Best Music to Listen to When You’re High

You can choose the right music for every occasion. The first wedding dance, the beginning of the New Year, when reading a new book, when taking someone on a first date… When you think of a special event, you start humming an adequate soundtrack. What are your thoughts on weed smoking music?

Marijuana is too special for you to listen to random songs on MTV. How about preparing a track list that will make this experience even better?

Perfect Genres of Music to Get High To

1.     Blues

When you’re distracted, blues music seems just sad. But when you get into it, you feel how the pain is mixed with something light, and you inevitably come to the conclusion that life is absolutely amazing.

The sensible, logical structure of blues will relax you, so it’s perfect for a night spent with a good Indica.

2.     Reggae

You either love it or you don’t understand it. Reggae is the perfect music to listen to when high. It tackles important issues: peace, equality, freedom, love, kindness and a united humanity. That alone is enough to describe an important part of weed culture.

3.     Indie Pop

Indie pop is perfect for a fun night with a Sativa-dominant strain. You don't want to fall asleep; you plan to socialize and have a good time. A wise selection of indie pop smoking music will keep you going!

4.     Classic Rock

Sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll! Say no more! Before techno took charge of the scene, classic rock ruled the clubs. Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd will sure elevate the effects of your Sativa.

5.     Trip Hop

It’s an impressive mix between hip hop, electronica, jazz, and a few other genres. The result is a smooth, sophisticated vibe that makes you think about the deeper meaning of life.

5.     High by the Beach – Lana Del Rey

Lana Del Rey may not be your first choice for music when getting high. Her vibe is too sad, deep, and almost depressing. But this song is different. It’s relaxing and it’s about getting high by the beach. Isn’t that just perfect?

6.     The Greatest – Sia

Sia’s music is absolutely perfect when you want to get out of a depressive or anxious state of being. She has a positive vibe that rarely works in high-quality music. The Greatest is awesome for a night with your friends, sharing a good Sativa joint.

8.     Comfortably Numb – Pink Floyd

Is there a better term than “comfortably numb” to describe the pain relief you get after smoking Indica? This song is sad and a tad too emotional. But it’s also calming in a deep, sensual way. 

9.     Midnight in a Perfect World – DJ Shadow

You don’t care too much about the lyrics? You’re okay with repetitive words and dominating rhythm that sets the mood for the night? This is the track for you! 

10.  Teardrop – Massive Attack

You want to “class up” the act of smoking weed? Listen to Massive Attack! It’s a psychedelic song about love, honesty, and falling apart.
