As the decades old battle between different governments and citizens continues to rage over legalizing marijuana, it is safe to say law and order has done very little to keep humanity from those leaves of psychedelia. Researches, debates and moralities aside, a plain and simple fact is: people smoke weed, they get high and they love the feeling. It’s only recently that the world has slowly started wrapping its head around the idea of marijuana as a clinical as well as a recreational drug, with a handful of countries legalizing its use to varied extents. Art and artists, however, have always had a close tie with the blunt. And thanks to them, we have a long list of songs about marijuana that work just well to give you a high on their own.
Some of these most iconic weed songs include:
Ganja Gun By Bob Marley
Starting with the legend, groove your body and slide into the high when Marley’s raw voice sings,
“You know I smoke a de ganja all a de time
Some’s de ganja when I’m with friends
We gonna some’s de ganja until the very end”.
Because I Got High By Afroman
“I was gonna clean my room until I got high
I was gonna get up and find the broom but then I got high”
Afroman sings in this song from his 2001 album of the same name. The track rose from obscurity to extreme popularity and went on to be featured in The Howard Stern Show.
High By The Beach By Lana Del Rey
As if her voice was not trippy enough, Lana sings in this track,
“All I wanna do is get high by the beach
Get high baby, baby, bye bye”
…and honestly, this sounds like the best post breakup therapy-beaches and blunts!
Cigarettes And Cush By Stromzy Ft. Kehlani
“You got those cigarettes and cush
You don’t ever let me down”
When you have cush and mix the vocals of Stormzy and Kehlani and roll them up in a song like this, of course, it will get you high like nothing else.
Habits By Tove Lo
If you ever thought your break up was bad, you need to listen to this one and you will feel better immediately. Tove Lo’s raspy voice mixed with a trippy music track with her singing
“Spend my days locked in a haze
trying to forget babe, I fall back down
I gotta stay high, all my life, to forget
I’m missing you”.
With 4/20 approaching, no matter what your “plans” might be for that day, these tracks have got your back to guarantee psychedelic ecstasy. And let’s agree to disagree, trips are only fun until they are to the lock up and high on music is the best kind of high. Happy jamming!
