What kind of music do you listen to when you're high as fuck?

I prefer funky shit, but I always end up listening to Lil' Wayne and shit like that because the people I chill with are wiggers*.


*Or something.

I don't smoke anymore, but when I did, Let's Face It by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

anything and everything - used to just be trippy stuff though

One of my best times listening to music while also being very high was Welcome To The Machine - Pink Floyd

I got stoned for the first time in 4 months just the other day...watched Requiem for a Dream. And Wondershowzen. Loved it.

Pink Floyd, any psytrance, especially Infected Mushroom.

Sometimes music can BE a drug. I remember the first time I listened to Jimi Hendrix. Oh, I heard of him and heard his songs, but never really listened. But somebody recommended 'Electric Ladyland' to me and I bought the cassette(remember them?) and popped it in to my Sony Walkman(remember them?). I laid down in my bed to go to sleep and listened. WOW! Music expanded my consciousness. I think there were residual traces of the drugs that Jimi Hendrix used in that music and under the right conditions, you can get high off of his songs. *nod*

Free jazz, Medeski Martin and Wood, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, World Saxophone Quartet, Sex Mob, maybe something like Gavin Bryars or Steve Reich, of course some standbys like Hendrix or Pink Floyd (RIP Rick Wright, thank you), Funkadelic, blues sung by a guy with bad teeth and a beat up guitar. Some other stuff.

I listen to the same stuff I listen to when I'm not high...

...did I miss a memo? Am I supposed to act completely different when I'm high?

Definitly infected mushrroms there the fukin sht man

Well ... i was hanging out with ... Straughn ... one night where this dude named Nick took us for a spin, and gave us some kind of weird laced shit that made my vision narrow down to what appeared at first to be a large droplet of still water on a windshield in the rain.
My muscles strongly contracted and my galvanic response went COMPLETELY out of whack. Every time Straughn would tap me on the shoulder (for whatever reason he was doing it), in the time it took for me to realize i was being tapped, i'd have started turning and he'd have already forgotten he'd tapped me.
I'd say "what" to him, and he'd reply, "what", and i'd have forgotten what i'd turned around for in the first place. This happened several times, usually ending with my muscles contracting a bit more and i would scrunch up like a twitching ball in the front seat and then fighting back because, for some reason, it was amusing to me at the time.
When i recognized Nick was asking if we had any tunes, i fumbled ... and i mean fumbled ... through my pockets, and found my Closer/March of the Pigs *live* tape, and thought, what the hell.
So that was pretty awesome. Both tunes. Very different feel, of course.
Then it wore off for Nick, and he said get the fuck out of my car, and i spent just about exactly one whole minute trying desperately to coordinate my muscles to get out the door. Seriously.
Then Nick drove off, leaving us on the secluded, wooded single lane road out in the middle of an undeveloped subdivision in the dark Alaskan winter, some three or four blocks from the car, all tripped out and basically not in control of my muscles or awareness of the cold. Straughn wandered off and managed to make a good 50/50 choice on that lane and found his car, got me about 15 or 20 minutes later (took a while to get there of course), while i basically tried to do jumping jacks and other things to keep warm, along with the twitching.
Ah, good times.

Oh yeah, i also took a good trip with 'shrooms once with Punjab the Sane, and we sat and listened to Killing Joke's Pandemonium album, and had a few telepathic (or at least coincidentally identical) visions over the course of the album.
Then we did a bunch of other stuff that would take far too long to explain, especially since i've probably made mention of it on an anecdote thread or two.
Foot notes ... anime cats, Doug Bradley, Jehovah's Witnesses, Joseph (well, Dennis) and his Amazing Technicolour Bathrobe, square jaws, Whoppers (Burger King), steam, his momma, his sister, screwy cars, drive shafts, and lingerie.
And a couch that absorbed my wallet for 7 1/2 years.
Hmmm.

I don't get high because it is illegal to purchase drugs.

See, prohibition does work - I don't touch drugs because they are illegal.

I used to get high. I don't anymore. I don't remember what I listened to when I was high.

Not that I've ever touched the stuff *cough cough* but if I had I probably would have listened to EBM, such as VNV nation, Icon of Coil, Assemblage 23, Apoptygma Bezerk

Then again I listen to those anyway

That's not a very good reason. Basically, you would, but you're afraid of the legal repercussions?

Though I'm not a stoner either (never have been, never will be - I'm genetically prone to schizophrenia, so it's probably not a good idea), I suppose I would have trippy video game music on in the background. Nostalgia is fun.

Not saying I agree with his statement regarding prohibition, but why is there something wrong with not doing something just because it happens to be illegal? That's one of the main reasons I don't smoke; I'm a coward who has an irrational fear of being arrested. Just curious why this reasoning is any less legitimate than concern over health risks, say?

Firstly, is it legitimate to rephrase this slightly into "I have an irrational fear of being arrested. Why is this reasoning less legitimate?"? Seems almost like you've answered your own question!

Not doing it just because it's illegal suggests that you haven't actually thought rationally about it beyond the dictation of others.

Not doing it because it's illegal doesn't necessarily hold up either, in two different circumstances. Firstly, what if vital action became illegal? If it was illegal to engage in discussion, you would have to either break the law or take part in the collapse of civilisation. Secondly, if the law is implicitly trusted absolutely, how can you change it? Civil disobedience is a reminder to the people in lawmaking that they have not yet got everything right, and breaking potentially contentious laws deliberately can be a powerful statement of conviction.

If a law is wrong, it should be faught. If fighting the law requires breaking it, then so be it.

when i used ot get high Dubessey, Berlioz , Yasmin Levy, Guess Who, The Loovin Spoonful and occasoinally The Drugs dont Work - Verve

I have an irrational fear of being arrested and going to prison. Doing drugs is not something I am willing to jeopardise my freedom over. Regardless of how slight the risk.

I am quite happy to engage in civil disobediance over certain other issues. I participated in the protests over the Death in Custody of Doomadgee Mulrunji. But drugs is not something I feel strongly enough about, which I suppose is a different reason to "I'm too scared."

Never did drugs, never will. I'm too high on life. :p

"I didn't think thinking about it to be worthwhile", which seems to be what I'm getting from you, seems to be the more honest response than "I don't want to go to jail". The latter suggests a concerned evaluation of the issues, but often serves as a cover-up for those who don't want to spend time on it. Arguably, law purposefully encourages this attitude towards issues with which the majority have some explicit stance, which is one reason why I believe that agreeing with the law for the sake of it is intellectually lazy.

It's not necessarily a mistake to agree with the law, but doing it as a matter of principle results in legal stagnation (bad laws stay there) and generally restrains socio-political thought, which I strongly encourage people to resist.

that song makes me feel high even when i'm not :p


we used to listen to metal... though i'd usually switch over to Hendrix or something as soon as i could. just can't go wrong with Hendrix, or Cream. and No Quarter by Led Zep also goes down well. bit of reggae also good. something to relax to - which means not metal http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/4788/rolleyes1.gif


when you mix weed with E, its gotta be some kind of jazz-n-bass stuff.... funky but energetic :-)

Really whatever I'm in the mood for, normaly some sort a rock/metal/punk, or Ska/reggea, or soul/northen soul, or dance/rap/rave, whatever.

I'm always fucking stuck with listening to shitty rap because my friends suck, but when I get to choose, it's psychedelic for me.

For this situation I'd recommend listening to Kayo Dot (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=2216629)

Good ol´ reggae. It always works.:tongue:

Never did drugs, never will. I'm too high on life. :p

Withdrawal is a killer. :p

Withdrawal is a killer. :p

Indeed. And the symptoms last for eternity. :(

Queens of the Stone Age. Buh-duh-dum.

(No, but I really do)

Strangely, when I'm stoned I like up-tempo stuff, but when I'm tweaking I like really mellow quiet stuff. The volume level goes down the higher I get, I guess because my sense of sound becomes super sensitive. Later I turn my speakers on and it's like, WTF, who could possibly hear that?

Ohh no music = loud

I've done the same thing with Shpongle before. Really awesome.

Wait, you tried to go to sleep at a young age one night, and during this attempt listened to Jimi's Electric Ladyland on a Sony Walkman?

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have found the missing ingredient in the Super Lunatic Program. We now need a few candidates willing to volunteer to try out this new Super Lunatic Serum. I have confidence that we will succeed in creating another Lunatic.

Meh. I've never been high, probably never will be. It's like fast-food, why so expensive?

Oh, and I have serious health problems with several of my organs, so y'know...

George Clinton/Parliament, Bootsy Collins, Prince, The Goats, Diggable Planets, Peter Tosh, Bob Marley.

That's the short list.

The Used, My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, but then, I pretty much listen to that kind of music all the time.

I just drank a beer (no other intoxication present) and came across Veteran of the Psychic Wars by Blue Öyster Cult (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrd2xf5DIlU).

I'd say the soundtrack to the Vietnam War is always good listening, Pink Floyd also does the trick, I tend to keep my hands from metal as it's not relaxing, Reggae like Marley and others is always good, too.

The only intoxicant I take is the Blood of Christ on Sundays, unless I inhale too much incense. So I usually listen to hymns and motets. (Pink Floyd sounds like it could be interesting, though. I'll have to suggest it to our pastor.)

I listen to Jon LaJoie's "High as Fuck (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2spZ-NDfS4)".

When im home at night chillen, de-stressing etc. I actually like 60's such as Jeffersen Airplane, Fleetwood Mac, the soundtrack from Forrest Gump. When in a circle or outside club I enjoy the bass which I find in hip hop, dance, rock etc. Cypress Hill in peticuliar "Hits From the Bong" is good in any circumstance along with Reggae or "Rainy Day Women" by anonomous. lol.

Welcome to the Machine, nay, the entire Wish You Were Here album, is a trip, regardless of whether your stoned, or stone sober.

Infected Mushroom. Best shit ever when high.

I guess that's it. I mean, people don't need to take drugs, but on a base level, particularly with drugs like marijuana which have few detrimental side effects, I guess there is no reason that they should be illegal. That said, I think there are more important laws to be changed first.

It's not necessarily a mistake to agree with the law, but doing it as a matter of principle results in legal stagnation (bad laws stay there) and generally restrains socio-political thought, which I strongly encourage people to resist.

I agree here. If it weren't for civil disobedience in the cause of civil rights, and women's rights, then the laws would have stayed there. Similarly with the Workchoices industrial relations reforms in my country.

Yes! Have him play "Division Bell."
