Method Man Smoking

The overriding sentiment on the West Coast – Cali weed is crazy.

One should only smoke the shit if planning a mind-clearing, flatline of a day.

A couple of days ago my friend said we were going to the weed spot and I thought it would be some dude’s clam-baked apartment full of dirty furniture and hydroponics. Not so much.

This state-approved pharmaceutical shop was cleaner than a dentist’s office. A cooler full of brownies to the right and, to the left, a jar full of coffee beans to clear the pallet. In the middle of the place, all of the product was on top of a glass counter and divided into two sections – the wake-up buds and the lay-down buds.

All you need is a doctor-prescribed Weed Card, and this too can be yours.

I love California.

But, alas, I don’t smoke. Anymore.

That being said, here are the joints that make me wish I did…

Pharcyde – Splattitorium

So chill I can just see myself eating a whole bag of Chili Cheese Fritos right now. Cotton-mouth to the tenth degree.

Crucial Conflict – Hay

Highly underplayed. But if your only hit was a blatant weed anthem and your only hope for success was a terrible R. Kelley collab, you would suffer the relative obscurity Crucial Conflict did. Nonetheless, I feel high just listening to it.

ODB – Shimmy Shimmy Ya

Everyone needs a song that makes them want to get ignorant, and I’d say this one would suffice. Who among us hasn’t tried to rap along at the top of the second verse? (don’t lie…)

I didn’t buy any medication that day at the pharmacy. I just sniffed. But I often ask myself, “Self, why are you wasting time not smoking in California?” And though I’d like to have some insightful answer for you, I still don’t know what that would be.

For one, I need to get stuff done. For two, I need my money.

Cali weed is crazy. I’ll stick with my glory blaze anthems.
