Oh come on, I have at least 70 unique (meaning, not listed here already) songs with the words "ganja" or "herb" or "marijuana" or "collie" (etc) on iTunes - just within the genre of reggae. And loads more elsewhere. I'm guessing I have more than 500 songs which were refer to marijuana more overtly than most of the songs already provided. Must I list them all?

crustaceanrebel, Wednesday, 9 February 2011 03:57 (fourteen years ago)
