Santana Has A Dream…

Carlos Santana thinks humanity would be better served with the legalization of marijuana and envisions a time when people of all races and creeds can gather in parent’s basements across America to watch Up In Smoke with no fear of criminal prosecution.

“Legalize marijuana and take all that money and invest it in teachers and in education,” Santana said in an interview with a talking dog. “You will see a transformation in America.”

According to Santana, the continued criminalization of marijuana use parallels the Federal Government’s misguided attempt to outlaw alcohol during the 1920’s.

“[It’s] really way overdue, like the prohibition with the alcohol and stuff like that,” he said eloquently.

The legendary guitarist then used the platform to launch a thinly veiled attack against California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

“I really believe that as soon as we legalize and decriminalize marijuana we can actually afford a really good governor who won’t keep taking money away from education and from teachers and send him back to Hollywood where he can do ‘D’ movies and we can get an ‘A’ governor,” Santana said.

When asked about retirement, Santana admitted to having a direct phone line to God, which he uses regularly to stay in contact with his BFF.

“God was cracking up. He thought it was a good joke,” he said, with eyes presumably half glazed over. “So I said, ‘Okay.’ Every time I want to make him laugh I tell him my plans. So we’ll see.”

Santana then stared at the back of his hand for an hour and asked if, “Anyone else was hungry.”
