Oh the clever pun, especially as this band and their single album are more rock mainstream than psychedelic, and only one song on the album refers explicitly to marijuana - I Can't Roll. It is bathed mainly in West Coast harmony, with the occasional echo of The Hollies, and perhaps The Byrds. It is also largely organ/keyboards driven. So the cover and title are a collective smokescreen and what plays within is quite tame, if inoffensively so. There are some strong bass lines, but other efforts are wearing L plates. I'm still searching for that strong if lesser known C and this isn't filling the Cup.
