Cypress Hill have made history by becoming the first Latino hip-hop group to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.
But they also made a statement by dedicating their star to stoners.
The Insane In The Brain group were all about the cannabis aficionados as they gave a speech on the honour on the Walk Of Fame.
Lead rapper B-Real, real name Louis Mario Freese, said: We love the star. It could have been a gold leaf, though, a gold weed leaf. That would have been good too.

This is going to be an altar for all stoners, for all cannabis culture right here. Come light your candles, dump your blunts, dump your joints, dump your bongs right here, pray for a great harvest. Thank you f***ing very much.
Cypress Hills fans cheered the speech, while holding up weed-themed signs, including one which read Stoned is the way to the walk of fame.
B-Real, DJ Muggs (Lawrence Muggerud), Sen Dog (Senen Reyes) and Eric Bobo are big advocates for the medical and recreational use of cannabis in the US – so its only right it got a shout-out.
Elsewhere in their acceptance speech, Sen Dog admitted they were blown away by the star, adding: It was something we never expected.
B-Real said: We used to walk these streets as young men looking at all these stars coming up as we were in the hip-hop culture. Seeing this here, it is an honour.
Xzibit and George Lopez joined the hip-hop stars to pay tribute on the milestone day.
Rapper and Pimp My Ride host Xzibit said of the group: Their accomplishments and accolades reach deep in the roots and history books of hip-hop, and today is another chapter in that saga.
Yo, B-Real, Sen Dog, Muggs, Bobo: You are our Rolling Stones, Ungrateful Dead, you are the West Coast Public Enemy.
