I can honestly say I have never smoked anything, or used any illegal substance. Ever. And I was a musician in a bar band too!
I saw what drug use did to all of my musical heroes in the 70's, and vowed never to touch the stuff.
You like hendrix?
Pretty sure he wasn't killed by anything illegal.
Any of your heroes die from too much ganja?
Clapton nearly killed himself from drug use, Jimmy Page's hands were so numbed up from heroin that he couldn't playing well for nearly 5 years after he kicked the habit (which was around the mid 80's), Morrison, Joplin, it's a big list.
Absolutely none of that is from cannabis.
Drugs are drugs. None of that was from crystal meth either, and I'm not going to be trying that anytime soon.
Oh my, yes. I hope you've the same attitude towards Alcohol, tobacco, coffee, hot sauce or driving fast, because "drugs are drugs" :roll:
If any of those stop me from being the most effective person that I can be, then yes, I am. Of your list:
alcohol - in large quantities, check
tobacco - check
coffee - hate the stuff, but harmless, not check
hot sauce - no ill effects, check
driving fast - dangerous to other people as well as myself- check
Don't care what you think, I'm not going to argue. Drugs suck, and people that use them do so because they don't know how to compensate for what they're missing in life.
I used to think like that, then I tried it for myself. Then I realized I was an idiotic douchebag for thinking so. I smoke maybe 4 or 5 times a year now, if that, from some moderate to heavy use back in the college days.
So...you're pretty wrong there. Plenty of people go into and out of it, some come out thinking the way they did before, some go into the deep end, some are able to balance their lives and explore new paths they never realized were there.
