STONER SONGS: "LEGALIZE IT" (1976)

Once a member of the Wailers alongside Bob Marley, Peter Tosh embarked on a highly political solo career after leaving the band, including this anthemic call to change the marijuana laws:"Legalize it / Don't criticize it / Legalize it, and I will advertise it." Never afraid to voice his opposition to hypocritical governments, both in Jamaica and around the world, Tosh once smoked a spliff on stage during a concert attended by the Prime Minister of Jamaica while demanding the legalization of cannabis.

Thank you High Times.
