Not too be a freak but has anyone noticed that alot of influential musicians,
were drug addicts. I'm not going to go on the long list of artists that were or
are drug addicts that made some good shit. But i just think its kinda funy.
Thats it.

i can see two reasons. Let's say that
these musicians were highly
"perceptive", that they had a vision.
That they felt things very strongly.
i think it's obvious they had to take
drugs to "flee" the mediocre world.
Other reason, more important : drugs
are supposed to enhance creativity
somehow... Not that you can create
when you're on somtehing, though...
And maybe too there's a huge pressure
on big sellers so they just lower
the pressure by taking drugs...

Drugs are bad. Nkay?

All I know about drugs is what I've learned from my daytime gig is as an HIV/AIDS case manager. I've worked with several people whose lives have been completely trashed through addiction.

Mmmm. Crankbugs.
Mmmm. Wound botulism.
Mmmm. HIV & HCV

Shall I go on?

The question is not about advocating
drugs use or not... it's more like
"Why the hell so many creative people
take drugs or took drugs ???" This
goes writers, painters, etc...
And it was the case even a century
ago...

Some even say the consumation of psychedelic plants, mushrooms, cacti, whatever is what made us become self-conscious and enabled us to move beyond the animal-like stage and evolve us into what we are today.

There are numerous drawings of mushrooms on ancient cavewalls...

Just found out this weekend that the guy who broke into my mates flat and nicked all his equipment is the same guy who's been stealing lots of expensive weighing machines from my work.. The same guy that grassed a load of his mates to the filth (they all got busted), the same guy that has just been let off community service (huh? when does this happen?).

The same guy that recently got into smack and is now definately a loser.. Used to be such a nice bloke as well....

A distinction should be made between drugs and plants. Drugs are synthesized and distilled to make their effect hundreds of time more powerful than you find in nature.

I think artists today are taking less drugs. The 60's and 70's were times of experimentation. They were everywhere, however not everyone inhaled

No profound wisdom here, I'd just like to say that I've created my best tracks using a minimum of superskunk.
I know about this drug, and it can be quite harmful, but if you (as I) use it, say 2-3 times a month, then it works.
Also, if you smoke too often you become tired, your brain only works at 1/4 of normal speed and you get quite grumpy.
So, I can recommend it, but only if used in a subtle way.
