Götz Widmann is a Legend in the German Cannabis Scene, especially older Folks know him very well. I went to a Concert Last year, it was an extraordinary experience. Everybody was singing along, in every Song. (Lucky Guy, His Last Name Sounds Like weedm'n)

He used to be Part of a two man band, called Joint Venture, sadly Kleinti passend away very early. Götz was losing His best friend and the music Scene and Cannabis Community lost a kreative Spirit.

OK, enough background information, here are the lyrics



"Imagine there was a tax that people liked to pay

And every time they paid it, they'd glow with happiness

Millions of people would love to do it over and over again

And it's not out of the question that there'd soon be even more

It would create businesses that would pay even more taxes

It would benefit health and weaken crime

A tax that the taxpayer loves

Don't say such a thing doesn't exist!



To collect this tax

You just have to legalize hash!

Legal raw materials would certainly be half as expensive

Suddenly there's a lot of room for a tax

Let's say two euros per gram

Two thousand per kilogram

Two million for a ton!

And there's a lot of hemp growing under the sun

All the money is given away

Simply sunk into the black money swamp



To collect this money

You just have to legalize hash!



And the dealers would pay taxes, adhere to the laws

And create a few thousand entirely legal jobs

The police would be relieved, as would the courts

The relief for those affected is a whole different story

To some honest taxpayers, just because they like to smoke a joint

This shitty law has already crushed their existence

If you could buy your hash in state-controlled stores

That'd be a few billion euros more for work, education, pensions!



To collect the billions

You just have to legalize hash!



How many who are now sitting uselessly behind bars

Could be much more useful to society if they were free

Instead of producing costs, contributing their share

And the civilians hanging around here could chase terrorists. Yeeeaahhh....

I can't understand any of this!

You just have to legalize hash!
You just have to legalize hash!
You just have to legalize hash!"

Thnx mate! Powerful message
Yeah it is a song that adresses a major problem of prohibition with a smart solution that should convince even the most conservative (and greedy) politicians.

Another great one of götz:
Zöllner vom Vollzug abhalten auf der A4

A reference to an important highway that crosses the Dutch-German border. The police are known to carry out drug checks there. The song is about how to stop customs officers from carrying out checks and how to annoy them. He gives examples such as smearing weed in the upholstery so that the dogs react, putting men's underpants in the car and listening to Peter Tosh loudly, carrying rosemary in sachets, etc.
You would love the song!
