"Sweet Leaf" is a song by English heavy metal band Black Sabbath from their third studio album Master of Reality, released in August, 1971.[4] A single of the song was released in the Philippines.[1] It is considered one of the band's best songs.[5] It was later included on their 1976 greatest hits compilation We Sold Our Soul for Rock 'n' Roll.[6]
Classic opener "Sweet Leaf" certainly ranks as a defining stoner metal song, making its drug references far more overt (and adoring) than the preceding album's "Fairies Wear Boots."
