The Toyes wrote "Smoke Two Joints" and cut it as traditional reggae in 1983, and the band's own origin story is as laid-back as the title: on a fall day on Oahu, members Mawg and Sky were lounging under a big banyan tree on Kuhio Beach, getting high and jamming, when the song came to them.
The Toyes' recording later turned up in the 2005 video game NARC. It is also often passed around online as a Bob Marley song, which it isn't: Marley had been dead two years by the time it was written.
