

Oh well, if I can be tattooed,

I puzzle with a sigh,

I donıt think it would be too rude

to now and then get high
