[Chorus]
Legalize it don't criticize it,
Legalize it yea-ah-yea-ah,
And I will advertise it
Some call it tamjee,
Some call it the weed,
Some call it marijuana,
Some of them call it ganja,
Never mind, got to.

Singers smoke it,
And players of instrument, too
Legalize it, yea-ha, yea-ah
That's the best thing you can do,
Doctors smoke it,
Nurses smoke it,
Judges smoke it,
Even la wyer, too
So you've got to

[Chorus]

It's good for the flu
Good for asthma,
Good for tuberculosis,
Even numara thrombosis
Go to

[Chorus]

Birds eat it,
Ants love it,
Fowls eat it,
Goats love to play with it
So you've got to

[Chorus]

    General Comment:When I wake up in the morning, and I cough, nothing gets cleared out. It continues like that, with nothing getting cleared out until I take of hit of ganja. It definitely helps my asthma.

    General Comment:as a matter of fact, I know a very successful lawyer who enjoys a good smoke. So yes, Doctors and lawyers enjoy the ganja. marijuana has also been proven to be useful in numerous medical conditions.
    so the question remains, why does cannabis remain a schedule I drug when several states have legalized its medical use?

    General Comment:airways in your lungs, that is.*

    As opposed to tobacco smoke, which restricts your airways

    General Comment:"Smoking pot doesn't help any of the sicknesses he listed."

    As a matter of fact, I think you're wrong.

    For one, marijuana smoke opens up airways, thusly, it helps asthma patients.

    Also, marijuana smoke inhibits vomitting. Therefore it makes having the flu a little bit more comfortable.

    "As old as History itself, both Cannabis and Tuberculosis have been an important part of mankind's development [1]. Now new reports have opened up new avenues for research. Cannabis Seeds & Extracts were long thought to be among the only ethnobotanicals effective against TB, but the link remained elusive [2]. Then with Cannabis Prohibition all such research was stopped"

    I have no information about Thrombosis, but Peter Tosh knew what he was talking about, and dreamer, you're a moron. Know your facts before you post.

    General Comment:I agree Peter Tosh is a great singer and is pretty cool. I like this song but I do think it's funny. Birds eat it? And then the bird noises. Yeah I don't know about the plausibility of the song, but animals and rich/sucessful people do love it, so he gets the point across.

    General Comment:dreamer, do you know that from a first-hand experience or what? is that a fact? i don't think so. yeah, it is mostly smoking, but many people eat cannibis sativa.

    i agree with tosh's message, but some of the lyrics are exaggerated, like the doctors and lawyers smoking it. some might, but most of them are braindead drones just following the laws.
