Best Songs About Weed: 4/20 Marijuana Themed Tracks

Weed and music go together like peanut butter and jelly. From hazy hip-hop beats to trippy rock solos, artists have been celebrating marijuana for decades. Some tracks are straight-up anthems, while others just capture that laid-back feeling perfectly. If you’re looking for the best songs about weed to blast on 4/20 (or any day), here’s a list that covers all the bases.

1. “Because I Got High” – Afroman

This song is basically the ultimate stoner anthem. Afroman’s storytelling is hilarious, detailing all the things he was supposed to do but didn’t—because he got high. It’s catchy, it’s relatable, and it’s been a staple at smoke sessions since the early 2000s.

2. “Smoke Two Joints” – Sublime

Originally by The Toyes, Sublime’s version is the one that really took off. It’s all about smoking two joints in the morning, at night, and pretty much all the time. The reggae-punk fusion makes it an easy choice for lighting up and zoning out.

3. “Kaya” – Bob Marley & The Wailers

Bob Marley and weed? A perfect match. “Kaya” is a smooth, feel-good track that embodies everything about a relaxed smoking session. With lyrics about feeling high and happy, this is the perfect addition to any cannabis playlist.

4. “Hits from the Bong” – Cypress Hill

Cypress Hill knew what they were doing with this one. The smooth beat, mixed with the sound of a bubbling bong, makes it the ultimate smoke session track. This one’s for those who love their greenery and want a track that captures that vibe perfectly.

5. “Roll It Up, Light It Up, Smoke It Up” – Cypress Hill

Another Cypress Hill classic, this one is all about lighting up and enjoying the moment. The beat is hypnotic, and the lyrics make it clear—this is music for smokers, by smokers.

6. “Young, Wild & Free” – Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa (feat. Bruno Mars)

Snoop and Wiz are basically modern-day weed icons, so it makes sense they dropped an anthem. The chorus says it all: “So what, we get drunk, so what, we smoke weed.” It’s all about living life stress-free and enjoying the moment.

7. “Mary Jane” – Rick James

This one is a little more old-school, but Rick James made a whole love song about marijuana. The funky beat and smooth vocals make it one of the best songs to play while rolling up.

8. “I Got 5 on It” – Luniz

A classic that isn’t just about weed—it’s about pitching in for it. If you’ve ever had to split the cost of a bag, this song hits home. The beat is iconic, and it’s been sampled in so many tracks since its release.

9. “Smoke Break” – Chance the Rapper (feat. Future)

Chance and Future link up for this laid-back anthem about taking a break to enjoy some greenery. And speaking of breaks, if you’ve been hitting cannabis a little too hard, maybe it’s time for a different kind of smoke break—a tolerance break. Cutting back for a few days can reset your system, so when you light up again, it actually hits. Think of it as giving your stash (and your brain) a little refresh before your next session.

10. “Legalize It” – Peter Tosh

Peter Tosh didn’t just make a song about weed—he made a statement. “Legalize It” is a reggae classic that advocates for cannabis legalization while keeping things smooth and easygoing.

11. “Blueberry Yum Yum” – Ludacris

Ludacris brought his signature energy to this weed anthem, paying tribute to Blueberry Yum Yum, a well-known cannabis strain. The beat is laid-back, the lyrics are catchy, and it’s perfect for lighting up.

12. “Sativa” – Jhene Aiko (feat. Swae Lee)

A more recent addition to the weed song lineup, “Sativa” is exactly what the name suggests—a song that feels like a sativa high. It’s dreamy, mellow, and easy to get lost in.

13. “Pass the Kouchie” – Mighty Diamonds

Reggae has deep roots in cannabis culture, and “Pass the Kouchie” is another perfect example. This song was later remade as “Pass the Dutchie” by Musical Youth, but the original is a pure stoner classic.

14. “Ganja Farmer” – Marlon Asher

A Caribbean weed anthem that’s all about, well, growing ganja. Marlon Asher’s smooth vocals and reggae beat make this track a must-play for any cannabis fan.

15. “The Next Episode” – Dr. Dre (feat. Snoop Dogg)

The “smoke weed every day” outro from Nate Dogg has made this track a permanent fixture in stoner culture. It’s a West Coast classic with a beat that still hits just right.

16. “Weed Song” – Bone Thugs-N-Harmony

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony bring their signature harmonies to this laid-back track all about enjoying marijuana. It’s slow, smooth, and the perfect background music for a relaxing session.

17. “Let’s Go Get Stoned” – Ray Charles

This might not be a typical stoner track, but Ray Charles knew what he was singing about. The bluesy feel makes it an unexpected but solid addition to a 4/20 playlist.

18. “Still Blazin” – Wiz Khalifa

Wiz Khalifa has an entire catalog of weed anthems, but “Still Blazin” is one of his best. It’s a love letter to cannabis, with a reggae-inspired beat that makes it even better.

19. “How High” – Method Man & Redman

Method Man and Redman made an entire career off their love for weed, and “How High” is their signature track. It’s got that classic ‘90s hip-hop energy, making it a must-listen for anyone who loves both cannabis and rap.

20. “Medicated” – Wiz Khalifa

Another Wiz track, because let’s be honest—he’s one of the most famous stoners out there. “Medicated” is a mellow, introspective track that’s perfect for a reflective smoke session.

21. “Gimme the Loot” – The Notorious B.I.G.

Biggie wasn’t just about the hustle—he had his fair share of smoke sessions too. This track may be about getting paid, but let’s be real, a good chunk of that cash probably went straight to rolling up.

22. “Stoner” – Young Thug

Young Thug made it clear—this one’s for the stoners. The hypnotic beat and spaced-out flow make it a perfect track for zoning out with a blunt in hand.

23. “James Joint” – Rihanna

Rihanna gave us a short but sweet weed anthem with “James Joint.” It’s mellow, dreamy, and basically sounds like floating in a cloud of smoke.

24. “Stay High” – Three 6 Mafia

The title says it all. Three 6 Mafia crafted the ultimate ode to getting lifted, and the hypnotic beat makes it the perfect track for sinking into your couch with a joint.

25. “Bag of Weed” – Family Guy (Brian & Stewie)

Okay, this one’s a bit of a wild card, but if you haven’t heard Stewie and Brian singing about how “everything is better with a bag of weed,” you’re missing out. It’s goofy, catchy, and absolutely belongs on a 4/20 playlist.
