yeah man, one helluva experience, but I think it makes you love everything, even 100 bars of just kick

But Then I saw something recently where Goldie was saying he di his whole 1st album completely caned on beans the whole time....and we all know what a watershed that album was....

yeah i saw that or similar where he was saying he was lying upside down off his face mixing it.inner city life is a true classic.

All I need is a nice, hot cup of tea to get me going.

For me, it's a blast through the forest on my mountain bike with my iPod cranked. I get my best ideas that way and come back focused and psyched up.

Besides being stimulated by yours surrounding your also getting a nice does of endorphins from the physical effort. Which are known to produce feelings of self esteme. I've recently started excersising after 28 years of being a lazy bastard and I feel great. I'm back on the smoke after stopping on the 9th August and christ do i feel stoned. Wrote 3 tracks (that are being released at the end of the month) in that period BUT i had to smoke last Wednesday to get out of a creative dedlock regarding my live set. I told myself i'd stop until December so i didn't smoke Wednesday without weighing it in my mind. What can i say it worked a trick, within two hours i had the whole thing crystalised in my mind, music and how it was going to done. I'm road testing tonight in Dublin, send me mindbeams of support

Since somebody mentioned having pints before playing I thought I start a poll to find out about the Barney Gumbals and Ned Flanders of Electronicacaca

Why does anyone want smoke when all does creative brain cells can be destroyed?

Think there's a correlation between drug/alcohol abuse, creativity, professionalism, and long-term health problems? Probably.

I stick with my original post. In my opinion, true creative talent and professionalism don't require mind-altering substances.

actually there are some studies out recently where certain canabinoids in rats actually stimulate growth of neurons.

Bjorn where are you? You have the URL.

You can say what you want about weed. I have read more books as a potsmoker. Then i did in sober periods.
I felt like a dumbass before i started smoking too. Now i'm just an intolerable smartass
I'm not saying that smoking pot will make you smarter.
But that you become a dumbass because of smoking pot.... Thats just plain silly...

In rats, who don't have many brain cells to start with.

Maybe there IS a human correlation...

actually it was reported this week that not only is pot an antidepressent, it also STIMULATES brain cell growth.

Any more scientific analysis?
