 HIGH
TIMES' music awards are back!. This year's winners are Damian Marley (pictured on
the cover), System of a Down, Sean Paul, String Cheese Incident, Ying
Yang Twins, Bonnaroo and, yes, the Kottonmouth Kings!
Down at the crossroads of music and marijuana, great things are known to happen.
Toke a joint and new lyrics flow effortlessly. Inhale a hit and a song pours out
like syrup onto pancakes.
Bill Hicks nailed it when he said that all the Beatles’ music was created under
the influence of drugs. He joked that they had to pull Ringo off the ceiling
when they wrote “Yellow Submarine.”
For years, we’ve cataloged marijuana music in the pages of HIGH TIMES. Not only
do musicians write better stoned, but readers also enjoy listening better high.
It’s that simple !!
On Sept. 6, 2000, we hosted the Doobies, our first-ever awards show
celebrating marijuana in music. At New York’s now-defunct jam-band joint
Wetlands Preserve, the Kottonmouth Kings were named Band of the Year and
performed on a bill that included Dope, Charlie Hunter, David Peel, Atomic
Bitchwax and the Cannabis Cup Band. A fully inebriated Jackie (the Joke Man)
Martling emceed the five-hour Doobies marathon.
We scheduled the 2nd Annual Doobies for Sept.12, 2001. That show never took
place—we all know what happened on the morning of Sept. 11. We gave out awards
to winners whenever they came through New York City during that devastating fall
and winter.
With Wetlands’ doors shuttered, we moved the 3rd Annual Doobies uptown to our
new awards-show home at BB King’s in Times Square. On Sept. 25, 2002, Fear
Factor’s Joe Rogan hosted a show that saw performances by Sean Paul, High on
Fire, Black Moon, Lettuce, the Cannabis Cup Band and a reunion of the New Riders
of the Purple Sage. One of the highlights that night was Dave Chappelle
presenting Pot Song of the Year to Paul for “Gimme the Light.”
With this issue, the Doobies returns as an awards presentation in the pages of
HIGH TIMES. Next year, we’ll once again stage a full-fledged awards show.

Rock the Bong! Actually that'd be a good idea for a "legalize it" benefit concert. System headlines it, of course!
