STONER SONGS: "REEFER MAN" (1932)

Cab Calloway recorded this tongue-in-cheek tribute to marijuana dealers five years before "the devils lettuce" was made illegal - a time when most Americans still hadn't even heard of marijuana.

"Have you ever met this funny reefer man? / If he trades you dimes for nickels and calls watermelons pickles, then you know you're talkin' to that reefer man."

Thank you High Times.
