#203: A rainy (or freezing) day cannabis playlist:

50 songs to vibe to

On the West Coast, this is the stretch of the year when the rain settles in and does not leave. Across much of the rest of the country, it is already cold enough for frost on the windshield and the first snow of the season. Either way, the light goes flat by mid-afternoon, plans get cancelled, and the best option is a blanket, a window and something good to listen to. Below are 50 songs, arranged in five sets of ten, built to carry a slow afternoon indoors, whether the window shows rain or snow.

Does cannabis make music sound better?

Ask people who use cannabis and most will say yes. In a Toronto Metropolitan University study published in 2025, 104 adult cannabis users described how they listen, and music was the most common thing they did while high. They reported hearing more detail, paying closer attention to lyrics, feeling rhythm and bass in their bodies, and becoming fully absorbed in a song. A few said it could tip into too much, with sound becoming overwhelming.

Brain scans tell a more mixed story. A 2018 study found that cannabis high in THC made people want music more, but dulled the brain’s pleasure response to it. Cannabis with CBD added did not. If music is the point, try a balanced THC and CBD product and start low.

How to use this playlist

The list runs about three and a half hours and works best straight through. Use headphones for the instrumental set, and keep cannabis products away from cold windows and heater vents.

Set one: first drops and first flakes

Quiet, mostly acoustic songs for the first hour, when the weather is still new and the kettle is on. Bon Iver’s “Holocene”, recorded in rural Wisconsin, sounds the way a cold, quiet morning feels.

1. Bon Iver, “Holocene” (2011)
2. Phoebe Bridgers, “Garden Song” (2020)
3. Big Thief, “Simulation Swarm” (2022)
4. Novo Amor, “Anchor” (2015)
5. The Paper Kites, “Bloom” (2011)
6. Feist, “Mushaboom” (2004)
7. Leif Vollebekk, “Elegy” (2017)
8. José González, “Heartbeats” (2003)
9. Iron & Wine, “Naked As We Came” (2004)
10. Adrianne Lenker, “anything” (2020)

Set two: grey sky soul

Slow R&B and soul with warm bass lines. Toronto’s Daniel Caesar opens the set, and Sade and Erykah Badu hold down the older end of it.

11. Daniel Caesar, “Get You” featuring Kali Uchis (2016)
12. Frank Ocean, “Pink + White” (2016) 13. Steve Lacy, “Dark Red” (2017)
14. Tom Misch, “South of the River” (2018)
15. Khruangbin and Leon Bridges, “Texas Sun” (2020)
16. Sade, “No Ordinary Love” (1992)
17. Erykah Badu, “On & On” (1997)
18. Snoh Aalegra, “I Want You Around” (2019)
19. Rex Orange County, “Loving Is Easy” (2017)
20. SZA, “Good Days” (2020)

Set three: lo-fi and instrumental Mostly wordless music for reading, sketching or letting your mind drift. Nujabes and J Dilla laid much of the groundwork for the lo-fi beats that fill study playlists today, and Toronto’s BadBadNotGood carries that thread forward.

21. Nujabes, “Aruarian Dance” (2004)
22. J Dilla, “Last Donut of the Night” (2006)
23. BadBadNotGood, “Time Moves Slow” featuring Sam Herring (2016)
24. Bonobo, “Cirrus” (2013) 25. Tycho, “Awake” (2014) 26. Nils Frahm, “Says” (2013)
27. Max Richter, “On the Nature of Daylight” (2004)
28. Boards of Canada, “Dayvan Cowboy” (2005)
29. Mac DeMarco, “Chamber of Reflection” (2014)
30. Men I Trust, “Show Me How” (2018)

Set four: deep in the couch

The longest, slowest part of the afternoon. Hazy guitars, big reverb and a few songs that take their time getting where they are going. Tame Impala’s “Let It Happen” runs nearly eight minutes, which is the point.

31. Tame Impala, “Let It Happen” (2015)
32. Pink Floyd, “Breathe” (1973)
33. Beach House, “Space Song” (2015)
34. Mazzy Star, “Fade Into You” (1993)
35. Radiohead, “Reckoner” (2007) 36. Kurt Vile, “Pretty Pimpin” (2015)
37. The War on Drugs, “Under the Pressure” (2014)
38. Cigarettes After Sex, “Apocalypse” (2017)
39. Alvvays, “Archie, Marry Me” (2014)
40. Unknown Mortal Orchestra, “Multi-Love” (2015)

Set five: the weather breaks

Warmer songs for the last hour, as the light changes and the rain eases or the snow stops. Bob Marley and Chronixx bring the reggae thread from the older songbook into the present, and Canadian writers Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Dan Mangan and The Weather Station close it out alongside Nick Drake. Mitchell’s “River”, a song about wishing for a frozen river to skate away on, may be the most Canadian winter song ever written.

41. Bob Marley & The Wailers, “Sun Is Shining” (1978)
42. Chronixx, “Skankin’ Sweet” (2014)
43. Leon Bridges, “Coming Home” (2015)
44. Neil Young, “Harvest Moon” (1992)
45. Joni Mitchell, “River” (1971)
46. Dan Mangan, “Robots” (2009)
47. Gregory Alan Isakov, “Big Black Car” (2013)
48. Kacey Musgraves, “Slow Burn” (2018)
49. The Weather Station, “Robber” (2021)
50. Nick Drake, “Pink Moon” (1972)

Make it your own

A playlist like this is a starting point. Swap in the songs that make your own rainy or snowed-in afternoons feel right, and drop the ones that do not. Keep the shape, though: start quiet, settle in, and leave room at the end for something a little brighter. When the weather clears, save the list. There will be another grey afternoon soon enough.
