The virtures of Hemp/herb/ weed/ganja RasPadaItion used the following Poem at the formal launching of the Legalize Ganja Campaign at the Terra nova Hotel in St. Andrews on October 15 1996.

Let us talk about Ganja, yes the Ses indeed

A di same thing yu did call it hemp but now yu call it weed

Now let us discuss marijuana a di Wiseness weed

A it wi need if we intend fi succeed.

 

Verse 1

The herb provides a higher meditation, it is a means of increasing production

Bringing in much needed foreign exchange and decreasing devaluation

And from di seed of pot yu extract a number of non-toxic paints & varnishes

And a list of medication with uses for too much fi mention

While on hemp paper was written the first and second draft of the United States constitution

 

In the 1930s hemp posed a threat to large companies, businesses, and corporations

And that is a fact

So in 1937 U.S.A passed the marijuana tax act

Which they hoped would help the keep the revolutionary hippies in tact


 

Verse 2

You claim it will fry my brain or even make me go insane

Yet you ignore the killers salt, sugar, crack and cocaine

You claim my memory I will not be able to retain

But keep on wishing cause we will never forget the millions of blood yu drain in vain

Anyway let us closely examine the brain you claim will go insane

On this brain is a little gland, very vital, center of wiseness, Jahs’, gift to Solomon

The Inner Eye of the Rastaman, scientist calls it the pineal gland.

This gland is responsible for higher mental operations

Like analysis, synthesis, perception and evaluation

But guess what?

This gland is cover by a layer of metaphorical fat

Calli cannabis consumption can remove that.


 

Verse 3

Herb was vital to the American economy, and in it is true

If you do not believe me well hear this is a clue

When men were drafted to fight in world war II

Weed planters were exempted because of the herb they grew

They were requested to stay home keeping their sons to help them plant herb too

Even now the number of legal hemp farm in US is far from few

If herb is so vital to the great US can it not help Jamaica Too?
