"It's no secret that a large part of the population of Puerto Rico uses cannabis. It blends well with our climate and, adding the influence of American hip-hop and Jamaican reggae, smoking marijuana has become part of our culture. The important thing is it's becoming less of a taboo and is helping our country medicinally."
This statement was provided to CelebStoner by the Puerto Rican band Los Rivera Destino. They just released the high tune, "Mis Amigos," which celebrates their love of cannabis. Watch the stony video above.
"It's no secret that a large part of the population of Puerto Rico uses cannabis. Smoking marijuana has become part of our culture."
"The song is inspired by friends that may not always have the same interests, but will always be there for each other," band members Antonio Sánchez, Carlos Figueroa and Fernando Tarrazo explain. "We all have friends who smoke weed and friends who don't. It shows how our differences can bring us together."
Los Rivera Destino began as a comedy team eight years ago and evolved into a band. They had their breakthrough in 2019 with "Flor," which featured Puerto Rican hitmaker Bad Bunny. "Mis Amigos" will appear on their upcoming album produced by Calle 13's Ismael Cancel.
"Mis Amigos" Lyrics (Translated)
My friends smoke pot
A lot of grass they smoke
They get flushed, they get high
With a blunt or with a pen
They’re always happy
My friends smoke weed
They’re always messed up
They don’t like coke
Everything through the mouth
Never the nose
My father, frightened, tells me
To stay away from them
They are stoners
But they’re my brothers
And I love them the way they are
My friends smoke marijuana
They are always crazy
When they are in Spain
And they don’t find ganja
They smoke hashish
My friends use a bong
They always get it long
They never accept defeat
They always smoke another one
They never want to leave
My girlfriend always asks me
If I’ve been smoking
You see, they greeted me
And I shook hands
And their smell rubbed off on me
Their smell rubbed off on me
La la la la la la
My girlfriend always asks me
If I’ve been smoking
My friends smoke grass
But they always do it around me
Around me, around me, around me
Light up and pass the Phillie, yeah
