The poster children of the 4/20 movement. Great choice for the holiday. I celebrated accordingly ☺️😎

One of my favorite songs is Cypress Hill/Sonic Youth “I Love You Mary Jane” from the Judgement Night soundtrack.

I have huge sentiment to these mj-infused sounds of Cypress Hill. Songs like these, "I Juswanna Chill" by Large Professor, "Hip 2 Tha Game" by Lord Finesse or Redman's "Smoke Buddah" bring so many teenage, silly memories

A truly brilliant album, Black Sunday soundtracked some seriously messed-up grad school escapades I'd like to think I'm still reeling from ... but that'd be ridiculous. Like some sort of flashback. Nevertheless ... My favourite Cypress Hill track is actually from CH IV, 'High Times': 'The very first time I hit the weed I was young/Coughing up a lung/High strung/Back in '81/Going to school/Hitting the Buddha behind the bleachers/Going to class high/Selling the lye to the teachers'. Genius. Happy 4.20 to you and yours!

My favorite is pretty recent. It's from the Norwegian group Kakkmaddafakka. Pretty fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pq-tjxNJc4

By the time I'd reached my 22nd birthday I had already smoked most of Mexico. Various strains and types of vasculars ... "Thai Stick," etc. But my favorite 420 brand name was a particularly devastating bud called "Montanooshka Thunderfuck." I don't remember much else about it. ;--)

Anyway, the 420 track that first came to mind was The Fraternity of Man's "Don't Bogart That Joint" ... from the Easy Rider soundtrack.

I love this song. I also love the sampled loop of Dusty Springfield's "Son of a Preacher Man." Wu-Tang also used it in "Preacher's Daughter." Such a great 4/20 song, maybe the best one.
