Classical music fans smoke the most dope

Lachlan Mackinnon, The Daily Record, 14th September 2006

DANCE music fans enjoy the most sex - but lovers of classical music are more likely to have smoked cannabis.

And opera-goers have probably tried magic mushrooms, according to a startling study into the link between music and drugs. It also showed that 37 per cent of rap fans had more than one sexual partner in the last five years.

But country music fans prefer to stand by their man ...or woman.

Just 1.5 per cent of them had more than one sex partner in the five years.

Psychologist Dr Adrian North quizzed 2500 people across the UK on their musical tastes and lifestyle for the study.

Rap and dance music fans were more likely to have tried arange of illegal drugs.

But about a quarter of the classical music and opera fans admitted to having tried cannabis.

Perhaps most surprisingly, 12 per cent of opera fans had tried magic mushrooms.

Dr North found rap fans were the least likely to be religious, least likely to recycle, least likely to demand alternative energy sources, least likely to favour higher taxes for better public services and least likely to support the National Health Service.

In addition, they were more likely to have broken the law.

More than one in two fans of dance and hip hop music had committed a criminal act, compared with just 18 per cent of fans of musicals.

Dr North also confirmed there was a class divide when it came to music.

Fans of classical and opera were more likely to be middle or upper class. They earned an average of £35,000 a year, while dance music fans earned only £23,311.

Classical music and opera fans were also more likely to have been educated to a higher level.

Seven per cent of opera fans had a PhD.

But not a single chart pop fan who took part in the study had one.

Dr North, from the University of Leicester, now wants to recruit 10,000 people across the globe in a bid to complete the "first worldwide picture of who likes what" via a website called musicaltastetest.com.

I was a classical musician in the US for many years. In every orchestra, there was always a certain group of us who would “step outside” at break time. I was fully versed in cannabis and mushrooms while still in college (1970’s) and from then on. It was part of the culture and I’m not surprised to hear it still is. Did that ruin my life? I went on to earn a master’s degree and a teaching credential and I’m doing just fine. : )

Have any of you ever LISTENED to classical music after toking up?  If not, then I suggest listening to Smetana’s “Moldau” or Khachaturian’s “Sabre Dance” while in an altered state… you’ll really, really get it.

I can’t believe this fact that classical music lovers smoke the most dope. Dance and rap lovers cant be categorized as people who would have had more than one sexual partner. That’s purely not ok.  Do you have any lively evidences that would stand in testimony to what you have told? If yes, can you please chare the same here in this blog itself?

Music and drugs are two different taste of an individual.  Do not link these two qualities through the statistical data.  The high extra income may induce the person to involve to use magic mushroom, not music.

Classical music lovers smoke the most dope, I can not believe it. Both the things are different from each other.

The article was interesting to read, though I don’t believe it is so… Many generations live classic music (come back to historic facts at http://www.picktorrent.com if you don’t know and forgot) and nothing strange ever happened. And now such facts are revealed )))

tactic is the one used by crackpot conspiracy theorists, so you might want to avoid it in the future. Unless you can propose some mechanism whereby smoking increases creative output, or facilitates learning and intuition, or anything at all, simply asking if there is a coincidence really just indicates you don’t really understand what the word means.
