Marijuana is legal to smoke in 41 states in the U.S. I use it once in a while for pain and once in a while for pleasure. There are many different names that poeple call it. Back when I first started indulging, my friends and I called a joint a (Bone). Before it was legal of course (lol)

All I need is a little weed to get me through my day So, Ill lick some glue on "Big Bamboo" and I'll roll myself a jay I don't need much of nothing and nothing needs much of me As long as I can live my life Feeling good and all pain free Oh, my, my I'm feeling high And I can't think of nothing to say My oh my, yes I'm kind of high And I think I kind of like it that way Smokin' bones soothes my bones And it makes me feel okay I had my thrills with non-sense pills So, I gave them all away I had a close call with alcohol Well, I drank till I stank my beard But I must admit that I had to quit Started feeling all wacky and weird Heck, all I need is a little weed That'll get me through my day So, I'll lick that glue on "Big Bamboo" and I'll smoke myself a jay

my brother loved 'smokin' bones' I can honestly say I never imbibed. He, however, was kind of addicted. Have a pleasant evening, Sara

Hi Sara, thanks for reading and commenting on this. Smokin' bones is for some, but there is certainly nothing wrong with NOT smoking at all. It is however recommended by some doctors to ease pain and aches. Good for you for not ever trying it...3 of my siblings smoked it and the other 3 have not. Have a wonderful week my dear friend. Hugs Charlie
