    Official Lyrics:
    I was out in Daddy’s wood shop, ‘bout seventeen years old
    Stacking up some lumber, sweeping saw dust off the floor
    Way over in the corner, I smelled something kinda strange
    I looked behind a can of paint and found a bag of Mary Jane
    (I thought “What the hell is this?”)
    It threw me for a loop, had me feeling all mixed up
    ‘Cause Daddy always told me only hippies smoked that stuff
    I knew damn good and well he wasn’t leaning to the left
    He’d rather die and go to hell than listen to the Grateful Dead
    The day I found my daddy’s weed
    I knew the truth and it set me free
    That’s when I learned this apple didn’t fall far from the tree
    I did a lot of growing up the day I found my daddy’s weed
    Now, Mom was getting groceries and Dad was outta town
    So I sat there on the workbench contemplating what I’d found
    Went from feeling kinda pissed to thinking “What the hell”
    I got my bowl out of the truck and broke off a little for myself
    (Damn right)
    That shit was awful sticky, had crystals on the leaves
    Smelled kinda like a skunk and kinda like a Christmas tree
    Might’ve come from California or maybe Colorado
    But It was on different level than what I was getting down the road
    The day I found my daddy’s weed
    One of my favorite memories
    That’s when I learned this apple didn’t fall far from the tree
    I did a lot of growing up the day I found my daddy’s weed
    I only hit it once and damn it hit me hard
    Flew straight to the moon and back, sitting in the yard
    Suddenly I understood why Daddy loved to work so much
    When we heard him out there coughing it wasn’t from the dust
    The day I found my daddy’s weed
    Oh it still gets to me
    The little blonde haired boy who use to bounce upon his knee
    Became the man out in the backyard stoned on daddy’s weed

      @fryedchiken48 blud ? Lol, I'm assuming you meant "bud", and hippies listen to UA-cam too you know. I know this because while I run a farm and grow my own plants and garden, I quite enjoy having UA-cam playing in the background while I tend to my plants. Music and hippies kind of go hand in hand in my humble experience

    I can recall many times i found my dad weed 😂. Eventually i just got honest with him, he got the biggest grin ive ever seen him make haha. From that moment on we were a father son smoking duo. Eventually my other brother got the taste for it and we all 3 smoked with him almost daily until his sudden unexpected passing last july of 2022, i love you dad, you were and always will be my best friend. R.I.P. Dad, now your smoking top shelf, just save me some this time... Life has been so hard without you. Im trying to keep the family together and take care of everyone like i promised you i would. There has been so much happen this past year, i wish you would have been here to see it all. Ive asked myself soany times why you had to go the way you were taken from us. I cant forgive it, ive tried so hard. You didnt deserve it, we dont deserve it. Mom fights hard every single day and you were taken from not just me and my brothers but her too. Im trying to find it in my heart to forgive but im always reminded of your last moments and... It just hurts, more than any words i write can say and ive said alot, i love you dad..... Hey to all of you stoners out there with fathers that smoke. Smoke one with him, laugh eith him, overlook any issues or clashing moments between you both. Sit there with him as his son and just enjoy what you have. God knows i would give anything to have him beside me now. Sorry about the long comment everyone, i get emotional and i wrote all this through tears... Just love and cherish your dad

      Yeah it really is a task to grow. Trial and error with all that jazz.
      I'll tell ya in my early days learning I started growing Skunk #1 in the backyard using that old slowly staple em to the ground method. I cut all the limbs off the trees surrounding them so they'd get 8 hours of sunlight. Made sure of that by camping out by them for two weeks.
      Well one morning, an Apache helicopter buzzed my roof. Peeked out the window and saw that thing spray my plants with something.
      I ran outside and pulled those girls out of the ground and ran them back in the house.
      Trying to act natural, I walked to the mailbox and found a yellow card on my mailbox saying the Sherriffs Office was watching my property.
      So yeah after that I stopped growing too. Could have lost the house!
      They want me to start growing again too. But I need some serious seed base not on my own property where they're legally tagged by authorities and observed for proper health issues.
      It's not as easy as it looks I know.

      All music is good, just matters if it touches the soul. I like some weird music I normally don't listen to. I don't write off any type of music until I hear it. Hell I was listening to that new German singer for hours, didn't understand not one single word but man did that music hit my soul. I have German heritage and listening to that German music made the language almost to where I understand what he's saying without knowing the language. I almost wonder if I tried learning German if it would be the easiest language to learn outside of English. I almost felt like a toddler, I kinda understand what their saying but I can't say it. 😂 Weird feeling. Never felt that with any other language?

    I will never forget the first time I got baked. It was the most exciting day of my life. I was doing dishes while my foster parents went to their friend's house to get freshly baked cookies, they were both fried as hell, and I went up to their room to look for dishes. I knew where they hid their bong so I open the window put the fan in there like they did and ripped one. That was straight gas. It was called Cookie Monster and it was fuckin good. So I went back downstairs to do the dishes and as I was doing the dishes they walked in the door about 30 minutes after. I pissed my pants a little but got under control and blamed my red eyes on the soap. After that we both had a sketching contest. After that I don't even know what happened 🤣

    Did anybody else recognize the irony that the length of this video is 4:20? 😂 that’s a clever musician, you know he planned that.

    My dad was a WW II vet, he didn't put up with any bullshit. However, he also hadn't forgotten what it was like to be young and a hellraiser. As long as we largely avoided "the law" he was cool with us smoking weed and never bothered coming upstairs into our rooms (which usually reeked of weed). We found out he has tried it way back (the weed then was generally shitty) and rejected it, but it got better over the years. Anyway, he left us to it since nothing is more fun than doing something illegal. Interestingly, we only had police problems when it involved alcohol, which we easily got hold of while under age 18.
