me i smoked daily for 10 years and i aint mad yet plus about 5 other guys i know who started smokin round the same time i aint saying it wont fuck you up just dont smoke too much and if it does start messing with you, cut down or quit

so is it bad or is it interesting/fruitful.. this duality is doing my head in

thats what I'm sayin!

weed just has different effects on the person depending on their personality

some people get social and funny and other people just get antisocial

I dont and never have[aside from like three times]smoked "the pot"....but once upon a 6-7 years ago, i did tons of jib[meth, yes meth] and thats when I 1st started out and was learning shit..and it was beneficial then when ;learning,,cause id spend hours reading anything and everything in all media forms, gaining all the knowledge i could from other artists . about arrangement, mixdowns, waveforms and frequency ranges , synths(as anyone knows can be a pastime in itself) testing hardware and software, & the list goes on.......I made soooooo much simply because i was always wanting to apply what i was learning & test things i was learning. And Id work for literally days straight with no sleep only leaving for freezies & big cups.
So 4 possibly 5 yrs ago I quite jib...... and i found i could just jump right into writing with no pit stops(well theres always new things to learn BUT..you know what im saying).

But seriously now i could not imagine being high/jacked/bugged or any of it and writing a tune, cause i do indulge on VERY RARE occasions and oh man am I just confused by opening a program let alone useing it...

it'd be diffrent for everyone,,I find after busting a nut I get the most ideas and creative flow...

I dont remember typing that but i wish i did .sounds deep

yeah thats on me, I'll note any future fixes.

i mean go mad as in go mad. the people ive seen go wrong on weed i was surprised when they didnt end up sectioned. i'm deadly serious. obviously its not gonna happen to everyone, but this is the thing. people can say 'oh but ive been smoking every day for 10 years, im fine', maybe you have, that doesnt mean it isn't going to very badly harm some people.

take a random sample of 100 people, make them smoke skunk every day for a few years, and i guarantee you a good handful of them will lose the plot.

you can say 'oh if youre going weird then cut down, simple', but its not always as easy as that. what can happen is people get into a cycle of paranoia where they feel it will 'calm them down' or something to smoke more and more.

so smoke all the weed you want but just dont think that its harmless, because it is so, so far from that.

dude above me speaks the truth.

i've seen it happen to a good number of people, smoking every day can turn into smoking all day every day, and because there aren't any physical withdrawal symptoms, it can be really easy for some people to think it's harmless and get into that mindset of "yea i can quit anytime i want, but i sure as hell dont want to!"

sure, a lot of people can smoke in moderation and handle it, and then there's a lot of people who smoke entirely way too f'ing much. and dont think that hot smoke isn't trashing your lungs!

how many producers on here need to smoke up before they can sit down at the computer to make music? best done in moderation imo.

I used to smoke quite alot of weed.. But since I'm doing less pot these days, i'm feeling much more productive.. Still.. Producing when high is chilled

I used to smoke everyday and wouldnt even think about making a tune without a spliff or two at the ready........

Now a days its just a weekend thing, but I still enjoy getting mashed and writing a tune. It does help with concentration and vibing with the track.

BUT..... As a few on here have already said it does effect some people VERY VERY badly and turn them onto the mindset of "Ive got to have it, no matter what......." and that is addiction pure and simple and addiction is never a good thing.

So just remember moderation at all times and dont let it influence every part of your life.

not denying this at all but you could say the same about alcohol, or even world of warcraft.

everything in moderation imo. including moderation.

look man first off what u mean by mad? mental illness is a complicated subject for instance not wanting to mix with people is classed as a mental illness thinkin about sex too much is a mental illness, both things which i would call just a quirk in your personality
second thing is this, people who suffer from certain mental illness such as depression are more likely to turn to drugs and become drug dependent other social factors such as income, what job you have, where you live and a whole load of other shit can so call "turn you mad "
I aint recommending any one smokes a lot of weed too much of anything aint good for you all iam sayin is it sounds like everyone buys into the weed turns you mad shit without thinkin or lookin into it properly
now let me enjoy my rassclatt spliff in peace

one last thing .i do agree with you that can be addictive tho and the whole thing about it being linked to mental illness aint something i take lightly iam just sayin i havent seen any definite proof that its the sole cause of sending someone mad thats all
