"This Is Not A Marijuana Song" Protoje

Sep 23, 2012

"This Is Not A Marijuana Song" is a reggae song dedicated to California by singer, songwriter and deejay Proteje from Saint Elizabeth, Jamaica.

Protoje's "This Is Not A Marijuana Song" is, in fact, a song about cannabis geared toward residents of California, perceived as ground-zero in the fight for legalized pot.

The well-produced music video (below) for "This Is Not A Marijuana Song" is set on the beach in Venice, California with plenty of ganja smoke amid the reggae groove on the Venice Boardwalk.

Great reggae fusion in a beautiful setting.

Protoje, born Oje Ken Ollivierre, 31, waxes sociopolitical in a new Golden State weed anthem that carries a similar message to the classic reggae song, "Legalize It" by Peter Tosh.

Of all the songs about California or dedicated to the Golden State, "This Is Not A Marijuana Song" by Protoje is one of the most overtly political. Watch the following cool music video.
