Subject: My Weed Problem
Original Message Date: 28-Mar-03 @ 03:32 PM - My Weed Problem
While I watch the TV, I say to myself "I gotta give up the weed". I say "I don't need weed to make tracks. I'm gonna give up and have my last puff this Sunday".
I go to work and get excited about the fact I'm gonna give up weed 'this sunday'. I go into the studio during the week and smoke 'my last quarter' and just mess about on the computer 'getting things ready' for my new life being weed free and actually making some bloody music.
So, it gets to Sunday and I have my 'last big puff' and go through all 'the routines of my last day puffing'. It gets to Sunday night and I pack my 'last' joint with a ten draw cos its my last puff, I'm going to really make an effort 'this time'. I smoke my last joint and go into my studio and stick on Massive Attack "protection", cos that's the right music to listen to whilst having my 'last smoke'. I go to bed and feel excited.
I get up on Monday morning and feel fine. I finish work and rush home to get into the studio all sober. I switch on the PC, load up some drums and say "jesus man, I could really fancy a puff" and "I can't be creative without some weed".
About 7'oclock Monday night, I ring my dealer and get in the car, park on his dodgy estate and buy some weed. I rush home, skin up, last about 20 mins and then turn on the TV.
And so the cycle continues.
D'you think I should just give up music making, resign myself to the fact that this is all just some dream and I ain't never gonna make shit..?

routine- like just f*cking around and have sum
fun w/ fruity loops if u usually use cubase, or
collaborating with someone if u usually work
alone. Probably best if you collaborate w/ a
non-weed smoker ;-) i dunno...i'm just
brainstorming over here.
Get rid of your tv?

I'm skinning up now mind you.... After the break I've managed to wean myself down to a couple at the weekend. Sorted. Enough for a bit of a vibe but so monged I sit here for ages just listening to tunes.
Goodluck dude, try and find a happy medium. Its taken me ten years and I dont know if I'll stick to it but the tunes are coming right on.

Motivation is strongly tied to neurochemistry.
My advice, excercise and eat right. Just go for a long walk everyday. You might try taking some St. John's Wort. Its an herb that helps depression and anxiety. You can be very depressed and not feel sad at all. It may just manifest its self as feeling lethargic, an inability to make decisions, and procrastination. Try to avoid a lot of sugar and junk food. Eat lots of raw vegetables and adequate protein. I don't object to people using any drug they choose but I found that for myself that they just burn me out more.
Good luck
Good luck.

you're like the ass fucking president of the world... you can't make concrete statements that aren't true, so you make these wishy washy false statements of falsehood to reinforce your paranoid belief system... "oh please tell me it's true, it's so comfortable.."
