Going to Pot
Amsterdam to the Berkshires
By: Charles Giuliano - Jul 18, 2019
Going to Pot
Wake and bake
Coffee, reefer, and Globe
Breakfast of Champions
Ended twenty-five years ago
Month after meeting Astrid
One or the other
Not a hit since
Even when offered
On the sly at parties
Recalling coffee shop in Amsterdam
Carefree bachelor days
Diverse menu of options
This one for walks in the woods
Another for reading books
Staring at a spot on the ceiling
I can see for miles and miles and miles
Bought a lid of skunk
Three kinds of hash
Rolled a big spliff
Went to the movies
Reefer in one hand Grolsch in other
Up on the screen
Val Kilmer in Doors
Wicked cool
Riders of the Storm
Fell into a dream
All my friends vaping
On drive to Pillow
Me and the Mrs.
Checked out a pot shop
Canna Provisions in Lee
Late on a weekday
No lines just walked in
Escorted to his cubicle
Shit eating grin
Gave us the pitch
Got any Acapulco Gold
How about some Panama Red
Perhaps you carry Thai Sticks
Looked at me kindah weird
Heard tell of them
Way back when
Showed me new hybrids
Banana, Death Star, Peppermint Kush
New stash just come in
That very day
No reviews yet
All locally grown
Here in Taxachusetts
Taking its cut
Town making money
Hand over fist
Sending every kid to college
Vape cartridges, edibles, concentrates, topicals
No free samples
Look but don’t touch
For every urge, pain or mood
Downright expensive
Just a little bit
Not much of a hit
Fifty five bucks
For an eighth of an oz
Like old dime bags
Street reefer
How much for a lid
Norm for a week or two
Now out of our league
Better stick to champagne
Make it Dom Perignon
If you catch the drift
Weed all sensimilla
I asked a simple question
The kid was stumped
Like no seeds I said
Yeah like that
So how do you grow your own
That gets tricky
Know somebody who knows somebody
Cost eight bucks each
Said local grower
For one friggin seed
It was getting late
No time to decide
Astrid weighed in
If you do I do
Family that vapes together
Glued to the tube
Maybe some munchies
Have to think it over
No rush for now
Eggnog at Christmas
Moosh magique
Dancing in the fire
Boogie nights of reefer madness
God bless friggin America
Home of the brave
Land of free base
Hail to the bong show
Commander in bleep
