BIG NAMES ARE ON-BOARD FOR THE REMAKE OF THE PETER TOSH CLASSIC “LEGALIZE IT!”

By Dave Rodney   Peter Tosh— It was just over 40 years ago, in 1976, that Peter Tosh released his classic hit song Legalize It from the album of the same name. The song was written by Tosh as a response to his ongoing victimization by the Jamaican police, but it was also a political statement pushing for the legalization of marijuana. In ganja’s pre-emancipation era, Legalize It became a unifying anthem that brought like-minded exponents of the herb together from diverse countries and cultures. In recent years, the perception of marijuana has changed radically, with many jurisdictions now making allowances for research as well as for recreational and medicinal use of the herb. This year, to celebrate International Peter Tosh Day on April 20, the Peter Tosh Estate is releasing a 2017 remix of … Read entire article »
