Hino Nacional da Maconha (Explicit)

In the beginning, chapter one, verse eleven
And God said: Let the earth bring forth green herb
Herb that yields seed
And when I die, I want to be cremated
So my ashes can feed the herbs
And the herbs can feed the minds of crazies like me

Legalize
Cannabis has been used for hundreds of years
And was only prohibited in 1961 due to political pressure and corporate lobbying
One million and five hundred thousand people smoke marijuana daily in Brazil
In Colorado, the chances of crimes
Were reduced by five percent in the first months after legalization
Two hundred and twelve million reais were earned by the Colorado government
From the sale of marijuana in just four months

O beloved, idolized homeland, hail, hail
Better Uruguay than Kuwait
Better Amsterdam than Iraq
If you're stylish, legalize

The prohibition funds the trafficking, not the user
If the State is democratic
I decide what I do
Sell it in pharmacies, can charge a tax and fund primary education

The big bosses are the owners of the Senzala
They don't live in the slums, life of a soap opera, controlling the hills from a room
Two thousand years before Christ, the Indians were already smoking
Without a rolled pipe like any weed
Prohibited a hundred years ago by the tobacco industry
Females give the high from the harvest
But why do you not accept that all marijuana is a drug?
The flower of the plantation I went to pick from the plant
They said it was illegal, why?
Let me plant for free
Cachaça is more harmful than THC

Two years after legalization
Uruguay reduced to zero the number of deaths
Related to the use and trade of marijuana
In Israel, despite medical marijuana being prohibited
It can be used even in the form of cakes and cookies

Fifty-two percent decrease
In the number of murders in the state of Colorado after legalization
Creation of ten thousand direct job positions in the Cannabis Sativa industry

Even Abraham Lincoln was a pothead
Che Guevara, Tom, Vinicius, Tarantino, Nietzsche
Every police van has a bit of a slave ship
As if smoking marijuana was worse than whiskey

Because all, all, all, all
All neurons, of all, uh, I forgot what
All people have cannabinol receptors
But hey, that doesn't differentiate the bad from the good

Plants are divine without chemical process
It's the good, it's the good, it's the good of the can
How can a state of mind be illegal
Preventing my trips to thousands of galaxies

Plants are from God and laws are from men
I smoke mine, some people eat theirs
Right to consume
Right to smoke, inhale, pass, cough, and laugh

Seventy-six million dollars in taxes
Were invested in schools
And improvements in public education

The state of São Paulo has a hundred and thirty-eight thousand prisoners for drug trafficking
And each one costs thirteen hundred reais per month

Fifty percent of those arrested for selling marijuana in Brazil
Have no criminal record
Don't carry weapons and have less than a hundred grams
At the time of the arrest

Every pothead is a bit of Gandhi
We just want peace, love, and Skank
All blood brothers
And the green, the green of the Flag

A shoutout to Bezerra and a shoutout to Gabeira
Cannabis is medicine for terminal patients
Better than Rivotril
Better than aspirin
Compared to what the aunties use, marijuana is like candy

It's like candy, it's all kinds of pills, makes your jaw drop
No prescription and no leaflet
It's prejudice, potheads are not criminals, they're citizens
I pay taxes from August to August according to the law

Marijuana is older than writing
Enough with criticism
Truce in the war
No more Police

Understand, it's Sensimilla
Legalize, Cannabis sativa
Hey, doctor, I don't want to climb the hill

Even Cabral had candles
Let me and my candles
I want peace for the slums
Free the good herb

Eight million Brazilians admitted to smoking marijuana in the last year
Marijuana use dropped by two percent in the United States
Immediately after legalization

In the Netherlands, where marijuana is legalized, the consumer rate
Is lower than all countries in Europe
In the United States, over twenty states
Have already legalized the use of medical marijuana
