Cannabinoid Fandom

          Cannabinoid Fandom

We’re coming, we’re coming, our brave little band

Adoring Cannabis we do take our stand

We don’t like tobacco, too much makes you die

That sure gets you down but it can’t get you high

Chorus:

Hooray, hooray for THC

For CBD, for THCV

Hooray, hooray for THC

That’s the song of cannabinoid fandom

Oh, this is a weed many people impugn

They say that it turns a man into a loon

Amidst all these filkers I must disagree

I don’t see a one who is saner than me

(Chorus)

They say that it changes your time and your space

And also that memory loses its place

Now let me explain why these claim are all wrong…

… I think I’ve forgotten this part of the song

(Chorus)

Now, some SF books with enough pot will click

Read R. Anton Wilson or Philip K. Dick

Yes, SF and smoking combined will engage

That is, if your eyes do not drift off the page

(Chorus)

Some levels of usage we don’t recommend

A fellow one shared seven pounds with a friend

By joint ninety-nine he was talking with God

The next thing he did was exceedingly odd

(Chorus)

We know it’s illegal but this will not last

The sales are high and the money’s amassed

With votes, cash and more cash the weed will hold sway

For that, my friend is the American Way

(Chorus)

We’ve heard lots of songs praising Tullimore Dew

(pause to toke)

We think marijuana deserves some praise too

Yet with our acclaim, there is bad news to tell:

It’ll lead you to fandom, and filking as well

(Chorus)

We’re coming, we’re coming, our brave little band

We’re dodging patrolmen all over the land

There’s one reason they’d prefer that we drink;

Some smokers, it seems, are still able to think

(Chorus)
