The Douchbag Above me does not relize Smoke Two Joints if not written by Bob Marley still was released before he died because he performed it. I have the live video downloaded so you can suck my cock (Plus Bob Marley did write Smoke Two Joints Sublime released after he died but they just covered it. You just got schooled by a 13 year old mo fucka)

SkaderPunc211 is so wrong it is not funny. The song Smoke 2 Joints was written by a group called The Toyes in 1983 and firest released on their album in 1996. Unfortunately for your argument is that Bob Marley died in 1981. Sorry dude, but you been smokin 2 joints too long. For proof see here:

If you are saying that it was written in 1983, and Bob couldn't have sang it since he died in 1981, why is this song under 'Bob Marley' on this website?

You all should stop arguing and just listen to the music...No matter who wrote it, Bob Marley did sing it and it wasn't just about smoking a lot of "weed". There is an actual meaning to the song when he sings it, just like every song Bob Marley sings. It's about using the gonja as it was meant to be used, to calm the body and mind regaurdless of where you are and whats happening around you. It's meant to be used in a way that connects you directly to Jah, and brings I and I together. Rastas know this, you should too.

www.wikipedia.en states that "Smoke Two Joints" was NOT by Bob Marley, contrary to popular belief. It was by the Toyes, and covered by Sublime (which is how it gained such high popularity).
Whoever put the song on here was obviously confused and thought Marley did it... but he didn't.
This song really doesn't need interpretation anyway. It's meaning is pretty clear.
(Unless you wanna dig deeper and say it's about the apathy formed by habitual drug use. But most people would say that's reaching too far.)

umm....Bob Marley did do the song. We covered it in a carribbean religion class. You can download it. Maybe it was covered by other artists but Bob did it...and he did it best.

You guys are missing the point of the song. Just smoke a joint guys. Chill out. "hard work good, and hard work fine, but first take care of head".

Smoke two joints is a very old poem, probably a traditional song by that context.
I don't doubt the toyes took full credit for the song cause the poem is like a crack ho, it's been around. I am sure there are plenty of people who have made songs out of it, it is just that brad of sublime a damn good version.

The meaning of the song is clear, it's about smoking weed.
This song was originally released by The Toyes in 1983, but Sublime covered that song in 1992 and other people I know think this is a Sublime song. As far as I know Bob Marley (R.I.P)never did this song, it was The Toyes.

I think this is an awesome song! I think there is an unknown meaning that everyone is missing. It's talking about smoking pot of course, that's obvious enough, but his parents believed in him and wanted him to do good. I feel like when he met this random guy that told him to take care of his "head" was based on "peer pressure". when he tried it and didnt want to quit, he just went with the flow of things. It is a great song, but everyone interprets everything differently, so it's just what you take from it yourself. No right or wrong answers to what the song means regardless of who it's by. It's a song. So yeah...it's all about the music baby!

"Smoke Two Joints" is a song originally released by The Toyes. According to the Toyes, "one fine fall day on a small island" on Oahu in Hawaii, Mawg and Sky were sitting under a large banyan tree on Kuhio Beach, "tokin on some sweet Kona bud & jammin on a rootsy reggae groove" when they conceived the song "Smoke Two Joints."

It's still about smoking pot. I suppose you could also say there's why you should smoke pot, but I don't see much more meaning to this.

This is NOT Bob Marley, i dont know why everyone thinks it is, probably because it is reggae and talks about weed which is what he was famous for. if anyone who even listens to Bob marley would no its not him, he doesnt sing about weed. its the Toyes. As for an interpretation; isnt it obvious what the song is about.

Smoke Two Joints" is a song originally written by Chris Kay and Michael Kay of the band The Toyes, who performed it in traditional Reggae style and released it in 1983. According to the Toyes, "one fine fall day on a small island" of Oahu in Hawaii, two of the band members, Mawg and Sky, were sitting under a large banyan tree on Kuhio Beach, "tokin' on some sweet Kona bud & jammin' on a rootsy reggae groove" when they conceived the song "Smoke Two Joints."
It is however a very good song.

bad ass song, but NOT Bob Marley. like someone said above, Bob's songs aren't about weed. the version that people are getting confused with Bob is actually from a Sublime live show..check out the bootleg Contact Buzz.

Everybody who writes all this metaphorical crap is a complete idiot the song is about a guy (maybe Bob Marley) who smokes to joints in the morning and smokes to joints at night and makes him feel alright.
