Music Linked to Marijuana Use

exuse me while i light my spliff

funny thing is the endocannabinoid system has receptors in our bodies whether one tokes or not....

to resist just causes a little, hmmm, out of tune note that the rest of the orchestra of life is quickly ready to absorb, hence the vast array of a scientific experiential collective chimes in- you can watch, tune in or tune out which ever... that's the real beauty,
CHOICE determined by the individual to finally 'be' it's own beautifully collective self.

Anybody listen to Sleep & OM? Makes me feel like I'm high even when I'm not =) And then being high and listening to them is like a wet dream.

well, no shit, Sherlock! I didn't listen to music that mentioned marijuana when I was growing up (of course, all we had back then was an Edison phonograph that played 78s) :D Thusly, I never smoked marijuana, never had the desire to try it- same for pills, too. Yes, really!

I don't smoke weed, I hate it, taste like and smells like shit....
I listen to Country here and there, but I'm Asian... I listen to black metal sometimes but I prefer rap, I don't sag cause I listen to rap but that also means I don't wear skinny jeans cause I listen to pop/rock sometimes... Researches like this don't make sense to me what was the point of it... what is he trying to prove?

Mellow mood has got me, so let the music rock me.

Meh, a lot of the music I listen to talks about toking up, but I don't smoke. But since most of the youth dose, and music references it quite often, this study seems kind of tainted.

weird. I have never smoked weed, but I also don't really like reggae, unless it's dubstep.

music also tends to be linked to peace... i think bob's music is a perfect example... plus we need to stop calling this "PLANT" a drug

People do drugs because they want to. Stop trying to find something to blame and come up with cures for diseases already! Damn medical researchers are wasting our tax dollars...

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds!!

Definitely think that those who smoke dope seek out the music related to it.

They should have also took into account where the participants lived to make the study better.

This study would be even more interesting if they examined any links between other drugs and behaviors with music. Otherwise, it seems like a waste of time.

Am I the only one who thinks Bob Marley's music is dry and boring?

Gives me the same "bleh" feeling that I got from being at Home Depot or watching The Adventures of Pete & Pete.

I do not smoke , but I love the music . Satchmo is said to have smoked regularly . That was before lyrics like that , I think (Jazz) . http://www.ukcia.org/potculture/30/louis.html I think some people just need an excuse to slow down and enjoy life . Like when guys took up cigarets to get the extra break in the army in WW2 .

I don't smoke pot and I don't like listening to music about smoking pot.

Woohoo, what do I win?

this has nothing to do with anything

Uhhhmmm...Yeah...So here's the deal! People listen to music they can relate to! That doesn't exactly mean they do a lot of the stuff in the lyrics to the sings they listen to,but isn't pretty much a no duh that people that smoke pot would like songs about pot? OH! & if Ravi Shankar & George Harrison didn't make it clear enough,the classical musicians of India rarely use drugs of ANY kind! Hmmm...If this study is valid, then I do have to wonder about the people who listent songs about playing on yellow road lines! LOL

I know I like to smoke some music while I listen to my weed......

Yeah and listening to heavy metal means you're more likely to go out and kill people right? They've been blaming music for promoting sex & drugs since the 60's, it's merely a catalyst, a scapegoat the right and morons alike can point at and blame instead of taking personal responsibility or parental responsibilities.

Example-

This underage talentless twat Miley Cirus pole dances half naked on national TV to her juvenile demographic and parents still go out and buy their kid's her merch and support her and her disgusting agenda, but act so shocked when little Annie ends up dressing like a whore in school and loses her virginity at 12 in the boy's locker room...is it Miley's fault or the parent's fault for being so fucking naive? It's always easier to blame others isn't it America?

Thank god we found a way to convert people!!!

This sounds like some weird science — and by weird I mean 'poor'

does that mean you're a tweeker if you listen to master of the puppets?

i can hear ducks quacking.

I used to smoke weed all day everyday in high school and my music didn't reference any kind of drugs...

"Although it may be that heavy exposure to music about marijuana causes marijuana smoking, it may also be that those who smoke marijuana seek out music with lyrics related to marijuana," Primack said."

Gee, ya think so?

These people are also twice as likely not to die from alcohol abuse or drug overdose. Music is also fighting for the cause.

So many great musicians smoke pot as inspiration to make their music and often sing about it in their lyrics, people listen to this music and smoke pot because of it, maybe they then get inspired because of this and create yet more great music! Awesome, the cycle of pot continues!

I need to smoke a bowl and think about it....

And still I gain no deeper knowledge of myself or anyone else.
This article... has meant... nothing.

I smoke kohlrabi myself, but can't seem to find any music to back it up, so listen to the gospel hour instead......it's not a bad match

Talk about *duh*.

To me, the last line is the most important:

" it may also be that those who smoke marijuana seek out music with lyrics related to marijuana," Primack said."

BING! I think this is much more likely than the other way around.

so does the Ramones song about a labotomy make one want to go out and get one, or songs of novacane, ritilin, and white lines still make people unthinking zombies for whatever they are listening too? Well,..if soo...it is time to throw away my Cab Callaway Cd's.......because now I need "cokie"

so much BS , must be some old fart who wrote that

Let the music from earth be bach not bombs...
All music has a multifacet of connotations, canabis lyrics are freedom songs we all carry inside... regardless of whether you smoke, drink, pop pills or meditate... to each their own and the coctail won't be so volatile. JOYEAUX NOEL- namaste- may peace find it's way into your heart in the coming year...

Oh My God....Really!!??

Bob looks like a crackhead in that picture
