Jhené Aiko - “Sativa” (feat. Swae Lee)

the song for 2018 stoner girls and their friends who bought crystals <3
-Jake Gale

pretty self-explanatory
-Maisie Wrubel

Floating Points - “Falaise”

Sam Shepherd’s ability to create landscapes through analog electronics is something that deserves to be experienced under the influence. In a way where the only thing you can do is see the sound. Modern classical (with some stuttering synths thrown in for good measure) has never been so beautiful.
-Philip Keith

Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - “High” (feat. Danny Brown)

It's about weed. It's also really fun to listen to while you're high... I mean, "or so I've heard."
-Lily Lazar

Tame Impala - “Let It Happen”

I've never felt more joy than when I 4/20'd by myself--in my room--and thought, "some Tame Impala would be so good right now,"--pure bliss, ecstasy, euphoria.
-Alexandra Taylor

Frank Ocean - “Be Yourself”

Just a reminder.
-Elijah Davis

Smino - “SPINZ”

All of Smino's music is "weed" music. ITS SMINO. But I find this particular track to perfectly describe his laid back stoner persona. -Emmett Favreau

---

Afroman - “Crazy Rap (Colt 45 & 2 Zig Zags)”

When Afroman says “smoke that tumbleweed”, despite first impressions, he isn’t referring to the controlled burning of desert flora. When examining the lyrics closer, one will come across the line, “stop and hit the bong like Cheech and Chong”, revealing his true intentions to partake in the recreational use of marijuana.
-Terry Brannigan

---

Billy Boyo - “One Spliff A Day”

I love the drums on this track and it just has great vibes all around.
-Tess Lepeska-True

---

Tool - “The Pot”

Such a fire bass riff, and the buildups give me chills every time. The breakdown and use of polyrhythms are also killer.
-Raine Rosenblatt

Chat Pile - “grimace_smoking_weed.jpeg”

-Max Levin
