Ten new strains to pair with classic albums – Cannabis | weed | marijuana

What ten new cannabis strains pair with some classic albums? Cannabis and music go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Finally, we have cannabinoid receptors in our ears. When combining cannabis and music, many of us experience heightened awareness. Some of us develop a stronger emotional connection to music.

Others may want to relax, improve their mood, or increase their focus to delve deeper into the lyrics.

That’s why we’ve put together ten classic albums that you need to listen to more than once to fully enjoy.

Although we have four months left in 2023, some potent genetics have hit the market this year. So what ten new strains go with some classic albums?

Ten new varieties to combine with classic albums

Pancakes – MF DOOM’s MM.. EAT

There is good evidence that Madvillainy, his collaboration with Madlib, is MF DOOM’s best work.

But these are not the top ten classic albums. This list is only a fraction of what is available. When testing Pancakes, we think it’s best paired with MF DOOM’s loose concept album MM.. FOOD.

While DOOM raps about meatballs, you can enjoy the buttery smell of this new cannabis strain. Pancakes lives up to its name, both in flavor and feel. After a big pancake breakfast, you might find yourself melting into the couch.

So make sure the album is already playing. You don’t want to have to get up again. The effects of this strain last; When Mr. Fantastik performs for “Rap Snitches,” you’re still flying high.

Strawberry Guava – Weens The Mollusk

One might think that with a name like “Strawberry Guava” we would recommend Ween’s first commercial album “Pure Guava”. But everyone knows this is one of the worst in their entire catalogue. (Although “the worst” Ween album is still better than most artists’ best).

However, for this new strain, we recommend The Mollusk by Ween. The sweet strawberry aroma features hints of lime and kiwi and gives the strain a strong citrus scent.

Combined with sea shanties, psychedelic prog rock and dark nautical themes, feel the sea breeze on your face and the smell of salt in the air.

Or that’s your ceiling fan and the neighbor is cooking fish on the grill.

Anyway, the album that inspired the SpongeBob SquarePants TV show deserves a good cannabis combo, and we can’t think of a better strain than 2023’s Strawberry Guava.

Crazy Hazy – Replica of Captain Beefheart’s trout mask

You have to be crazy to listen to Trout Mask Replica and enjoy it the way you enjoy it… well, literally any other kind of music.

In the late 1960s, Captain Beefheart indoctrinated a group of young musicians to play the sounds in his head. He isolated them in a house where the band rehearsed the double album in cult-like conditions for eight months.

Trout Mask is unlike anything else in the rock catalogue. Before or after. It’s like the blues has been ripped open, torn apart, and then put back together.

In other words, what Ornette Coleman did to jazz, Captain Beefheart did to rock ‘n’ roll. So for a Trout Mask pairing, you need a heavy hitter. Ideally a strain suitable for medical cannabis patients.

Crazy Hazy could be the best cannabis strain of 2023 for this combination. Its sweet lemon OG and pine flavor will anchor familiarity in the choppy waters of Beefheart’s avant-garde blues.

Ten new varieties to combine with classic albums

Pink Boost Goddess – Lauryn Hills The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Pink Boost Goddess is one of those strains that are high in rare cannabinoids (like THCV) without sacrificing the terpene aroma. This creamy herbal-strawberry flavored strain is an Emerald Cup and California State Fair winner.

So why not combine it with Lauryn Hill’s debut solo album? Hill’s distinctive voice will guide you through a spectrum of emotions. At some point, it might feel like she’s speaking directly to you.

If you like lyrical content that matters (as opposed to the surrealism of the last three entries on this list), then this is the album for you. Hill deals with love, self-discovery, relationships and social issues with remarkable depth and vulnerability.

We can’t think of a better album for Pink Boost Goddess than The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

Element – Wu Tang’s Enter the Wu-Tang (36 chambers)

If you had to pick a single hip-hop album from the 1990s (or even from the last 40 years), you would have to pick this one.

The Wu Tang Clan’s debut album is a rollercoaster ride. Raw and somber, the album explores inner city life, street wisdom and martial arts philosophy. It’s bold and authentic, setting the stage for future artists to follow in their footsteps.

For these reasons, we recommend pairing the album with Element. The California State Fair winner for total terpene content is also an Emerald Cup winner. Element has a flavor profile like dark berries and mint. It’s mentally stimulating and physically relaxing without leaving you couch locked and in a coma.

It’s the perfect strain for entering the 36 chambers.

Ten new varieties to combine with classic albums

Cereal Milk – Led Zeppelin’s physical graffiti

Again, these are not the top ten albums of all time. Many might argue that Led Zeppelin IV is the best of the band. But for a long-lasting and stimulating cannabis strain like Cereal Milk, we recommend the Physical Graffiti double album.

This album is Zeppelin’s first platinum record and includes “Kashmir,” a song almost everyone knows. But even more: The album shows the bandwidth and innovation of the band. The songs range from hard-hitting classic rock anthems to introspective acoustic ballads.

A timeless classic, Physical Graffiti is best paired with Cereal Milk, a vigorous flower that you’ll also want to grow. It produces huge colas in bulk.

Jealousy – Pink Floyd’s animals

What better album to pair with the thought-provoking and relaxing Jealousy strain than Pink Floyd’s 1977 Animals?

The strain will make you think deeply, but when paired with animals, those thoughts can focus on societal constructs, climbing the corporate ladder, and the absurdity of human behavior.

Inspired by George Orwell’s Animal Farm, you might even find yourself putting on the album, smoking that joint from Jealously, and reading through Orwell’s masterpiece.

The lyrics to Animals contain socio-political comments that are still relevant today. Paired with jealousy you are ready for a revolution.

Ten new varieties to combine with classic albums

Warp Speed ​​- Public Enemy’s It’ll take a nation to hold us back

Warp Speed ​​is a 2023 cannabis strain that produces one of those gassy and chemical-rich aromas, but also smells like sweet fruit. The result? A powerful, powerful experience.

Which album could fit this description? It’s Public Enemy’s It Takes a Nation to Hold Us Back, of course.

Like the paired cannabis strain, Nation is redefining what’s possible. Like Pink Floyd’s Animals, by the end of this masterpiece you’ll be ready for open rebellion.

But in the meantime, enjoy this classic hip-hop album that sounds dated by today’s standards, but is still a groundbreaking work of art that continues to inform and entertain.

Apple Fritter – GZA’s Liquid Swords

Do you know those cannabis strains that give you a feeling of high spirits and “in the right zone” or a state of flow? The genetics that are perfect for getting the job done or cleaning the house? This is Apple Fritter.

A combination of Sour Apple and Animal Cookies, this strain is designed to get you energized and moving. That’s why we recommend GZA’s Liquid Swords.

Of course, one downside to this combination is that you might pause to listen when you’re using Apple Fritter to get work done.

GZA’s texts are razor-sharp. He can tell a story through metaphors and complex narratives that cover street life, philosophy and personal struggles.

Liquid Swords embodies the Wu Tang’s intellectual approach to rap. GZA is in the zone for the entire album, making Apple Fritter a complementary companion when you’re lyrically involved.

But beware: Apple Fritter causes crazy food cravings. Have something to eat nearby.

Medusa F1 – Nirvana’s Nevermind

Released in 1991, Nirvana’s “Nevermind” is a seminal moment in music history, especially rock history. It ended the era of ’80s hair metal and brought “grunge” into the mainstream.

Kurt Cobain’s raspy vocals combined with the slick production and catchy hooks make this album perfect as background music (to get some work done) or as the center of your attention.

That’s why we recommend Medusa F1, a hybrid of Sugar Magnolia and American Beauty. This well-balanced high doesn’t leave you couch-locked, making it perfect for getting things done around the house.

Add some Nirvana and it’s a cannabis pairing that feels timeless. Even better, Medusa F1 is high in CBG, as well as myrcene, ocimene, farnesene, and caryophyllene terpenes. These terpenes give the strain a peppery aroma with hints of fruits and berries.

Ten new varieties to combine with classic albums

As already mentioned, these are some of the best classical albums of all time. They are in no particular order.

But these are (in our opinion) the top ten strains of 2023 (so far). Combined with some classic albums, it’s a piece of heaven on earth.
