Outdoor concenters and music festivals are great in the summer! Marijuana can make even more magical!

Summer is the time for outdoor music. Labor Day weekend will see Bumbershoot in Seattle, Caveman in Colorado, the Detroit Jazz and more. Being outside and soaking up the sun, tunes and vibes just feel right. And to enhance the experience, you can even take it to the next step. Here are the best marijuana strains for summer concerts and festivals.

Marijuana taps into our minds to positively influence how we perceive things, including music. Marijuana accesses a neurotransmitter system, the endocannabinoid system, which regulates appetite, pain, mood and memory. The way the plant activates this system explains a lot of the unique effects it has on music listening. Some of these influences, like changes in the endocannaboid system, may be imperceptible at the time, but can change the way we feel when we experience sounds.
