Today is the four hundred twentieth Day of the year. It is a very special day for my people. Many aspects of this culture have been encoded in various popular music artifacts of western culture, one of my favorite artists that has dealt with this is Tupac. If I had more money would be pouring out liquor for him today. Tupacs "Changes" discusses :
"It's war on the streets and the war in the Middle East Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs"
Pac also discussed the stupid war on drugs in "Ghetto Gospel:" thusly
"But am I less holy 'Cause I chose to puff a blunt and drink a beer with my homies"
Pac was not the only artist that discussed this divine substance, but the way he discussed it is still relevant today. They still got a failed war on poverty and failed wars in the middle east. And they got nearly 1% of us here in Murca behind bars, many for nonviolent conduct. Revelations 22:2 asserts:
"the leaves of the trees are for the healing of nations"

It is sad that Rastafarian faith and the miracle cannabis plant continues to be outlawed, and in some areas where permitted under state law, under markets that are very uncompetitive. Did you know that Rand Corp's 2010 research on the costs of legal sensimllia, seedless as high as $80-200 per lb for indoor, or $8-10 per lb for outdoor, but possibly below $1 per lb for outdoor. It is despicable the prices for this substance in CA and CO today--yea it legal in 1984.
Happy 4/20! Thanks for your post. You've inspired me to play some Tupac. I'll pour some of this Jack for him.
It is sad indeed that this divine plant is outlawed in so many places. And the legal prices are indeed despicable. The thought of $1 lb of outdoor is absolutely mind blowing right now but could be the standard if the plant were truly legal and allowed to grow like the weed that it is.
C'est la vie, thanks glad you enjoyed it. Hope the weekend is going well for you and that the holidaze were enjoyable.
Cool Jack Daniels bong!
not sure if that is a bong? Just looks like a bottle?
Well done, from my point we need a war on ignorance
Great post from you
Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it, hope you are doing well bud!!
Happy 4:20!!! Great post, resteemed!
Thanks, hope 420 went well for you!!! Have a nice weekend!
Tupac's music certainly did focus on a lot many societal issues. It was, i might say, more than just the beats, but the message.
And certainly more than just about 'love' and 'adoration' .
A complete contrast to much of today's music that is either about 'love' for man or woman, or something related.
He is an artist much missed.
Indeed, very sad . So it goes. Today's music for the most part seems even worse and more devoid of value as what George Ritzer may call "nothing" not being tied to a location, or time and space. Thanks for your ideas, hope steem is going well for you!
Oh it is. Steem has thus far been a roller coaster ride for me. Thanks
c'est la vie, hope there are a lot more ups than downs for you!!
Blaze it, brothers!
Yep, what a fun day!
