Wg: I smoke a lot , and I'm pretty sure Foe smokes more than me -- if that's even possible. I'd be lying if I didn't say I thought about taking a little break after the record was done, as I sit here and hit a bowl [laughs].
F: If anything, it helped me to gauge why it was I was using at particular moment in my life -- whether it was stress, a bad day at work, relaxing, dealing with problems, or just a way to get away from the normal hectic life. No, my habit is still the same: I smoke like a chimney. Ww: Dispensary Music covers so many themes based in herb consumption, from drug laws to the love affair with the green. When did weed become so versatile? Foe: It's always been versatile, it just took us to show you how versatile it really was.
Wg: The same can be done with any subject, if you're willing to think a little bit and be creative enough. The album is versatile and remains on subject because two dope writers -- and friends -- wrote it. Ww: From herb to reefer to pot and weed, marijuana is known by many names.
What is your favorite way to address the ganja? Wg: Bud, free bud is even better. I don't know. It depends on who you're taking to. Wg: I [have] been smoking damn near every day since I was like fifteen or sixteen.
I'm sure it changed for some other folks, though. F: Now people think they can't smoke swag -- that may be the biggest change in the culture. Now we have people who would never, any other day, purchase high-quality reefer, smoking it every day, because the prices have dropped so dramatically Ww: In many cities, the police will throw you in jail for holding marijuana.
What do you say to opponents of the movement to legalize marijuana? F: I say: Let's just look at the history of reefer and how it has helped with the usage of hemp products such as paper, shoes, clothes and so on. And recently, the taxes that have been added to it have helped with the state debt and have given money to help rebuild the community.
Wg: I know you like getting that "under that table gwop," but legalize it. You'll still have your alcohol, tobacco and firearm money coming to you.
As they were putting together Dispensary Music , which is being released tomorrow on iTunes, Whygee and Foe recorded over thirty tracks; they were tasked with narrowing those down to fifteen, which made the final cut, including "Raw Gurd,"which features Brik A Brak. The joints that didn't make the album are slated to be released at a later date as The Doobie Tracks , a compilation of sorts of smoke-downs designed to get you high.
Whygee and Foe have kept a tight wrap on which cuts they selected, opting to keep everyone in suspense until now. See the final tracklist below. Bostic Nick - Produced by Big J Beats Join the Westword community and help support independent local journalism in Denver.
