Apparently it gives you feel like insects are crawling under your skin and gives you suicidal thoughts. Perhaps not one of my most well thought out pranks, sorry mum.

Drugs are bad for you. In other words, they can cause chemical brain damage or other health issues. An example of chemical brain damage is meth causing permanent anhedonia. Anhedonia is when your brain is chemically imbalanced as such that you DO NOT FEEL PLEASURE for anything. It's like your pleasure center gets turned off. Do not take this lightly. Not feeling pleasure means not being able to enjoy ANYTHING!!!!
Anhedonia sucks bad. It has something to do with fucked up neurotransmitters or something. anyways, Meth can cause it so DONT FUCKING DO METH.

Pot is pretty mild, but even it can do things like trigger psychosis lasting weeks if you are genetically predisposed to it.

On another tip, I know a guy who is otherwise pretty healthy but he's a pot addict. And he's a very talented musician, but when he's high HE's FUCKING RETARDED... And he's a pain in the ass to be around. Pot completely messes up his personality and makes him look like a complete loser. He becomes apathetic and useless. I imagine if he ever shakes his pot addiction, his musical skills will soar back up to his true potential. Because when he's sober, he rocks like no other. But he's a pathetic loser when he's using.

Ask any doctor if drugs are bad for you and they will give you the facts.

Stay clean and in control. Don't catch yourself in the jedi mind trick which is drugs (and addiction).

Weed yes (although best to check what you've done whilst not stoned).

Did try to do some on a couple of lines of coke once and it was without doubt the most soulless shit I've ever come up with (see the 1980's for details on how bad this can get).

Can't remember wh said this, probably some beat writer but

Compose high- Edit sober
or
Compose sober- Edit High

Personally a toke gives me about 5 great ideas, 4 of which have vanished by the time I've executed the first one. Also a toke makes the process easy to get my head into and then makes me less productive, I think because I then focus on enjoying myself, like hearing the mix all the way through real loud 8 times, instead of powering on and finishing the fucker.

Also smoking effects people differently, people who smoke a LOT seem to treat it like coffee, and can get through the day on it. I smoke less and when I do it fucks me up

- less suitable for sustained work.

lol, the last time i tried to mix while on the mushies, i tried to change out the record that was still playing. we were all so fucked up that no one could even handle the tables. I called it "fishing for beats" (with the needle). seriously funny shit.

but over it...

I'm having a Laphroig and producing atm, does that count?

auan · Post by **auan** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 8:10 am

No, because Laphroig is shite. Get a Talisker or a Lagavulin.

you are very paranoid for someone that disapproves of smoking weed. you just chatted quite a lot of bullshit nonsense. HAHA!

all i will say is drugs are good if you control them.
if they control you, stop using them.

each to their own though. i don't judge crack heads or junkies or weed smokers or alcoholics just because of what drugs they prefer.

tobacco and alcohol do more damage and ruin more lives than the illegal ones
