I'd never heard of him before a couple of years ago, and after hearing this song I went on a little bit of a binge. I like his stuff, but this one always sticks in my mind and recently popped back up on my radar. I love a song that tells a story, and this one tells a great one in my opinion, and it's cleverly written in a way, that each of the people the law protects the public from gets worse.
I will have to go down a little Kris Kristofferson rabbit hole myself, based on that tune, it's very good.
Ah The Streets, funny I have not listened to Mike in ages and only yesterday another #ttt post had 3 of his tunes, and now here you are with one too, good synchronicity..
I'll say, there are tons of benefits to using the plant itself, paper, clothing, you name it, hemp can be used in a lot of ways. But, smoking it every day is harmful as hell, especially to the mind. Everything in moderation, as they say. Stoners have a way of justifying daily consumption, I was guilty of it too. I was highly functioning, even at that though, in ways I lacked motivation. While it didn't disrupt my life completely, I do think it slowed me down.
Interesting perspective, especially given that you travelled the road yourself, I think you are right, there are pros and cons, but smoking every day is addiction territory really regardless of what it is, good on yiu for knocking it on the head and you are ten times more productive now I am sure, which is cool too and you can still have the odd spliff and will get a way better buzz of it too as you are not so used to it anymore.
Stupid Questions - New Model Army --- Nice one man, it will be cool to see these boys at the festival and I reckon there will be a few joints smoked for the occasion too! Ha ha, and why not, all about moderation... Massive congrats to you and the boys on getting a slot, nice one.
