30 Chill songs to listen to when you’re high
Music and marijuana just… go together.
Just ask any musician.
“If you’ve been working on something for a few hours and you smoke a joint, it’s like hearing it again for the first time,” Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsay Buckingham once said.
And there’s a reason for that: THC is shown to enhance the brain’s auditory processing and emotional response to music. This can make the melodies more vivid, the rhythms more engaging, and the overall experience more immersive.
Our picks span genres and generations, so if you prefer the classic sounds of Pink Floyd or the hip-hop vibes of Travis Scott, there’s something on this list for everyone.
