I think we can all agree that smoking a bowl (or a j, or doing a bong hit) vastly increases one's aesthetic enjoyment of music. For me, as a non-theist, I would have to say that being pleasantly high and listening to good music is one of my chief sources of what one could call "spiritual fulfillment".

I listen to a lot of different music while high, and I have to say that there are a few types of music that are my favourites to listen to in such a state. Techno and classical, for their complexity, intricate layering, and logical, mathematical stucture. Jazz for the improvisation and melodic and rhythmic intricacy. And jazz takes on a different dimension in an altered state of consciuosness. Sitting in my living room, with Dolby surround turned on and the music flowing through a decent set of Bose speakers, I can hear things like Miles blowing spit out of his horn, Mingus' fingers on the strings of his bass...close my eyes, and I'm there. And even though I am, as I said, a non-theist, I can really only describe something like that as a religious experience.

i can relate to you on this one.

i'm usually at home, alone when i smoke (just the way i prefer it), and i get on my computer, put on my headphones, turn the music up really loud and just space out. it's a wonderful feeling.

There is no better way to listen to music than when you are blazed. Even music that I necessarily dont like when sober sounds good when stoned. And music that I really like sober is extraordinarily amazing when stoned. I just close my eyes and drift into a different realm of thinking (i dont even think that made sense ).

I think its no coincidence that music is invlovled in religious and spiritual rituals. Everything from gospel music to African drum circles. I think that music can help people tap into the energy of life that people will often forget is there. Perhaps life and music operate on the same frequency. I dunno, its just a thought.

I've found that good live music can make me feel higher than weed ever could. But add in some weed to the mix and you can make a perfect show even better.

My favorite thing to do while stoned is listen to music...Ecspecially Floyd...I just totally zone out and just concentrate on the music.it is really awesome being in a dark room with some black lights and candles and stuff too it even enhances the experience more...damn floyd is good enought when im sober but damn when im high it is the best thing in the world to me

Wut's amazing is that I can "groove" to pretty much any kind of music while smoking. And I think I speak for much peeps when I say this. I especially like a little Tribe Called Quest, or other "chillin music."

there is nothing like smoking a bowl and listening to some zappa or floyd. i have never met a person who doesnt greatly increase their appreciation of music when they smoke.

Sgt. Pepper

I was just listening to music before I got here (it was some random band on Conan) and I felt like I could hear bass, or treble, but not both at the same time. It was pretty cool, but it made it impossible to get into an unfamiliar song because I didn't know it enough to put the two together and understand the song. Anybody else experience this?
