Scripture tells us
God
gave to man
all plants bearing seeds
Jesus was said to
"toke like a Rastafarian"
His humorous parables
were celebrated as astounding
Yet which none could remember
on the following cock's crow
Today may we consider cannabis
under a new grow-light
I take phantom 1oth street
to the etch-a-sketch portal
Making my way
Tagging in
The jury is still out
on this the USA's
first museum show
devoted to cannabis
Louche dame
gets muggled up
Sculpture stoned people like
Entering plant life
herbal consciousness
can be somewhat
disorienting
Nice to see a familiar face
Another one as well
Ben Franklin was an avid hash-eater
He waits for you
to don headphones
Then he speaks to you
directly
A Worldwide figure
of inspiration and truth
to whom smoking ganja was
a sacred practice
Note the word "intellectuals"
on the wall label
Allen and Jack
literary treatments of cannabis
provided me
with early affirmation
of my instinctive love of the herb
Exhibit A:
Association with
the imbelcilic
representations
of Cheech and Chong
When I think of all the stoned
and thoughtful hours
I listened stoned to Miles
or read Jack Kerouac
I recall a satisfied mind
a life well-spent
It was always
an intellectual
"head trip" for me
with added enhancements
to sensuality and fun
Old-fashioned
methodology
of smoking
and edible ingestion
Reminds me that in the 1990s
Joey Know had the idea
to add an old metal hash pipe
to a history display here
showing a bus stop bench
in 60s Berkeley,
We did and photographed it
where it remained for years
Nixon
looking like
the Dick he was
And who knew more
about all things cannabis
than this power-greedy
crook?
Just say
NO!
It's the Mom rules
archetype:
her left eye suffering
her right eye stern
Unforgiving, ask Patti
Our current chief executive
enjoyed his Maui Wowie
regrette rien
How times have changed
Now we have dispensaries
many strains of reliably
superb herb,
a lightening after fifty years
of stepped-up deceit
and propaganda
God's gift to us
Peace and pain relief
enjoyment and health
There's a t-shirt,
A California Bear
hugging the State map
with heraldic pot leaves
Pleasure principle promises
huge commerce
How wistful she looks
Tacky
In the middle of the gallery
most serious cannabis people
I have known dig healthy food
Tackiest of all are
these pervasive semiotics,
Mentioned this to a gallery guide
she said they were
determined to stay "neutral,"
To prominently feature
the lying venality
of the DEA
of Big Pharma,
of the death drug industry
(booze and tobacco),
and of various ignorant
repressive factions
is not what I regard as
neutrality
Think I need
The chill room
Soft chairs
maybe a projection in a corner
Or total immersion
neural pathways
open up
What do you know?
You exit through
the gift shop
Follow the forgotton
furry freaks brothers
Felt a little
like I was being watched
Dude, is there a
chipmunk on my shoulder?
Funny I didn't see any
hoary old "reefer madness"
memorabilia on sale,
Can we forget that shit?
Cannabis users
enjoy lanterns,
Imagining morphisms
My constituency,
Me and Norman Bates
Lose yourself
in color movement
and form
We got the whole world
in our heads
The gift shop almost
seemed designed to appeal
to the stoned and tactile
Time to exit
the cannabis
funhouse
The kids all seems
delighted by the experience
I got an enhanced
contact high from them
God
gave to man
all plants bearing seeds
Pictured:
Super Silver Haze
(clear sativa)
Honey Banana
(heavy hybrid)
