'I Love Marijuana' is the first self-produced album by Jamaican reggae and dub musician Linval Thompson.

His career began around the age of 20 and has been a pioneer within the reggae genre ever since. The album followed the success of the same-titled single but includes additional successful tracks like the funky “Dread Are the Controller” and “Just Another Girl”. For the recordings, Linval is backed up by one of the nation's best bands, The Revolutionaries, which included Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare, and Errol Smith. After the release of I Love Marijuana, Linval moved on to become a prominent record producer and worked with greats like Lee Perry, Bunny Lee, The Wailing Souls, and Eek-A-Mouse amongst many others.
