With Freak Easter just around the corner, aside from stocking up on your favorite goodies, a well-curated playlist is essential. Here are ten jams that’ll rock your world sonically while the mighty leaf does its thing.
- Black Sabbath — “Sweet Leaf”
A heavy-hitting love letter to cannabis itself, Sabbath lays down the blueprint for stoner metal with thick riffs and coughing fits straight out the gate. It’s as iconic as it is heavy — the sound of a new era blowing in like smoke from the underworld. - Toadies — “I Burn”
Dark, hypnotic, and intense — this slow burner creeps under your skin like smoke curling from a lit joint on a humid night. With its brooding build and fevered release, it mirrors the strange magic of a high that hits sideways. - 311 — “Who’s Got the Herb?”
A cover of the H.R (Bad Brains) solo cut, this jam is laid-back, funky, and island-tinged, it’s a groove that feels like sunshine on your face and a spliff in hand. An easy anthem for the herb-curious and the seasoned alike, as it turns any space into a chill zone. - Bob Marley and the Wailers — “Kaya”
Smooth and soulful, Marley celebrates the calming spirit of cannabis with his signature warmth and melodic ease. The track drifts like a warm breeze, offering peace in every phrase and puff. - Peter Tosh — “Legalize It”
A bold, unfiltered anthem for cannabis freedom — Tosh’s voice cuts through the haze with a message still burning strong today. This is protest music you can dance to, and a reminder that the personal is always political when it comes to the plant. - Cypress Hill — “Hits from the Bong”
Psychedelic and mischievous, this stoned-out classic turns your speakers into a smoke session — and your bong into a beat machine. It’s cheeky, funky, and downright intoxicating — engineered to spark laughter and light up the room. - Steppenwolf — “Don’t Step on the Grass, Sam”
A fuzzed-out protest track that defends the green stuff with late-’60s swagger and a middle finger to the establishment. Its lyrics hit with the same force as its riffs — a smoky battle cry for every generation of tokers. - The Association — “Along Comes Mary”
Sneaky and euphoric, this baroque pop gem winks at Mary Jane with layered harmonies and a sly sense of rhythm. It’s catchy enough for the straight world, but the heads always knew what was really going on. - Sublime — “Smoke Two Joints”
Astonishingly chill and deeply quotable — Sublime doubles the dosage for a SoCal singalong that hits like a lazy afternoon. It’s the audio equivalent of sparking up at the beach with nowhere to be and all day to enjoy it. - Muddy Waters — “Champagne & Reefer”
The blues don't get much smoother — Muddy pairs good drink with good smoke and keeps it raw, real, and raspy. It’s a gritty groove that turns indulgence into art, swagger into scripture.
