The Smokin’ Mix HIGHlights and Product Pairings
In the Perfect Union May Hot Box, we included our Spotify playlist that was curated by yours truly. It has what I think to be the pinnacle of cannabis songs by a wide range of diverse artists and genres.
There are a few tracks in particular that I think go well when paired with particular products, so I thought I’d share some of those HIGHlights with you so that you can follow the playlist and then stop by a dispensary near you and GET ON MY LEVEL.
So without further adieu, let’s go!
Track 1 – Sweet Leaf – Black Sabbath
Pair with: Wedding Cake from Zach & Ted’s
One of the all-time tracks from an all-time band. “Sweet Leaf” opens with that classic riff before Ozzy comes in with his signature pipes. You know you need to rip a classic sweet strain and to be honest, nothing is better for that than “Wedding Cake.”
Track #8 – Because I Got High – Afroman
Pair with: Banana Cookies Live Resin from Raw Garden
Just a ridiculously fun song that I think we can all relate to. I can imagine Afroman taking a huge dab of Banana Cookies, forgetting all of his responsibilities for the day, and then writing this song.
Track #15 – The Joker – Steve Miller Band
Pair with: Northern Lights #5 Vape Cart from Jetty Extracts
This song is old school late 70s rock and roll. Steve Miller famously muses “I’m a midnight toker” in it and I like to think that when you’re rocking this in 2022, there’s no better homage than a vape hit of the classic Northern Lights #5 strain. It just makes sense.
Track #22 – You Don’t Know How it Feels – Tom Petty
Pair with: Shake That Sativa Preroll
When Petty sings, “Let’s get to the point, let’s roll another joint…” it’s only because he didn’t have a preroll. Save yourself some trouble and enjoy a Shake That Sativa or two while you listen.
Track #25 – Sitting in Limbo – Willie Nelson
Pair with: Camino Watermelon Lemonade 5mg Gummies
Willie writes a gorgeous tune about waiting. When I wait, I like to at least enjoy a nice easy high. That’s what you’ll get with the hybrid Watermelon Lemonade Gummies from Camino. At 5mg, it’s just enough to get you to whatever you happen to be waiting for.
Track #29 – Muggles – Louis Armstrong & His Hot Seven
Pair with: LIME Animal Mints Water Hash
One of the old classic jazz odes to cannabis. When you do a deep dive down the jazz rabbit hole, you need something strong and smooth. Hash just gets me to that place. Listen to “Muggles” on a good hash, and then dip into some of Louis Armstrong’s catalog of amazing music. Thank me later.
