New years and the legalization of.....(HEY NORA BILLY)

I wasn't sure if I should put this in the music page or not :idk:

I just saw the Sword play on New Year's Eve here in Denver. They played about one more song after midnight rolled around, then for their encore..... they all came back out onstage with mini-bongs and lit up before playing "Maiden Mother and Crone." That moment felt pretty weird. Weed immediately followed by "bah, bah!!!!" (that's my stoner rock noise) and the whole venue toking. I haven't smoked in a couple years but it was still a really cool moment. It felt historical somehow. Maybe I'm blowing it out of proportion, but it felt cool. Weed is legal here now, officially, if I'm not somehow mistaken (like I said, I haven't smoked in a while.....) The future is here and more shit is getting better!!!!!! It allllmost makes me want to go to the store tomorrow..... just because I fucking can. The future. Is. Here.

I just wanted to express that sentiment. :rock:

I've never smoked weed, but if this were to happen here I'd go buy some and gift it to my friends in celebration.

Thank you for thinking about me on this special day.

Owsley and Charlie, twins of the trade,
Come to the Poet's Room
Talking about the problems of the leaf,
And yes, it'll be back soon

There used to be tons of gold and green
Comin' up here from Mexico
A donde esta la planta, mi amigo, del sol?
[The translation is: "Where is the plant, my friend, of the sun."]

But Mexico is under the thumb
Of a man we call Richard
And he's come to call himself king
But he's a small-headed man
And he doesn't know a thing
About how to deal for you

How to deal for you
There are millions of you now
I mean it's not as if you were alone
There are brothers everywhere
Just waiting for a toke on that gold
And God knows how far it can go

You're famous Uncle Charlie
For your Mexican smoke
You're a legend Owsley
For your righteous dope

There were a half a million people on the lawn
And we sang to the faces in the dawn
How long will that damn race
Wait for the jailer's time to end?
How long will the Panther race
Wait for the iron bars to bend?
And no no no no no nobody waits

Jack Casady looks like he has done some drugs in his lifetime. And he is only 25 in this pic. Let this be a lesson to all you wannabe dopers. This could be you (without the money, fame, and sex with Grace Slick).

Yeah, though I'm not sure what their time frame is like. I just hope it doesn't cause a super-huge influx of people into our area and drive the cost of living up and turn the area into some ridiculous high-priced landlocked San Francisco type of place. That's my only concern, really. Other than that, it's cool.

Right now it's a "grey market"

Stores are supposed to open in June.

I have not smoked in about a decade but I might go toke one just to celebrate. Legalization and taxation/regulation is the right way to do it.

If you want to hook up with Grace Slick, that is your business. I am not here to judge you.

Team, after you watch that tasty nugget I urge you to do drugs, and listen to this album in full and report back. If you come back.
