Cannabis Playlist: #1 – Bob Marley, “Ganja Gun”
In the week of 4/20, CannaReporter launches a new section dedicated to music that, over time, will become a playlist. These are songs that pay tribute to cannabis, that talk about its virtues, the experiences lived under its effects or that were made thanks to great creative girls. And it won't just be Bob Marley! From blues to contemporary electronic bands devoted to the plant, hip hop, North American folk or world music, there will be everything to listen to here.
Let's roll!!
