Canadian researchers at Toronto Metropolitan University are studying how cannabis affects music enjoyment. The study, conducted at Club Lit, aims to determine if the level of intoxication influences immersion in music and enhances enjoyment of familiar songs. Participants rate their music absorption while using cannabis in a relaxed setting. The researchers hope to gather 1,000 responses by late January to analyze the effects of cannabis on auditory perception and enjoyment. This research could have implications for understanding conditions like anhedonia, where individuals struggle to find pleasure in activities. The study seeks to explore the broader impacts of cannabis on music appreciation in a natural environment.
