As for narcotics boosting productivity, it could just be in the mind. Everybody who takes weed puts themselves in the mindset in thinking this will improve their productivity, maybe they just think it does? I haven't seen much legitimate, scientific confirmation from either side yet (saying this before I read Fbac's link there).

For the second time in this thread, and the fifteenth time in my head, weed is not narcotic.

True. Narcotic is a very commonly misused term. Technically, it only refers to opioid drugs but most people use it to refer to any illegal drug...

Yes it is. In legal terms it is. It's banned, therefore it is a narcotic.
"A narcotic (a word from Greek and Latin origin) is any drug that produces numbness or stupor. Marijuana's psychoactive drug is Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC."

Let the debate commence.

THC is a stimulant

Eh, depends. It can also be a hallucinogen. Some think depressant. It's in a category of its own.

Definitely a hallucinogen. On realllly potent headies I can get closed eye visuals and my imagination starts overloading. Imagination is the creative brush used to make music and art, which is why I think marijuana aids in producing (ha... aids). Synthesis construction is more of a science than an art, though. I agree with whoever said build your synths sober, use them high.

Your machine takes an hour to boot?

Naw, most everything is a flip of a switch, but my machine comes up alright, though I do have some kind of intermittent driver conflict happening that is causing my audio drivers to load extremely slowly, like 5 minutes. Drives me insane, but have not fixed it because I don't feel like wrestling with drivers for 5 hours.


But, unfortunately, it takes my brain an hour to boot up.

I don't eat nachos.

i think that a lot of drugs can impact your performance. i've tried producing when stoned, and end up twiddling knobs on synths for hours. if i drink alcohol i just lose interest and don't get anywhere. a line of a certain white powder makes me produce fairly quick, but the tune didn't sound so good the next day. i got adhd and am waiting for the doctors to give me some ritalin, so hopefully that'll help me focus, but for now the only thing i do is drink coffee.

Now this guy has the right idea here with the ritalin. I have been on adderall since i was in the 8th grade and let me tell you....i guarantee every single one of you would be WAY better and get WAAAY more done. it is like a miracle drug imo

The bold is so true, with all things not just production. Smoke until you feel your mind begin to gently cruise around and that's the best high IMO.

Also tostitos and salsa are a common occurrence in my studio.

everytime!

I dont tend to smoke as much as i used to anymore, so if i do production is the last thing on my mind.

all about caffeine!

i smoke bowls and drink coffee... part of my life, producing or not. I just like it...
The only thing that gets in my way when im trying to produce is allowing other people to be around. They say they don't mind, and won't distract me, but both are lies. They hate that I'm doing it, and will do anything to distract me.
Even tho i issue fair warning, that i need to work so don't come around if you want my attention.
About to go back to being a hermit in a hole.

I have not seen one person bring this up, cocaine very nice to put you in a chill ass fucking zone to work in and focus hard

riight?? I don't give a fuck who you saw today, i'm trying to decide how much resonance I need on this lead..

what annoys me even more is when they ASK me to make a beat, and then are fucking trying to talk to me the whole time.

Yeah like listening to Flying Lotus on mushrooms. All of it totally makes sense. Sober though, it's a bunch of chaos. Still good, but doesn't seem as logical as on psychedelics.

As for the gange you just have to get used to doing it. It's like having to relearn how to DJ while drunk. It's just a matter of consciously staying focused and keeping your overall goal in the back of your mind at all times. Write notes if you have to, just deliberately try to stay on track. Also smoking just barely enough to feel it. I find I do well when coming down too, although it's a bit demotivating to notice yourself coming down. That's why it's best to smoke small amounts, you can smoothly transition from stimulated creative phase to focused working stage without really noticing or feeling burnt out.
