I smoked up at fourteen with romantic notions Of poets across the Atlantic Ocean doped up on morphine I was hoping the stuff would be an infinite source of dreams I wanted to see if it was a portal to the immortal stream Or just a weed so I sowed the seeds Hoping there was more to see, and with more attempts To score a glimpse into the vortex of hemps Female sex organs, I was just more convinced Of the transformative potential of my distorted senses With the doors of perception open everything gets more intense Every chore is an adventure and trip to the store a quest To explore foreign destinations, or a test Of orientation, if you forget your address My objective was to lower stress But the side effects were quite the opposite With blood clots in my eye sockets My optical field was myopic Short sighted, I would often fly off topic Preoccupied by the microscopic I entirely lost sight of my higher project Plus I was exhausted time for a diagnostic From Betty Ford I guess I was ready for it Before I knew it I was twentyfour And I couldnt think of any reason to do it any more Dr. Greenthumb, whyd you stop my dreams comin? Numbin me slow, leavin my mind stream stumblin Drainin me dry of my deep need to be somethin Put my feet up and Im a slave to weed burnin Curled up in a fetal position, a baby on beanbag Evil visions flutter round me as I lean back Seein spiders creeping in the shadows on the ceiling Insects steal inside my neckline, I can feel em Even my friends are mocking me, I can hear it In their vocal tones, social misfit losing hope alone I need a cup of tea, and a blanket to cover me Feelin uppity cant catch the subtleties But for some reason I wrap up another reefer and suddenly My head is muddled utterly Fuckin freak My friends are muttering now my words are tumblin out All wrong, mouth closing and opening Where is this rhyme supposed to be goin? Whats wrong with Rowan? Dr. Greenthumb, whyd you stop my dreams comin? Numbin me slow, leavin my mind stream stumblin Drainin me dry of my deep need to be somethin Put my feet up and Im a slave to weed burnin
