Are drugs and music a bad thing to mix? When i'm writing down my own music, i usally smoke a joint or 2 before playin, but i have alot of friends that are against it. The whole "using drugs to expand the mind" really does work. So what's so wrong with it? Sure alot of musicians met their end that way. Like Jim Morrison, Hendix, jon bonham, and others. As long as the drugs don't take over it's all good. I'd like ur input though. Is it a smart thing or is it a dumb thing? i want to hear about any drug induced musical moments that u people have had. Like getting so high that u didn't relize that ur finger tips were bleeding while u were shredin the best riff ever on ur fender or gibson. Times that u just sat there and played for hours on end because u were getting into the music. I wanna hear it. Well i'm looking forward to ur words people. Rock on!!

theres nothing wrong with using drugs while writing music. do what you want. dont let some other kid tell you not to.
on occasion i like to take shrooms and draw. its some good shit.

a lot of the time drugs take away the everyday annoyances that clutter the mind, letting you think openly.

You have one cocktail!, and suddenly your an a**hole.

A friend of mine back in FL plays a killer guitar. We would blaze after a paddling out for a sesh and he would jam out, and I would just sit there and watch with a blank stare mesmorized at the smooth, endless flow of stuff that was coming out of the amp. Next thing we know it was 45 minutes later and we weren't stoned anymore.

I think for this Bill Hicks said it best:

"You see, I think drugs have done some good things for us. I really do. And if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor. Go home tonight. Take all your albums, all your tapes and all your CDs and burn them. 'Cause you know what, the musicians that made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years … rrreal fucking high on drugs."

Really though I think everything in moderation. I would also point out that no one, musician or otherwise, has ever to my knowledge died from smoking pot. My person rule of thumb for drugs is that if you can dry it and smoke it it's all good. Pretty much keep it to weed and shrums. It's the other ones that kill ya.

I don't smoke anymore at all, but when i did and I was in a band, it was always fun to just "jam", but trying to recall written songs when stoned = bad idea.

Nope. I'm heading over to colonies.com!

listening to music on drugs is fine. but while singing, the cocktail of them all always made me forget the lyrics. and it was time for the beast to appear. do what U wanna do but dont let drugs ruin ur life.

yeah that was my problem. i got so into the drugs and the rock that it became my life. i've overdosed before. but the drugs helped me break on through. i've quit now though. i just smoke weed. that's all i need. i'm curently trying to get my guitar back aswell. i never forgot anything that had to do with music when i was high. i'd play for hours. but that's some good advice man. i just wish i wrote this post a year earlier lol. ROCK ON PEOPLEZ!!!!

i don't think drugs and music are a bad thing to mix but it does depend on who you're with, what drug you're on, what you're doing, and where you are. 
since you're talking about pot...a joint or two isn't bad but it isn't good either.
if you're friends are against something it doesn't mean you should stop.
it's just your opinion.
drugs may expand your mind but when you look back on your work make sure it's really you.
Hendrix was one of the greatest musicians ever and keep in mind that he didn't know music theory.
i'm not sure if you do but drugs don't help that lol.
but you're right as long as you know when to stop and shit like that you're fine.
look at Nikki Sixx and Slash...now i'm not sure if you read Guitar Hero or not but there's some articles about them that you should read.

well mdma, (otherwize know ans ecstacy) is a man made chemical drug, wich is known for endusing and euphoricising music, aswell as making u feel all loved up and rushing, i know i braught the conversation away from weed, but weed is a gd natural drug, nothing else 2 say about it.. its only mentally addictive, so depending wether ur weak minded or not, that will be the only affect of your "addiction" on weed smoking, but if u rlly want to av fun get some X in ur system and bosh out sum drum n bass, ive done nite performing wrecked on mdma, speed, and some other not as known drugs like ncpp n other pipresines (excuse my spellin btw lol) and it just keeps me going alllll nite, from like 10 pm till 7 am, if you havent all dazzled in the world of euphorics, hilucinagens, or just straight uppers, its alwase worth a try before u start thinking about the negatives (wich dont actually exsist, get the gud stuff, u wont recieve any bad effects).

chek my mix out too :P XD  tell me wot u think ppl, and rate n comment it on youtube :P hehe
