Who remembers ‘Because I Got High’? The stoner single peaked over 10 years ago, but has just been reworked by the lord himself, Afroman. This time, it’s not for shits and giggles – he’s campaigning for the legalisation of weed with the power of song.

Teaming up with the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) and marijuana locator service Weedmaps, Afroman has just released ‘Because I Got High (Positive Remix)’. While the original track highlighted a stoner’s epic struggle through life, the 2014 outlines some of the benefits of Mary Jane.

NORML are thrilled with the result, calling the track a “unique cultural collaboration merging art, entertainment and activism into a single campaign that highlights many of the positive benefits of cannabis.”

Have a listen to the track below and hug your bong. By the way, Afroman’s hairdoo is still the best in the game. And his purple pajama ensemble isn’t too shabby either:
