High Notes Vol. 2 is another carefully curated selection of songs that celebrate cannabis culture, blending reggae, rock, and blues. Ben Harper’s “Burn One Down,” a soothing anthem for cannabis enthusiasts, sets a relaxed tone. Following is Bob Marley & The Wailers’ “Easy Skanking,” a quintessential reggae track that epitomizes Marley’s advocacy for the herb. The Mighty Diamonds’ “Pass The Kutchie” and Eek-A-Mouse’s “Ganja Smuggling” further enhance the reggae vibe, touching on themes of communal smoking and the ganja trade.
Vol. 2 also features Sublime’s “Let’s Go Get Stoned,” merging reggae influences with alternative rock, and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ “Mary Jane’s Last Dance,” a rock classic with a clever nod to cannabis. Damian Marley and Stephen Marley’s “Medication” gives a modern reggae perspective on the medicinal and recreational aspects of cannabis use today. North Mississippi Allstars’ “Up and Rolling” comes with a bluesy feel, while the Grateful Dead’s “Fire on the Mountain” and Curtis Mayfield’s “Pusherman” add a little psychedelic rock and soul.
