Marijuana & Music
Go together like "bop-shoo-wop-shoo-something-or-other-ramma lama ding dong."

 

Experiencing music is to being stoned what a partner is to sex--a bit more work on the front end, but an altogether better experience in the long haul.

It is readily agreed in most smoking fellowships that Pro-Logic, Surround-Sound and THX all suck to varying degrees in comparison to THC Sound.

Don't be surprised if you hear familiar songs in a new light.  You may understand lyrics that previously made no sense.  You may pick out sounds and instruments that you never before noticed.  You may pick out several tracks which don't actually exist to the rest of the world.  You may gain an appreciation for types of music you hardly noticed previously.  You may also want to try playing them backwards and see if God has anything to say to you.

Here are some examples of Proven Pot Tunes and Artists:

Mostly Harmless:
The Official Band of Earth 

Our carefully selected team of research associates work obscene hours during which they incessantly smoke hooters and reminisce about concerts they couldn't swear with any conviction they attended, to select the most appropriate weed-tunes.  Any one of them could tell you six bands that covered any given Dylan tune, play Hendrix's "Star-Spangled Banner" in a dropped-D tuning and tell you the actual latitude a sample of marijuana was grown by smell alone.

Each tune is brutally tested by the research team using a cryptic set of critera which they insist they cannot reveal due to union regulations and an impeccable moral fibre.
