Culinary and Cannabis: Full-Spectrum Education on Medical Cannabis and Wellness

Tamara Anderson's Throwback Feel-Good Weedsday Playlist

For her Weedsday Playlist, Anderson shares a nostalgic collection of throwback favorites perfect for true OGs: “Music is a connection of life experiences — the good, the sad, and everything in between can transport you to a time and place that only you may remember. All of these songs are feel-good memories and yes, I was buzzed during all of them.”

Snoop Dogg - "Who Am I (What's My Name)?"

This song just takes me back to my first experience with the plant, riding down Crenshaw, having to page the weed man for a dime bag and going to underground hip hop parties. Takes me back to being young and free. This was the first time I recall seeing someone of my generation smoke weed on screen or even talk about it.

Method Man and Mary J. Blige - "I'll Be There For You/You're All I Need to Get By (Razor Sharp Remix)"

This song evokes memories and feelings, and it’s just an all around feel-good song. Sit back, relax or just do the two-step. There’s no better combo than Method Man and Mary J. His sexy voice and her powerful singing…it brings me back to a place in my life where adulthood was just beginning.

Fugees - "Killing Me Softly With His Song"

Every generation has an artist or group that represents everything from that era. Well this is the song for me. I used to go to Leimert Park in L.A. and visit a coffee shop called "5th St. Dick's." We stopped in for tea and wrote poetry. It was a time of innocence and finding oneself. Music was a combination of a good beat and meaningful lyrics, quotes that are wrapped in words of love.

Rihanna - "Diamonds"

This song always reminds me of my kids. We used to dance and sing along loud in my living room, all three of us, my son included. It brings me joy, peace and happiness. Loving them is my greatest joy and this just takes me back to a simple happy moment.

Adele - "Oh My God"

As a woman in this industry, I often feel a lack of power. This song reminds me of all the strength I have inside me as a woman, all the strength it has taken me to even start and continue on this journey. This song makes me feel like I am doing the right thing at the right time and right place. It reminds me to demand attention when I walk in a room because I am me.
