I've never tried a weed but I don't expect this to make my brain care about music any more than I expect it to make me see new colors.
It's not that I don't enjoy life, I really do, it's just that I really don't care for music. I can recognize it (and even perform it), but it just adds no value. Hearing people talk about music is a bit like listening to a food snob describe how much better the french fries cooked in one type of oil are than the other when I can't even tell them apart. If I didn't know better I'd suspect they were just making it all up.
My preferences in music are similarly strange, when people make me answer that question I feel a bit like how someone with no sense of smell would respond when asked to describe their favorite scented candle. I don't really listen to music in my spare time at all, it's just not a thing I do. I never spent any time in my teenage years locked up in my room playing tunes. I never invited anyone over to chill out and listen to music together. I listen to podcasts when driving or excercising.
If you looked through my "collection" or youtube history for music you'd find a bunch of things that aren't actually enjoyed for their musical properties -- funny videos, comedy songs, parody music, etc. Music can still invoke emotion in me through other means -- maybe I'll have a contextual memory about that particular song -- but if I've never heard it before odds are I'll be completely indifferent. The lyrics themselves can be poetry (quite literally, since the music isn't doing anything), but I'm not the kind of person who enjoys reading poetry or listening to spoken word performances either.
One time I had a friend list the three best things in life as "Food, Sex, and Music" and I literally thought he was making a joke along the lines of "Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking".

its just laziness/budget issues on the bands part cause zappa figured out some black magic in the 70s to make live albums sound like perfect studio sessions
