I'd made five tracks in 25 years, but after I was prescribed medical cannabis, I made an entire album in six months. So, what’s going on?

This is a stock photograph involving cannabis, marijuana and its implications in America has just slowly been legalized and used for medicinal and medical purposes and what that means to our economy and culture.

The list of music artists who have (and we have to say 'allegedly' for obvious reasons) used cannabis while composing and recording music is even longer than you might think. The Beatles, Bob Marley, Pink Floyd and Aphex Twin are your trump cards, obviously, but the rest of the pack is littered with supposed weed users across a wide variety of genres.

Snoop Dogg, Eno, Louis Armstrong, Bowie, Herbie Hancock and Paul Simon are just some of the names from music history who have (again, allegedly) used cannabis at one time or another, while the 1990s alone gave us Boards of Canada, DJ Shadow, entire genres in trip-hop and chillout, and, oh, me, who thought of himself as a British DJ Shadow while smoking his way through the decade.
