Let’s roll a joint for Uncle Sam
Help him mellow out… of Afghanistan
Reduce his inflammation, help him be all he can
Let’s roll a joint for Uncle Sam
Notice how we pass the doob’ around
Sharing don’t have to bring you down
Peer-reviewed scientists have found
What goes around really comes around
Let’s grow hemp for Uncle Sam
Make it organic and potent as we can
Support small farmers and a public option plan
Let’s grow hemp for Uncle Sam
Let’s help him see it don’t make sense
To hit first and call it “defense”
So, let’s roll a joint for Uncle Sam
Reduce his stress, help him be all he can
And stop the next war in advance—
Hands off Iran!
Let’s roll a joint for Uncle Sam
—An anonymous contribution to O’Shaughnessy’s, Summer 2010. Rick Steves, the great travel guide and pot partisan had just come back from Iran and was trying to counter the war talk. Seems more timely than ever.
