But before you jump in, have you ever stopped to think about why listening to music when you’re high is such an enjoyable experience? Why do some songs seem to just hit differently?

Well, keep reading to learn a little more—and hit that download button on our playlists, of course!

Why Listening To Music High Is a Great Idea

Studies show that listening to music actually provides “a total brain workout.”

It can reduce anxiety, blood pressure, and pain. On top of that, it may also improve sleep quality, mood, mental alertness, and memory. If you need any further incentive to listen to your favourite songs when high, then there you have it.

However, rather interestingly, music is also strongly connected to memory. If you put on one of these best Spotify playlists when you’re high, you might find yourself flooded with memories you didn’t even know you had—or ones you love to remember.

Music contributes to the release of happy hormones called dopamine. Given how weed interacts with our dopamine systems, it’s no wonder that people have been pairing the two together for as long as they’ve existed. Pretty dope, right?

The long and the short of it are that weed and music are a match made in heaven. So, with all that being said, it’s time to choose your favourite strain, kick your feet up, and lose yourself in some of the best songs to listen to when you’re high!

3 Bangin’ Spotify Playlists for Your Next Sesh

1. True North Cannabis Co.’s Curated Playlist

The best Spotify playlists for when you’re high are ones that include a variety of genres and styles while keeping the vibe where it belongs—like this one. You know it’s a good one when each song is hand-picked by our expert team of budtenders.

Opening this playlist is “Dumb” by Nirvana, a guitar-driven track that’s bound to make you feel like the lead character in a coming-of-age movie. It’s light, airy, and has some of the dark, tongue-in-cheek humour Kurt Cobain was known for.

Somewhere down the line, Billie Eillish’s synth-pop, electronica masterpiece “Bury a Friend” will demand all your attention with its artistically “eerie” vibes. Your inner low-key villain will definitely be bopping along to this one.

Imagine Dragons will steal the show too with one of the catchiest rock/alternative-indie tracks you’ve ever heard. Feel the “magic in your bones” on the song called, well…”Bones.” You’ll still be feeling the beat even when you move on to watching some shows.

About five hours into this playlist, Portugal the Man will check whether you “Feel it Still.” And hey, this retro work of art might just bring out your inner “rebel just for kicks” now. Fair warning: you might find it impossible not to clap along. 

2. Ultimate Stoners Playlist

Buckle up, friends—there is 24 hours of music here. Ultimate Stoners is definitely one of the best Spotfoy playlists for when you’re high, no doubt about it.

Travis Scott’s song “Highest in The Room” is a title that couldn’t possibly be more suitable for weed moments. Its chill hip-hop/rap vibes will instantly have you hooked. As with most of Scott’s music, it’s ethereal and will have you floating.

There’s no denying “Young, Wild & Free” by Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, and Bruno Mars is the ultimate anthem for stoners—you’ll be so glad it’s in this playlist. You already know the words to the hook of this certified pop-rap classic: “So what, we smoke weed/ We’re just having fun / We don’t care who sees.”

“Because I Got High” by Afroman, “I’m a Stoner” by Lil’ Flip and JJ Tha Prince, “Marijuana” by Kid Cudi, and “Dope Game” by Baka Not Nice are also *very fittingly* part of this playlist.

3. 420 Chill Vibes | Stoner | Hip Hop

This Spotify playlist for when you’re high will check all the boxes for hip-hop fans. Coming in at 17 hours across a total of 280 tracks, it’s a certified crowd-pleaser with almost 10,000 likes.

With Healy kicking things off with “$150/ Roll Widdit,” this playlist begins on quite a cheery hip-hop note. By the time you reach track 106, you’ll be feeling “Summer on the Southside” by Lando Chill and Calvin Valentine, a total gem with light reggae tones.

This playlist ends with “FLAWS” by PRICE and Kota the Friend, a fresh new beat released in May 2023 that’s a perfect addition to any stoner’s playlist. The prominent saxophone in the background makes it a flawless cross between hip-hop and lounge music.
