I wouldn't start you off on Dopesmoker though, unless you're a pothead and really into stoner metal. Their '93 album Sleep's Holy Mountain would probably be the best place to begin.

I`d say
Holy Mountain was probably the best stoner metal album ever recorded.
While I`m here, I`ve gotta go with
Electric Wizard here, this album and the two either side of it
Come My Fanatics... and
Let Us Pray are such great and essential releases of the whole doom and stoner metal genres. I`d say at times the doom and stoner metal genres are pretty interchangeable and are debatable to which band belongs to which. I`ve never really gotten into
Dopesmoker, but as has been suggested, one maybe needs to smoke a joint whilst listening to it.
Sleep 1
Electric Wizard 1
