Get Your Groove on with these 11 Weed-Friendly Hits!
Welcome to Music Nation 365, where we dive into all things music-related and bring you the latest buzz from the music industry. Today, we’re exploring a topic that has been gaining more acceptance in country music in recent years – weed. Yes, you read that right. Weed, marijuana, pot – call it what you want, but it’s no longer as taboo a subject in country music as it once was.
Just a few years ago, songs like “Sun Daze” by Florida Georgia Line were hitting the airwaves and helping to normalize the conversation around pot smoking. With the legalization of medical and recreational marijuana in many states across the U.S., attitudes towards weed have certainly shifted.
But did country music play a role in this changing perception? Well, if you take a look at some of the most prominent country artists out there, you might find your answer. Willie Nelson, a legendary figure in country music, is known for his love of pot. Toby Keith and other modern artists like Kacey Musgraves, Brothers Osborne, and Ashley Monroe have also incorporated references to marijuana in their music.
Curious to hear some of the songs that celebrate or at least acknowledge marijuana use? Check out our video above for a list of 11 country songs that do just that. And with April 20th just around the corner, known as an unofficial holiday for pot smokers, it’s clear that times are changing.
As laws around marijuana continue to evolve, there may be even more room for artists to explore this subject in their music. So sit back, hit play on our video, and enjoy the tunes that have helped to pave the way for a greener future in country music.
