As for raves, my experience is this: the music doesn't really match up to the intense, soul-deep, cosmically-profound euphoria you experience on a typical rave drug like MDMA (or analogues like 6-APB). For some music that would match up to the effects, again in my experience, would be something like John Coltrane's Interstellar Space, which synergises and takes one even further out. I won't go on about this too much because I've already said too much on the forum about this before, but there are pieces and composers - such as Debussy and some early works of Tristan Murail - that go well with smoking potent weed, what with the time-dilation etc. Unfortunately, I consider my drug-experiences to have been effectively curtailed by the necessity some time ago of taking anti-psychotics, which means I have only had 'pure' experiences with cannabis and the aforementioned stimulants, so I don't know what what a 'true' psychedelic trip is like because anti-psychotics heavily mute a psychedelic experiences (and I know this from trying over and over again... stupidly). In any case my go-to for music while under the influence was 90% of the time jazz.
