Hands
John Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the morning light
And you know the feelings
Gonna make you feel alright
Almost close enough to
Hold out your hand
Span the distance, store resistance
All you've got to do is
Hold out your hand
For the treasures of the universe
Are lying at your feet
You can hide it, lose it
But it's always found
You can laugh it off
But it always comes
Back on you, so true
True is true enough to
Hold out your hand
Forward motion, life promotion
To reverse is to repeat
All you've got to do is
Hold out your hand
For the treasures of the universe
Are lying at your feet
Hold out your hand
Span the distance, store resistance
To attack is to retreat
Almost close enough to
Hold out your hand
For the treasures of the universe
Are lying at your feet

nice tree ive read old studies
Very old
That is caused all kinds of problems
Weed numbs ur brain
Frontal lobes
The gov is promoting it
To dumb down society
From what ive seen
People ive known ruined there lives w weed
It made them do stupid things
And many lost there familys
Went to prison
Im not against hemp
It has all the benefits
@abroamg
The only way marijuana is adictive is when it is a go to to "treat" unhappyness without changing your surroundings, life and lifestyle. I have seen people get consumed by them doing nothing in life and cloak the unsatisfaction with thc and other drugs, and them having nothing makes them "addicted" to marijuana for having any enjoyment in life. This is not a problem of marijuana, but of the individuals. If you use, please dont forget your life, and improoving it 👍
@AlleyCat-em1ih

Cannibis is a natural plant and herb - I wish everyone would get that thru their thick heads!
@NathanMulder
Well I don´t like much about the regulation in the Netherlands, yet I do like that we are ´allowed´ to buy Marijuana from coffeeshops here and are ´allowed´ to grow 5 plants per person in a household.

He does not support its consumption in the manner you are taking it.
@waveygravey30
To those with a negative experience, you need organically produced completely chemical free happy cannabis....which is hard to produce and therefore hard to find, many get addicted to the effects of chemicals found in mass produced cannabis, if you experience an instant high, that is the chemicals...organically produced cannabis takes longer to be absorbed into your system and leaves the body much slower. The effect is less intense and much more pleasant.
Thank you John for all your teachings!!
@Hyper-Linkman
Do you have any other info on this? I've wondered why weed went from enjoyable with slow onset to overly-intense and anxiety inducing over the course of about 10 years or so from when I'd first started smoking. I'd begun to attribute it to being just me, and decided to stop because I couldn't find any strains that felt right for me. Like you said, that instant high effect is what really started to spoil the experience for me.
