21 Dope AF Songs That Mention Weed

Here Are The Best Songs About Cannabis

There’s a magical connection between music and weed. And that connection goes both ways. Getting high makes tunes sound so much better. It also works if you’re the one making music. Since cannabis helps you be more creative, getting high while writing songs can help take your craft to the next level.

A lot of musicians bring all this together by writing songs specifically about weed. These tunes celebrate all things cannabis, and they’re also awesome to listen to while getting high. Check out these 21 dope songs that all mention weed.

21. “The Next Episode” – Dr. Dre featuring Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, and Nate Dogg

This one’s a little bit of an oldie, coming off Dre’s 1999 album “Dr. Dre 2001.” But we had to include it on this list of songs about weed. The song ends with the ultimate slogan for every cannabis fan: “Smoke weed every day.”

20. “High By The Beach” – Lana Del Rey

Here’s what Lana Del Rey has to say about falling in and out of love: “All I wanted to do was get high by the beach. Get high, baby, baby, bye bye.” Good advice, especially if you just got out of a messy break-up.

19. “Dooo It!” – Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus has established herself as one of pop music’s reigning cannabis queens. Most recently, she threw a weed-themed birthday party for her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth. In “Dooo It!” she sings about her love for the green: “Yeah I smoke pot, yeah I love peace” she sings in the opening lines.

18. “James Joint” – Rihanna

Last year, Rihanna released her eighth studio album “Anti.” She used one of the tracks, “James Joint” to express how much she loves weed. As the song opens, she sings “I’d rather be smoking weed whenever we breathe, every time you kiss me, don’t say that you miss me, just come get me.” Anyone who loves cannabis as much as Rihanna knows the feeling of wanting to get high more than pretty much anything else.

17. “Addicted” – Amy Winehouse

In this song, Amy Winehouse sings about a problem we’ve probably all experienced. Those people who are happy to puff your herb, but are less keen to smoke you up in return. “Tell your boyfriend next time he around to buy his own weed and don’t wear my shit down.”

16. “Gwyneth Paltrow” – Kool A.D. featuring Himanshu

Kool A.D. teams up with Himanshu, better known as Heems, to bring you a song that really is all about weed. Most of the lyrics are literally just the artists listing off the names of different strains. If you’re ever stuck looking for a new strain to try listen to this song.

15. “The Recipe” – Kendrick Lamar featuring Dr. Dre

We had to follow Kool A.D.’s song with “The Recipe” by Kendrick Lamar and Dr. Dre. That’s because both songs use the same beat, produced by Scoop Deville. On this one, Kendrick and Dre pay homage to California’s weed scene.

14. “Green Line” – Princess Nokia

Indie rapper Princess Nokia has been taking the world by storm recently. And in “Green Line” she confidently raps about the joys of exploring NYC in the company of good weed. “For $2.50 I could go anywhere I want, even if they check my bags, I’m hiding weed from the cops, I was on the 6, green line chick.”

13. “Young, Wild & Free” – Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, and Bruno Mars
