Dead Men Don't Smoke Marijuana is the last album by Sierra Leonean highlife and palm wine musician S. E. Rogie, featuring the double bassist, Danny Thompson. It was recorded in 1994 before his death and released in 1997.
In the 2003 book The Cambridge Companion to the Guitar, the album is listed among examples of "African reinvention of the guitar." In Banning Eyre's book Africa: Your Passport to a New World of Music, the album is listed as the sole palm wine album to help readers "expand [their] understanding of African guitar styles."
