Nothing goes better with adult use cannabis than a tune that slaps. Cannabis has influenced music in an immeasurable way and music has impacted society profoundly. Music and cannabis have been intertwined since the early days of jazz. They both make you nostalgic and warm inside, remembering often simpler times. Countless artists have used cannabis as their muse and so many great songs have been written about the plant. RiverBluff Cannabis knows it is a fool’s errand to try to cover them all, but they did pick a dozen that stand out from the crowd. So, kick back in the cut, fire one up, and let’s learn about some musical weed stuff!
That Old Old
- Up in Smoke by Cheech and Chong: When people hear Up in Smoke by Cheech and Chong they immediately think of the movie, but the movie’s theme has been a staple for cover musicians like this cover by Hank Williams III. It is timeless. Check out this Northern Heights Lemon OG Haze for 7g for $68 by Oregonix while listening to this tune.
- Panama Red by The New Riders of the Purple Sage: This song is probably the least known song on the list but undoubtedly deserves its spot due to a cult-like obsession for the song. The Boomers love it, Generation X respects it, and everyone else should listen at least once to this classic by a little-known band. This may not be Panama Red but it may be better: Northern Heights Strawberry Gary 7g by Oregonix Farms for $68.
- Rainy Day Woman 12 & 35 by Bob Dylan: The most iconic artist on list by far. Bob Dylan has written many songs but only one has been tied so closely to cannabis. From the opening notes of Rainy Day Woman 12 & 35 cannaconsumers scramble to spark up. Pair a Rainy Day Woman with Best Kept Secret Rainbows at Night #3 3.5g by Legacy for $42.
The New Classics
- Burn One Down by Ben Harper: This song encapsulates everything a cannaconsumer feels when someone complains about their consumption. A Ben Harper show just turns into a cloud when this song plays. It is an amazingly underrated song. What better way to enjoy it than with this NuEra Fire Berries 3.5g by IESO for $44.
- Smoke Two Joints by Sublime: Who knows how big Sublime would have gotten without the death of Bradley Noel. Still, in their short time together they pumped out ganja loving song after ganja loving song and became a stapple in many stoners’ playlists. Still, none of their songs embrace cannabis culture as much as Smoke Two Joints. If you want to smoke two joints before you smoke two joints and then smoke 2 more, you’ll need at least 6 joints like in this Northern Heights Sherb Cake Preroll 6pk 3g by Oregonix for $48.
- Because I Got High by Afroman: This comedic song has made it onto several soundtracks and made Afroman a household name for a few years. It is a satire of how cannabis makes you unmotivated, sung by a man who clearly smokes and took this track to number 1 in several countries and to number 13 on the hot 100 Billboard chart. Not bad for an unmotivated stoner. If you want to get knocked as silly as Afroman is in this song, try this Tical Love Jones Rosin Infused Preroll 4pk 2g for $62.
- Pass Me the Green by Master P: The album Ghetto D is filled with cannabis references. The No Limit crew used every slang term for cannabis they could on P’s classic album, but this song was infectious. When giving it a listen, try out a Supreme Diesel 3.5g by Nature’s Grace for $38.
- Hits From the Bong by Cypress Hill: From the beginning sample of Son of a Preacher Man listeners know just what to do. A staple of cannabis lover’s playlists, Hits from the Bong is a near perfect weed anthem.
- I Got 5 On It by Luniz: This song holds a special place in the heart of RiverBluff as they used it on one of their first pieces of merch, a t-shirt with Abe Lincoln on it that said, “I got 5 on it.” For that reason it needed to be on this list. If you only got 5 on it, get your Weedvengers assembled and pick up this Chilled Cherries 3.5g by Galaxy Labs for $36.
The New New
- Still Blazin’ by Wiz Kahlifa: Of the modern hip hop stars, Wiz has been the most involved in cannabis culture, owning several lines of products in the industry. It was difficult picking one song from his discography but in the end, it had to be Still Blazin’. If you want to blow it by the O like Wiz, hop on a couple of these Paul Bunyan Champion City Chocolate 14g by PTS for $120.
- Smoking Dope and Rock and Roll by Andy Frasco and the U.N: Panama Red may have been the least known song on this list, but Andy Frasco and the U.N. are the least known act. They are the new hippies spreading peace and love and Smoking Dope and Rock and Roll is a must listen song.
- High By the Beach by Lana Del Ray: This isn’t the happiest of songs about getting high but sometimes a sad song is required to remind you it is a good time to get high. Who doesn’t want to get High by The Beach? If you are thinking about getting high by a beach why not take a Fox River Chem 3.5g by IC Collective for $37.50.
