music for the actual act of stoning

Not music you listen to while you're stoned, I mean the music that you like to have going while you're actually in the process of getting high--either alone or with friends. Cause, y'know, when you're smoking your high is constantly going up, until about 5 mins after you finish your last toke. It's different that way. Also the music definitely sets the tone of the stone.

mine are:

GIMMIE SHELTER
the Stones
(great for summer day smoking)

CROSSTOWN TRAFFIC
Jimi
(ditto)

I FEEL FREE
Cream
(esp. good on a blunt ride where you don't exactly trust the driver)

WILLIE THE PIMP
Zappa
(funky weird shit)

SHE SAID SHE SAID
the Beatles
(or any Beatles, really)

THAT'S IT FOR THE OTHER ONE
the Dead
(esp. the version off Skull & Roses with that kickin drum)

ECHOES
Floyd
(classic)

DOUBLE IMAGE
Miles Davis
(screeEEECH wonk BARAANNGG awesome stuff)

TROUBLE NO MORE
Allmans
(the new Allman bros do really kick substantial ass)

ROUND MIDNIGHT
T. Monk
(played this high on coke for a school music fest)

WASN'T BORN TO FOLLOW
the Byrds
(makes me feel like I'm floating)

IF YOU WANT TO BE A BIRD
Holy Modal Rounders
(obviously)


Who else has any? Who else even picks songs based on this rather small window?

Thatâ??s a great list of tried-and-true stoned music.

Some trivia:

Ironically, Zappa (Willie the Pimp) was anti-drug, and the tune was sung by Don Van Vlet (sp) AKA Captain Beefheart - also anti-drug, I believe. I went to a Beefheart concert on acid once, and the underlying message of his brand new (early 70â??s) album â??Clear Spotâ?� was anti-acid. I didnâ??t know this, and was tripping on some powerful LSD.

The Holy Modal Rounders' Peter Stampfel was one of the movers and shakers of the 60's music scene (also played with the FUGS and many other aggregations), is credited with inventing "acid-folk" music, and is still somewhat musically active - although I believe heâ??s been working for a number of years in NY with science fiction publishing. I met him at a coffeehouse performance in the 1970â??s. I offered him a (unlit) joint, but he declined â?? so I gave it to his backup musician, who gratefully accepted LOL.

The new CD reissue of Janis Joplinâ??s Pearl is great. There is a second disc with performances recorded at the Festival Express Tour in Canada, 1970â?? during the LIVE performance of Move Over, Janis says, â??This is a song that requires audience participation. All you have to do is clap your hands, man â?? I know you can cope with it, no matter how stoned you are. I mean, weâ??re gonna cope with it and weâ??re all pretty stoned too!â?�

I've made countless smoking mixes specifically picking songs for what point in the session I would be at when the particular song comes up... so yes I do take into account that "small period of time."

I think Marley is really good while smoking. I don't really dig on it too much when I'm stoned for some reason, but on the way up its perfect. There's lots of other stuff thats good all the time, but I think marley is what sticks out in my head as good "smoking" music.

String Cheese Incident, Sublime, sometimes Rage.A.T.M. is good, Tool, 60's-70's classic rock, Indy Rap-no violent shit ever!!!! Phish, Dead, Doors, Coldplay, etc.

Theres no set list for me, if there was I would be so sick of it, because I smoke every fuckin day

Right now my choice is Arlo Gutherie - Coming Into Los Angeles

Bringing in a couple of keys,
Don't check my bags if you please
Mr Customs man

Most of my friends love Tool, so that's usually what I'm listening too when I'm smoking. I like softer stuff, but when I'm in the process of smoking I like something a little more intense for some reason.

sum 41 - no reason, 88
jimi hendrix - all along the watchtower
krayzie bone - smokin buddha
sean paul - gimme the light, punkie

nice lsit dick

PAntera-im broken
superjoint-wating for the turnign point
dj hype/andy c-junglest ruffest rydims
doors-alabama song
wu tang-cream.pinky ring

while i'm burning it ... fire it up - kotton mouth kings or screwed up by ludacris

i like rap while im blazing and some nice soft rcok once i'm blazed

Don't care how long your gone Don't care how long you stay
Good kind treatment will bring you home someday
Someday baby you ain't no trouble for me Anymore!

And Hey WOW A Saucer Full of Secerts!!!!!!! COOL......

Jane's Addiction is great to pack a bowl and then smoke to.
Once me and my sister were in her car listening to the radio getting stoned and it was playing eric Clapton. Neither one of us could think of his name and it was driving us crazy. It was awesome.

-Glowis

while smoking
bob marley- feat krazie bone rebel music
Rage against the machine- CIA
bob marley- kinkey reggae
bob marley- cocaine blues
rage against the machine- wind below
system of a down- nuguns

when going up i usualy like tool, kmk, hendrix, joplin, sublime....i REALLY like the song white rabbit by jefferson airplane.....yall have some good choices too

I be tokin to some Metallica and some Cypress Hill. it depends on the mood of the day to pick whice songs from those artists..............of and sometimes i listen to some like snoop dogg

@ Breukelen

I knew Zappa didn't do drugs, but I didn't realize he was specifically anti-drugs, nor did I know the message of Clear Spot. Thats okay though, heightens the irony, and he's got plenty of other stuff that rules anyway (Who Needs the Peace Corps?)

So thanks for the trivia!

i listen to christopher lawrence's album "around the world" when i'm blazin, it's just a continuous dance mix, real trippy in my opinion

Clapton,
Stairway to heaven....awesome anytime...
Floyd - Dark side
Stones - select few.
basically all the worlds best guitarists..talent anytime.

Mariah Carey- Fantasy

Holy crap, I was trying to remember the name of that song forever! I have some John Prine tracks on cassette (Lost Dogs & Mixed Blessings or something like that), I listen to it when my friends aren't around to constantly give me shit for it. Him and James Taylor and Cat Stevens too.

Damn, lemme think.

Anything hendrix, but "Hey Joe" specifically

Anything off of "The Wall" by Pink Floyd

Clapton.... enough said.

But my favorite toking song of all time has got to be "No Quarter" By Led Zepplin

and for the love of all things good, please listen to "Layla" by Clapton when your high... it's just... wow.

311, sublime, bob marley, bone thugs, jack johnson, dave matthews

I like Rory Gallagher, Led Zep (Hey, Hey what can I do), lots of late 60's early 70's--Bob Marley anytime...whatever strikes me as good at the moment :)
