What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience?


In this post let's consider alcohol, nicotine, and coffee drugs, as they are, along with the usual suspects that can get you arrested in most US states and beheaded in Saudi Arabia. I live in Victoria, Canada, which has more marijuana shops than Starbucks, and we have tons of Starbucks. In 10 minutes, I can walk from my house to four dispensaries, which will sell to anyone over 18. OK, enough bragging, For me, a puff, and just one puff (I don't like getting stoned) can be the best tweak ever. A glass of wine is also a fine compliment. Too much alcohol will increase my enjoyment (because I'm drunk) but put Phil Spector in the room (wall of sound and loss of the stuff I value in my system, such as clarity).

I have had moments of musical ecstasy via the sleep deprivation that comes from small children leading to late night listening.  Music between 2-4 am is sublime.....
Fentanyl when I listen to Prince or Michael Jackson otherwise 1990 Latour.
Low dose Propofol is my preference.....
I think its time for a PET scan study on brain activity while listening to music.....
I think Prozac or any SSRI would help most philes enjoy their systems more by nuking OCD tendencies.....
I can also recommend ayahuasca which can add a shamanic solemnity and expansiveness to your listening experience.  The listening room walls disappear and there is only Peruvian jungle (and my speakers)....
