A playlist for the high-minded in celebration of 4/20, the bedrock American tradition sprung of urban myth and juvenile delinquency. Personally, weed has broadened my understanding of what it means to "enjoy the moment," taking it beyond intellectual into a more emotional/corporeal knowledge. Our world today is one of constant stimuli and motion, and I couldn't have recognized my own low, omnipresent thrum of anxiety without the new perspective of slowness and delight that weed provides.
I find great joy in smoking and walking through the city or people watching in the park or just sitting and looking out the window. I hope this playlist can be your very own chill city stoner soundtrack™ for whatever activities you enjoy whilst partaking in the devil's lettuce.
**may also be enjoyed without lighting up some jazz cabbage**
