Drugs and Rock Stars

[The Vej]

Do you think drugs actually help rock stars to be more creative? It seems to me rock stars do drugs later in their careers because they think they can be more creative. I think they just use it as an excuse because they start to suck and run out of material and need to deal with it so they turn to drugs. They want to stay on that high forever and this just doesn't happen to too many people. I say this because I had a rock show yesterday and the other bands that were there had drugs and they smoked. Of course these are crappy bands you never heard of but they got that idea from somewhere. Now with raw food I believe you have a constant good feeling. With drugs I think you probably get higher but then you come back down and it just doesn't seem worth it. I guess what I'm asking is why. Why would anybody think drugs are a good thing? History has never proven that drugs are beneficial in the long run. Sure the Beatles did drugs and made some cool songs but the drugs eventually ruined them. Alice in Chains could have been huge then their lead singer died from a drug "overdose". This is just dumb. I read on a different raw board that people went raw and still did weed. That ??s the stupidest thing I ??ve ever heard. How could that be healthy at all? Sometimes I wonder what people think raw food is supposed to do for them.

I used to be a "pothead" when I was in my twenties. For a number of years I was a marijuana chain smoker and I always heard that idea that maybe you can be more creative but I don't really think so. However, just smoking it initially or maybe even once in a Blue Moon it might help a person look at things a little differently.

Something VERY interesting that I came across recently is Cathy O'Brien, who used to be a totally programmed mind control slave (she authored two books with her husband Mark Phillips about it and unfortunately I truly believe they are not fiction -- ACCESS DENIED and TRANCE FORMATION OF AMERICA) and in one of the books as well as at a seminar I saw where they spoke she said that people who are trying to control people by programming their minds (using trauma and even with electronics apparently) make SURE that their subjects (victims) never smoke marijuana because doing so opens up some of the neuron pathways that they have been trying to close off for the purpose of mind control. You see, they basically cause people to have MPD or DID -- disorders of compartmentalizing the personality -- and opening up the neuron pathways could cause people to start remembering things they are not supposed to remember.

Unfortunately there are two very BIG drawbacks to smoking the stuff: (1) unless you grow it yourself you don't know where it's been and it could have been dipped in PCP or other very dangerous mind-altering drugs -- and this DOES happen; and (2) my experience with smoking it was that it made me feel paranoid. I'm paranoid enough just for reasons that I SHOULD be, and the last thing I want is drug-induced paranoia.

But yeah, I think if it is really clean and not treated with anything, it's probably not a bad idea to smoke it once in a while if it were legal. Maybe go to a place where it is legal, have a little bit, then come home.
