Why Does Music Taste Better When High?
While you may be eager to learn which strains are best to consume before listening to music, you may also be curious as to why smoking marijuana improves music. For starters, if you consume a lot of cannabis, particularly high strains, you may experience synaesthesia, which is the ability to perceive sounds as colors.
The more widely accepted explanation for why music sounds better while high is that cannabis alters your perception of time. You may have noticed that your movements and speech appear disjointed or delayed; this is due to your slower sense of time. Music sounds better because you can hear every note and focus on the various instruments being played, making it easier to enjoy.
The Best Techniques for Music Consumption
The way you consume music should also be taken into account in order to enhance your listening experience. Different methods of intake allow you to consume different dosages of cannabis and have varied effects with variable durations and onset periods.
Given that the effects last for about two hours and the onset time is around ten minutes, smoking a joint would likely be the best choice if you only have an hour or two to listen to music.
Is it Indica or Sativa?
Lastly, you should think about whether you want to use Indica or Sativa. Usually, these strains have distinct impacts. For instance, it’s commonly known that indica has a more soothing impact and sativa has a more joyful, uplifting effect.
This means that indica is a good pick if you expect to unwind while listening to jazz or meditative music. However, you should think about taking sativa to get in the mood if you’re attending a rock concert or a club.
Chemdawg
The origin of the hybrid strain Chemdawg is unknown. What is known, though, is that it has a relaxing impact while also boosting creativity and invention. Chemdawg is a good alternative if you want to chill and enjoy your favorite songs from the evening without entirely losing yourself.
Chocolope
A very potent strain that is a blend of Chocolate Thai and Cannalope Haze, called Chocolope and is best used for situations where you need to get into a party mood. The reason for this is that it includes 5% indica and 95% sativa. Start out gently because you might not need much of it.
Green Crack
Green Crack is the appropriate strain for you if you want to be innovative and actually enjoy every kick in the drum and bass track you’re listening to. This strain is robust and totally sativa. Green Crack will help you be creative if you have to write an essay to the sound of a snare.
Blue Dream
This blend of haze and blueberry is a good alternative if you need to clear your thoughts while still feeling pretty relaxed. Keep in mind that this is a Sativa dominant hybrid, so you will feel more energized than relaxed, but it won’t have you buzzing like other strains on our list.
Sunny D
Finally, if you’re looking for a bright spot on a cloudy day, Sunny D is the strain for you. This strain will make you appreciate every note in your favorite music while also inspiring you to remix Beethoven’s sounds.
