Legalized Danger

I wrote my final research paper on the legalization of recreational marijuana use.  I think that whether you would smoke marijuana or not, it's kind of obvious that if alcohol and tobacco are legal, marijuana should be too. Maybe not. Just my opinion. 

For that research paper, I had to do a re-purposing project.... so here is my poem about legalizing recreational marijuana use!

When you are 18, here is something you can do,

 

Get a piercing, or a tattoo.

Then you turn 19, and you can bet,

You can buy some cigarettes.

Two years later when you’re old and wiser,

You can drink some Jagermeister.

If that’s too strong, do not fear,

Just relax and drink some beer.

You can ride a bull or fight terrorists,

You can do a lot of crazy dangerous shit.

You can jump from a plane up in the sky,

But that’s the only legal way to get high.

You can fly in a plane, or drive a car,

Some go fast and some go far.

These things are dangerous, but legal indeed,

 

So why can’t my friend smoke some weed?

You can write to a senator, or even Obama,

So our people can smoke marijuana.
