Marijuana and It’s Influence in Music
Marijuana has been deeply ingrained in the music industry for at least a century, and it doesn’t discriminate based on genre; we see its presence in folk, reggae, rap, hip hop, psychedelic rock, and even jazz. Why exactly does marijuana have such a strong influence in music?
Music listeners will tell you that marijuana makes their favorite songs sound better. The folks who create the music imbibe in their favorite strain to enhance their creative thinking. The euphoric feelings associated with being high is a big contributing factor. The psychoactive effects caused by THC don’t change music, but rather change how our brains perceive music—and other sounds for that matter. When we’re completely relaxed, our mind and body are free from tension and stress, our brains are able to fully process and enjoy music in the moment without interference from external concerns and distractions. For many people, listening to music is an escape from reality. Smoking weed provides this same feeling, so combining the two is, was, and always will be a no-brainer!
From the perspective of the musical creator, marijuana is often an integral component of the creative development process. Energetic strains, like sativas, can clear away brain fog and boost overall brain activity through increased blood flow. The cycle is only further reinforced when listeners see their favorite artists indulging in the herb on stage and in music videos.
At Mile High Dispensary, we like to keep this cycle going. There’s a reason Denver’s music scene is always booming. As the Mile High City’s leading craft cannabis dispensary, we continue to support music lovers and creators with the highest quality weed in Northern Colorado. We’ve done it since 2009.
