Music and marijuana go together perfectly. Marijuana makes music almost come alive in a 3D way. The properties of marijuana improve current attention, prevent searching for memories, and help the mind focus on the music, making it seem fresher and more intriguing. It helps the body focus on the current moment. Both marijuana and vinyl are on the rise. The legal cannabis industry just reached $29.5 billion in 2023 and the vinyl industry's revenue increased 17% to $1.2 billion in 2022. This is the sixteenth consecutive year of growth and accounted for 71% of revenue from physical formats in physical stores.

Of course, which vinyl goes best with marijuana? Here are a few suggestions.

Pink Floyd – The Dark Side of the Moon

Pink Floyd's classic allows the consumer to wallow in philosophy and explore the corners of the mind. While enjoying the plant, thoughts and preconceived notions can be dismantled and reconstructed. The rhythm of the song makes it feel as if every bone and muscle is alive and independent.

De La Soul – Three Feet High And Rising

De La's beat is great for a happy high. Completely perfected in its alchemical balance of fun and wisdom, with a hefty dash of silliness, it will let your soul escape into a colorful playground.
