Doctor Marihuana

The song 'Doctor Marihuana' by Cartel de Santa, a Mexican hip-hop group known for their controversial lyrics and criticism of societal norms, delves into the contentious debate surrounding marijuana use versus prescription medication. The lyrics present a dialogue between the artist and a doctor who advises against the use of marijuana, suggesting it is harmful and recommending prescription drugs like Rivotril (a brand name for Clonazepam) instead.

The artist, Babo, counters the doctor's advice with a personal testament to the creative and inspirational effects of marijuana. He argues that marijuana, grown by humble hands in the mountains, is a natural substance that fuels his thoughts and creativity, unlike the synthetic drugs prescribed by the medical establishment. The song also touches on the hypocrisy of a system that criminalizes marijuana while allowing pharmaceutical companies to profit from addictive prescription drugs. Babo's lyrics suggest that the government and those in power are the real 'crazy' ones for perpetuating this system.

Big Man, another member of the group, continues the theme, expressing his preference for marijuana as a source of inspiration and relaxation. He criticizes the doctor's narrow perspective and advocates for the freedom to use marijuana, which he sees as a harmless and even beneficial herb. The song ultimately calls for the legalization of marijuana and a return to personal freedom and celebration, challenging the status quo and the control exerted by authorities over individual choices.
