25 Best Songs To Listen To When High, According to Potheads

As someone who enjoys the occasional indulgence in mind-altering substances, I can attest to the fact that music takes on a whole new dimension when you’re high.

The right song can transport you to another world, heighten your senses, and make you feel like you’re floating on a cloud. But with so many options out there, it can be hard to know where to start. That’s where I come in.

After years of experimenting and exploring, I’ve compiled a list of the best songs to listen to when high. So sit back, light up, and let the music take you on a journey of discovery.

Led Zeppelin – Ramble On

It’s inspired by Lord of the Rings and the combination of heavy and light guitar makes it the perfect choice to blow smoke rings to.

Smoke Weed Everyday – Snoop Dogg

Because, well, doh. 

Tame Impala – Yes, I’m Changing

The refined stoner’s song of choice, think Pink Floyd having a baby with John Lennon and you’ll be about there. 

Bowl for Two – The Expendables

Reggae-rock and the ultimate sharing experience? You can’t go wrong, kick back and enjoy that bowl. 

Radiohead – 15 Step

It’s the 5/4 meter that makes this song special, it helps to blur the edges when you’re high. 

Silvia – Miike Snow 

Sometimes, you’ve just gotta let your thoughts roam free and this is the song to do it to. 

Glass Animals – The Other Side of Paradise

Psychedelic prog from the last decade? Count us in as the smoke haze shimmers. 

Blueberry Yum Yum – Ludacris 

If you want to know that others have been there before, Ludacris’ blueberry experience is great company. 

Bob Marley & The Wailers – Sun is Shining

You can’t have a stoner playlist and not include Saint Bob. It’s that simple. 

Tubthumping – Chumbawumba

When you just want to burst into song, then you want Tubthumping as your companion. 

Gorillaz – Feel Good Inc. 

The video is as much a part of why this is perfect for a smoking experience as the song, lay back and be amazed. 

Mary Jane Shoes – Fergie

Fergie sings about her love for weed and we love it. 

Pink Floyd – Comfortably Numb

You’re not a stone until you’ve spent an afternoon in the company of Pink Floyd and Comfortably Numb should be a highlight of that afternoon. 

Come Around – Collie Buddz  

A song about the relief when the weed is finally delivered, don’t miss it.

When you want it old school, it doesn’t get cooler than a bit of Coltrane.

Get your water pipe, spark up and go with the flow.

Another legend of the stoner scene, can’t go wrong.

A meditation on the brilliance of the herb.

Kid Cuid sings his praises to the spliff and, yet, oddly he no longer smokes.
