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).

Here is the logic behind the false assumption that pot is a gateway drug: Potatoes make you rob banks. How do we know? By asking bank robbers if the ate potatoes before they robbed banks. Both potatoes and pot are plentiful; ERGO!, their use in our society does not predict a causal relationship. Remember kiddies. When you roll a joint, make certain you smoke it from the correct end, or you will think your directional wires are backwards.

I crave endorphins.
It starts - the feeling in my body - about 10 minutes into my morning run. I run for 40 mins and the feeling lasts for about 10-15 minutes after.
Of course none of this happens without taking a drug in the morning before the run - Black Coffee. A big mug. And it’s all downhill after that.......until......

Later in the day ......good vibe music also creates the endorphins effect with me.

I do however find I need to have some kind of fluid at hand when I listen to music next to my right hand. Maybe the heat from the Class A amp is dehydrating me.. 

Canada Dry Club Soda mixed with OJ - 50 - 50. Needs to be really cold when served.

On the rocks optional.

I agree with raymonda that music itself is a drug. You may try to make your best to see and feel that (without using any drag). When I listen to music at night in my living room, I usually take some glasses of tee (green or sometimes black) that makes me more relaxed. And when I switch on my studio system in the mornings I do yoga asanas and try to connect the music I hear with what I feel while doing the postures. So try to make your best to substitute drags with something else (having a similar outcome), in particular, with music.
