Effect of Cannabis use on hearing

[dasdoing]

Do you guys know of artists who use drugs and for whatever reason had a sober period? I know of Tima Maia and band and their sober records are considered their musical peak

As a student in Munich in the late 80s, no one cared. But you were kinda discreet about it, even though it was super-common among students.

When I moved to California in the 90s, it was interesting - it was very liberal initially, then they really came down hard on people growing just a few plans at home. Now of course it is completely legalized.

So a spliff turns stereo into mono? Why not give it up and sell one speaker?

There'd be no buzz, then.

 

[egellings]

I think what was meant was that the speakers could not be located in the stereo effect, which was still present.

Ya, mon!

No, it just seems to produce a sensation of filling in the center between a stereo pair of speakers. You modulate your buzz level to adjust the center fill level, as required...as required.

"Effects of Cannabis use on hearing" probably no effect, but effects of perception of music?, absolutely, music will not feel the same after having a psychoactive substance, lol. But improving your technical abilities to analyze music or gears?, hmm would be like the people who after booze think they have become better drivers and press the gas pedal, yeah, lol nope

Doob won't affect eardrum excursion for sure, but it will affect the perception of that excursion, however.

Compared with placebo, cannabis without cannabidiol dampened response to music in bilateral auditory cortex (right: P=.005, left: P=.008), right hippocampus/parahippocampal gyrus (P=.025), right amygdala (P=.025), and right ventral striatum (P=.033). Across all sessions, the effects of music in this ventral striatal region correlated with pleasure ratings (P=.002) and increased functional connectivity with auditory cortex (right: P< .001, left: P< .001), supporting its involvement in music reward. Functional connectivity between right ventral striatum and auditory cortex was increased by cannabidiol (right: P=.003, left: P=.030), and cannabis with cannabidiol did not differ from placebo on any functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging measures. Both types of cannabis increased ratings of wanting to listen to music (P<.002) and enhanced sound perception (P<.001). ~ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5795345/

I could swear, that my Strawberry Diesel
(25% THC), can upgrade the Isine 10, to a LCDi4...

We've got some science on the subject now: https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/pmuhx

Quantitative analyses revealed that participants reported significantly greater hearing sensitivity (p &lt; 0.001) and levels of state absorption (p &lt; 0.001) while high compared to sober. Higher trait absorption in music was associated with greater state absorption while high. Qualitative thematic analysis identified four main themes: (1) Altered Cognitive Processes and Reinterpretations, (2) Auditory Perceptual Effects from New Sensations to Sensory Overload, (3) Emotional Openness, Sensitivity, and Regulation, and (4) Embodiment, Immersion, and Out-of-Body Dissociation. This study provides a framework to understand the complex interactions between cannabis, hearing, and musical experience.

Who knew?

 

[pablolie]

To me, it depends on my state of mind, sober or not. Consuming can be both relaxing and increase focus... but it can also be distracting. Just like not consuming. But that's my personal experience and a small data point.

 

[kemmler3D]

Who knew?

Well... everybody

But at least they've made an attempt to quantify it.This is audio science review after all, not audio "tell stories about the times you've done weed" review.

But what's been quantified? Two groups, one stoned, one not. The stoned went wow and the others didn't.

Yes, but they did it in a formal survey. So now it's science, you see.

I love some Tim Maia tracks but hadn’t ever looked into his story, what a crazy read thanks for mentioning!

This book on the drug use of The Beatles is fun and eye opening and will scratch your itch https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36379732-riding-so-high

They also did brain scans, so that's very science-y.

was the study, “Did you enjoy Dark Side of the Moon high more?” Or were they testing actual hearing? Personally, I love a drink to relax me before a show. 7 drinks in and I’m pretty sure Mille Vanille sound amazing.
