Upon hearing that early-'90s THC-laced hip-hop quartet Cypress Hill are coming back with their first new album in five years, I took a mad bong rip. How else can a person possibly celebrate such news? I asked my dealer, Little Mike (he's actually quite large), and he started telling me how he saw them live once in '98 on their IV tour, "...and there was this, like, giant inflatable raft man. No...
Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb. OK, that's not actually my name but how many of you remember that legendary 1990's lyric like it was just yesterday?
