First appearing in 1993 in Rio de Janeiro, with politically charged lyrics about marijuana legalization, they started playing concerts in Rio de Janeiro and other capitals, such as Belo Horizonte, São Paulo and Curitiba.
Planet Hemp began attracting mainstream attention due to the violent outbreaks which were common during their concerts. In 1994 Skunk, one of the original band members passed away, interrupting Planet Hemp's career for some time, but after B Negão joined the group they signed a contract with Sony Music, releasing "Usuário" in 1995.
The album turned the band into an icon of the 90s Brazilian rock, with successful hits such as "Mantenha o Respeito", "Legalize Já", "Fazendo a Cabeça" and the controversial "Porcos Fardados" (Pigs in Uniform), a critique of the police brutality.
Because of their commitment and lyrics towards the legalization of marijuana, Planet Hemp has had issues with the Brazilian authorities. This tension has lead to apprehended records, cancelled concerts and prison warrants (in Brazil it is illegal to promote/defend the use of prohibited substances, including but not limited to weed).
The band ended in 2001, due to internal conflicts regarding Marcelo D2 solo career.

The lyrics of Planet Hemp's song Maryjane can be interpreted as a declaration of love for the drug and the lifestyle that comes with it. The opening lines, "Look at me and see my red eyes / I'm muthafuckin' crazy in fulleffect in your ass," suggest that the singer is intoxicated and ready to embrace the chaos and unpredictability that drugs can bring. The repeated refrain of "Mary jane, Mary jane, Mary jane" reinforces this idea and positions the drug as the central focus of the song.
The second verse, which begins with "I sing cool 'cause smokin' grass," suggests a different interpretation. Here, the drug is seen as a creative tool that allows the singer to perform and express themselves in a unique way. The line "I'm the best with the mic and make law in ganjaland" reinforces this idea, positioning the singer as a leader in the drug culture and suggesting that the drug can inspire creativity and community.
Overall, the song Maryjane can be interpreted as both a celebration of marijuana and a commentary on its role in culture and society. The references to violence and law enforcement suggest that the drug is seen as a symbol of rebellion and resistance, while the references to creativity and community suggest that it can also be a positive force.
