THE BARD ON THE SKUNK CASH MACHINE

Skunk (definition): Strong Weed. Ridiculously strong. Usually grown outdoors. It is a guaranteed f**king-up. This is the kind of weed that leaves you sitting there giggling for twenty minutes, your legs numb, your mind completely bricked, and your hands so twitchy you keep spilling the bongwater all over the floor. Another definition - only slightly different - is found on this link.

THE SKUNK CASH MACHINE 

The future to pot, Government’s bought,
Hundreds of jobs, excitement has caught.
Plants plan to proceed, now guaranteed:
Twelve tonnes to process has been agreed. 



Industry, Innovation, Tourism, Culture,
Joints Cannabis Growth, supply to ensure: 
All sectors to gain in effort to seed,
Farmers and bakers and tokers of weed. 

Future is bright when viewed from a High, 
The Provincial problems no more stultify.
Disfunction and debt disappear in a haze - 
Hallucinations!          With eyeballs ablaze. 

The effect on society, pot to bestow? -
Paranoia, schizophrenia, blood pressure low: 
“Adverse effects,” with addiction and crime, 
Social and medic costs certain to climb.

Medical benefits tooted are moot, 
Focus on taxes and jobs union suit.
Markets in rush, a bonanza foreseen; 
Few to condemn this skunk cash machine.
