It’s summer, and that means it’s time to get together with friends and family, some of whom definitely partake. Do you have a playlist for these times? It’s not hard to put together a banging summer soundtrack for these barbecues, parties, and al fresco sessions.
A cannabis-themed collection of cuts will inevitably include chestnuts such as Peter Tosh’s “Legalize It,” Luniz’s “I Got 5 on It,” or virtually anything from Snoop Dogg. Compiling a list of all the songs I could think of that have a reference to cannabis in some form—growing, smuggling, consuming, selling—quickly turned into a lengthy yet enjoyable YouTube rabbit-hole session. Cannabis is referenced in nearly every musical genre, save for Christian music. (And as far as that last category goes, there may be some pro-weed Christian artists of which I am not aware, but the “Puff Puff Pray” tracks are few and far between, if they even exist.)
