Bush Doctor is an album by reggae musician Peter Tosh . With this album he also became known in Europe. The presence of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards also contributed to the success of the album. This collaboration followed a meeting of the three at the historic One Love Peace Concert in Kingston in April 1978 . However, the album also caused a negative stir: less the songs on this album than the cover. There the name of the album with the leaves of the marijuana plant was printed on the cover or the booklet. Next to it was the "Scratch-'n'-Sniff" sticker from the Rolling Stones . This forced EMI to comment. The record company announced that the marijuana plant on the cover did not refer to the drug that was smoked, but to a plant traditionally used as a medicinal plant in Jamaica . Peter Tosh was later nicknamed "Bush Doctor" or "Bush Docta" because he had extensive knowledge of the marijuana or cannabis plant as a healing agent.
