Am I the Only one?

A curious boy I am.... I was wondering if ya'll rely on alternative resources to help to understand or figure out a rythym. See whenever I learn a new song I smoke a few bongs and it seems to help me get focused on the music. Its been this way for the past 7 years. I wonder if I will be able to still play guitar if I stop smoking pot?

I dunno man, I cant really smoke and play. Not shit that requires any skill, anyway. I can sit and strum rythm chords for days. But I'm not one of those people that functions well under the influence...I know a lot of people can though. For me, its much easier to get stuff down sober.

I'm like you, I can't play high. That doesn't stop me from doing either though 8)

IM the Director of the GIS/Database department for a small Civil Engineering firm here in VA Beach.

Make 42,000$ w/ bonus (45,000 -It is a lot of money for me)

IM getting there with those clips. Anything in particular? I might have to make them on my laptop. Which means they will come out horrible. My roommate is a teacher and going for his masters right now. He is constantly is on his computer. Its hard for me to ask him to give up his work. Or I can give you some of the live stuff (Dave covers) that I've done. Need to check my other hard drive for those.

As for your opinion on drugs. I respect it and Im sure theres plenty of people on here that would agree with you. But in my opinion Marijauna is much safer & healthier than drinking alcohol.

Neither are good, but marijuana has a larger effect on the mind than alcohol....drinking to access is bad too though...........the difference is, is that you can drink a beer and it wont affect you as much, because when you smoke, you are always trying to get that "release" from boredom or life's problems...and then you rely on it.....otherwise, you will go back to being depressed or whatever the reason you smoked it was.....

as for the clips...you said that you can play DMB spot on, so I want to hear it....I dunno, play me some So Much To Say or Jimi thing or warehouse...

Better check your facts before you start off with a comment like that. There was a study listed in the New England Journal of Medicine sometime around 95 that compared pot heads and alcoholics. The pot heads that they used for the study were Rastafarian from Jamaica that had been smoking pot for over 20 years. The pot heads only had lung tissue damage while the alcoholics had brain damage.

You really think pot affects your mind that bad? I think that alcohol is a much bigger enemy to our society. Pot might make you lazy, but alcohol makes you violent. How many stories have you heard about the pot head that beat his kids vs. the alcoholic that did? Have you ever smoked pot? Do you happen to be from a quasi-socialist country that has convinced you of how "terrible" it is? Pot does not affect your judgment like alcohol does in any capacity. When is the last time you saw a headline that read "Man crashes his car and kills 5 after smoking joint."

Next thing you will try and do is convince me that Saddam is not a bad person and he should not be removed from power.

Best of all,.... I don't even smoke pot. But I am smart enough to research the subject before I open my pie-hole.

Bah, Drugs are bad... I agree w/ Jason.

Edit: Err, by drugs... I also mean tabacco + alcohol... So I guess I agree w/ you too skiz, just didn't realize it til I read tico's post. :lol:

well said skiz. i don't smoke either, but in the quantities in which they are consumed normally, tobacco and alcohol are much more damaging to the human body.

people have said on this thread that drugs are bad. how is alcohol or tobacco not a drug? the government has done a great job convincing the public that only drugs sanctioned by the government are ok, but everything else is bad. the truth is, i think it's ludacris that marijuana is not legalized, at least for medicinal purposes in the US. i think it needs to be legalized for both medicinal and recreational purposes as the amount of money we spend on a useless drug war is amazing. we do very little to limit the trafficking of marijuana into the US, and yet we spend billions of dollars fighting to keep it out of our country every year. if it were legalized, there would be no risk involved in production, prices would bottom out with the sudden increase in supply, and all violence surrounding the trade of marijuana would dissapear.

some people argue against the legalization saying that it is a gateway drug and that consumption would increase dramatically if it were legalized. the truth of the matter is that it's as easy to buy marijuana as it is to get alcohol underage. if you want it, you can get it, and cost is usually not prohibitive. i know lots of people that smoke marijuana and have no desire to try anything else. i don't think i know anyone who would definitly try it if it were legalized but who abstain from it now.

Tico & skiisalot, you can hang with me anytime. I didn't feel like going into detail on how I can crush him in that argument. But you guys did. Thanks..

i recently read an article on hightimes.com.. i believe it said something that some of the oils people used to anoint jesus with had some hemp oil in it... since it is hightimes, i wouldn't consider it 100% reliable.. but they had a very good story to go along with it, and it was pretty convincing... somethin about a plant mentioned in the bible which people think is the modern day marijuana plant? i don't know.. u just might go to hightimes.com and check it out for yourself

what youre referring to is the now accepted translation of a word in the recipe for the original anointing oil- the word "kaneh bosm" (for some reason that spelling doesnt look right but if its wrong thats close) was originally mis-translated as calamus, but recent research shows that kaneh bosm = flowering cannabis tops... since the recipe called for something like 9 pounds of buds in a few liters of oil, thats some damn potent hash oil

and john ashcroft uses crisco, lol... they also used cannabis as incense back in those times, and they would have prayer rooms that were literally clouded with the stuff... something to think about...

sorry man, gotta call you on this one- i am a regular smoker... I can function totally normally while smoking, but drinking on the other hand...

i find that alcohol is a much more powerful drug than pot, and a night of pot binging just makes you tired in the morning, whereas a night of alcohol binging leads to a day over the toilet.. This post is already long enough so i'll stop there, i can go on(at great extent

) later, but back to the original topic of the post-

I find that i play the best when i'm pretty stoned, not so much that i would call myself wasted, but when i have a nice buzz on, and maybe a few beers on top of that... i dont know why, but i always end up playing my best at some party, when i'm totally loosened up and have a ton of energy and enthusiasm(not that i dont anyways). Too much and i lose my accuracy though... theres a fine line between the best playing and incomprehensible crap.

thats enough, time to smoke a bong :twisted:

peace[/i]
