Today in 1971, Black Sabbath started recording what would be their third album, 'Master of Reality' at Island Studios in London, England. This song is about marijuana and makes little attempt to disguise it. The band smoked a lot of it and did many other drugs around this time. This was the song that coined the phrase "sweet leaf" as slang for marijuana. They got the name from a pack of Irish Cigarettes that said "It's the sweet leaf." They thought "sweet leaf" was a great description of marijuana, and the entire band wrote the song together. The sound at the beginning is guitarist Tony Iommi coughing after inhaling marijuana smoke from a bong. ✌😎
