Weed. Pot. Mary Jane. Dro. Ganja. Whatever you call it, and however you enjoy it, it's time to think about the most weed-inspired songs in celebration of 4/20!

More than ever before, marijuana consumption is becoming normalized in today's society. It's no longer the taboo gateway drug that our parents (and Daren the Lion) warned us about back in the day. Now, celebrity potheads and scientists alike recognize that marijuana can help us more than it hurts us. It can be used for both medical and leisure purposes — who would've thought?

Whether you're participating in the culture, or just love a slow jam, this one is for you. Ahead, 20 songs to have in rotation on 4/20, and beyond.

Listen to this entire playlist on Spotify.

Refinery29 in no way encourages illegal activity and would like to remind its readers that marijuana usage continues to be an offense under Federal Law, regardless of state marijuana laws.
