Post by: Elizabeth Rose on June 13, 2005, 03:14:47 pm: Drugs have created some amazing stuff, but I think it was the drugs, not the musician. You knew that though.

Post by: Gideon Brown on June 13, 2005, 03:52:49 pm: I think some of the kewlest songs have been created while the musician is on drugs. Drugs amplify sensations, which in the end, amplify your writing and musical ability. I, personally, am not hardcore against drugs, as I myself have tried some, so I see no problem in musicians doing them. The problem is that because they are in the spotlight they are the ones to be noticed doing drugs, and not the regular business man.

Post by: IZ on June 16, 2005, 08:24:48 am: I want to say drugs did help a lot of musicians, but you look at Tom Morello (non-drugs) to Kurt Cobain (drugs)...

Hmm...

Suuuurrrrre. :rolleyes:

Drugs have made some good music. I don't like it that they did, but most bands I listen to have probably done drugs.

Post by: Rocko on June 16, 2005, 08:27:27 pm: Drugs and musicians if you look allot of them where on drugs sometime in there life. The Beatles where on LSD later on in their career. Jimi Hendrix was on drugs, and his music was drug infulunenced but sadly it's what also killed him.

Post by: Banana on June 16, 2005, 08:29:36 pm: A lot of drug influenced music sounds good, and I think The Beatles got better when they went on LSD. However I do not support taking drugs, I just think druged up music sounds cool.

The only drug that should be completley legal is Marajauna. When clean, and in a pure form. Having marajauna illigal is like having smoking illigal it is fact that nobody has ever died of a marajauna overdose.. For all the other drugs, those things mess you up big time.

Post by: Gideon Brown on June 19, 2005, 06:56:59 pm: I know this...considering I was royally peeved at Martin making it illegal again. I've been around the blocks a few times, you know. Err....I mean...I've never tried marijuana in my life.

I do not understand why marijuana is ilegal. Compared to cigarettes, marijuana is so much better for you! Heck, my DARE instructor in High School said this! Mariguana (in its pure form) is not in the least addictive. Smoking is. That alone makes it much better. Alchohol also causes something close to 50% of the accidents in the U.S. Marijuana has not caused ANY in Connecticut (I do not know about other states). Why is alchohol legal and marijuana not? Who knows...

Getting on topic, one of my favorite bands, Tool, supposidly does not do drugs. And Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor just got cleaned up for his newest album and I very much like the work.

Cannabis (marijuana), was made illegal for politcal reasons. The biggest problem with Cannabis in the 40's was not marijuana but hemp. Hemp was taking away from cotton sales so the cotton lobby had Cannabis banned. But marijuana if pure is not bad for you. And is believed to help cancer, it is beleived to get rid of pain, and protect the nervous system. And it was once legal before the 40's.

I know some people at my school who do marijuana and they could not care less about where or who they get it from. I do not have any interest in marijuana, but for the sake of some of my friends, I wish there was an easy was to get it pure. Some of the common additives today are very dangerouse and unhealthy.

I don't think the real lives of musicians should influence whether or not people should listen to them. It's all about the music.
