According to The Toyes, "one fine fall day on a small island" of Oahu in Hawaii, two of the band members, Mawg and Sky, were sitting under a large banyan tree on Kuhio Beach,[1] "tokin' on some sweet bud & jammin' on a rootsy reggae funky town" when they conceived the song "Smoke Two Joints."
One was a studio LP, and another was a version featured on his live CD from 1994, both produced by Circumstantial Records, based in New York City.
This cover includes samples taken from the film Beyond the Valley of the Dolls[3] (though this intro is typically removed when the song is played on the radio), of a bong being used, and of the artists Eazy-E and Just Ice.
Bert Susanka, the lead singer of The Ziggens (a major influence on Sublime), is also sampled saying, "Smoked cigarettes 'til the day she died!"
The track is also used in the film Mallrats when the contestants for a game show are passed out on the floor after being given marijuana by Jay and Silent Bob.
