Marijuana accesses our brains and positively influences how we perceive things, including music. Marijuana accesses a neurotransmitter system, the endocannabinoid system, which regulates appetite, pain, mood, and memory. The way the plant activates this system explains many of the unique effects it has on music listening. Some of these influences, such as changes in the endocannabinoid system, may not be noticeable at the moment, but can alter how we feel when listening to sounds.
