NEGRIL, Westmoreland — Peter Tosh Legacy & Brand recently announced International Peter Tosh Day for April 20 on which the legacy of the artiste was honoured with a global celebration marking 50 years of Legalize It.

The milestone was recognised through live events, coordinated social media activations, brand collaborations, and exclusive commemorative merchandise.

Released in 1976, Legalize It stood as a powerful declaration of justice, freedom, and truth. Its message continues to resonate as global conversations around cannabis decriminalisation and equity evolve, rooted in a complex history that informs today’s shifting landscape.

Celebration programming featured artistes, creators, and cultural voices reflecting on the enduring relevance of Tosh’s message.

“Fifty years later, “Legalize It” stands as a symbol of… bold resistance,” said Niambe Tosh, Peter’s daughter and managing director of the Peter Tosh Legacy & Brand.

The Peter Tosh Legacy & Brand also hosted an official Peter Tosh Day celebration in Jamaica on April 20 at Woodstock in Negril, located on Seven Mile Beach, bringing the event back to its cultural roots and honouring Tosh’s life, music, and message within the community that shaped him.

Peter Tosh, a founding member of The Wailers, was one of reggae’s most influential voices and a fearless advocate for human rights, equality, and justice.
