Cypress Hill and the hemp

 

Cypress Hill & Marijuana
These two subjects came together through a long and intensive relationship:

Many songs like Insane In The Brain, I Wanna Get High, High Times, Hits From The Bong and Can I Get A Hit are dedicated to their hobby: Marijuana
Cypress Hill became members and spokesmen for the NORML (National Organisation to Reform Marijuana Laws). B-Real is writing articles for the “High Times – Magazine” to represent his view about Cannabis. Their track Dr. Greenthumb even calls on home-grown: "People can't live with out the herb man if not they'd be drinking and driving and swerving. But thanks to Dr. Greenthumb we grow in the back yard or inside with hydro." No other band celebrates consumption of marijuana as extremely as Cypress Hill. They constantly light up a joint during their live performances and B-Real tells the crowd to do the same: "Do you want to get high?…so fucking high!" They collaborated with the famous rock group Sonic Youth and produced tracks such as I love you Mary Jane which expresses their passion for this popular illegal luxury: "You got a friend named Mary Jane and she make me feel strange. Now I've got to call out her name. Can I call Marijuanna if you wanna party?"
Further information: Mary Jane is the female cannabis plant. Male plants have almost no active tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is necessary for its intoxicating sensation.

How to roll a blunt:
By B-Real

Muggs taught us how to get blunted. It's an East Coast thing- one of his Friends introduced him to it. All you need to roll a blunt is a Phillies Blunt cigar and a decent quality of the Buddha (about an eighth of an oz).

1. 1. Bite off the tip of the blunt.
2. 2. Make a good slice down the middle of the blunt [length wise]. Either do it by hand or with a razor blade.
3. 3. Peel the outside layer of tobacco off the blunt. If you leave the outside layer on, it tendes to have a nasty taste. The single layer doesn't override the nice Buddha flavor. Lick the ends of the blunt paper. Wave it in the air, so it'll dry.
4. 4. Break up the buddha. Word up. Throw away the tobacco. We don't put that in there, we're not in Europe.
5. 5. Roll it up dude! One blunt is equivalent to about five joints. If you've got a good sized blunt and you've got good weed, definitley five joints or more. The size is varible. You can roll it like a cigar blunt or like a cigarillo. It depends on how much buddha you have handy.
6. 6. Smoke it up, dude! A blunt gets you a little higher because of the tobacco paper. It also burns slower and goes around more times. Word up. That's the only reason I'm with it.
