“Indica or Sativa?” This question about cannabis has dominated weed conversation for quite some time.

Why do music and cannabis work so well together? For starters, weed brings you into the moment, so you’re completely present with the music. Secondly, marijuana provides you with the perceived expansion of time so when you’re listening to music you can really get lost in it which can be a meditative experience.

You know a bit about weed, right? Yet, someone will drop some cannabis terms now and then, and you’re not sure what they mean. With widespread cannabis legalization, there are many new products in stores. You may know what a joint or bowl is, but in the presence of stoners, certain terminology may elude you. We’re here to help you be in “the know”.
