Rasta musicians such as Joe Higgs and Vincent Tata Ford helped them grow up without a father, and they were influenced by them throughout their lives. They had come to London to find themselves or be lost, so they were all country boys. Coxsone Studio One was where the Wailers recorded their first song in the early 1960s. Jamaica has undergone significant changes since Tosh’s death: weed is legal, we smoke sensimilla, goat shit, or the American dream variety, but not the Amnesia Haze variety that Tosh enjoyed. Despite the intense campaigning for Prime Minister Michael Manley’s re-election, the assassination occurred during this election period.

Tosh was murdered by thug friends who had known him for many years at his home, surrounded by friends who had known him for many years. The song became an anthem for the marijuana legalization movement and helped to increase public support for the legalization of marijuana. In 1975, reggae legend Bob Marley released the song “Legalize It.” The song was a call for the legalization of marijuana, which was illegal in many countries at the time.
