Who needs drugs when you've got music?

I'd like to start off by saying that I'm not purposefully promoting drug usage, because drugs are bad, mmmkay kids. Okay, now I've got to tell you from many times of personal experience, a good pill of e will twist your hearing such that a crap stereo can sound better than a $300,000 mbl system, hands down. If you are alright with holes in your brain for the rest of your life, and possibly becoming a drooling vegatable, it's definately the way to go. If you do in fact like your brain, just aim for a better stereo :-)

P.S. Even though I don't smoke pot anymore and only drink a few beers occasionally, alcohol in large quantities is worse for your physical health than large quantities of pot.

Wolf, I do believe e eats away your brain. Doctors have done brain scans of people who have used e many times and the scans show tiny holes in the persons brain. Methylenedioxymethamphetamine, also known as mdma, molly, e etc. contains methampetamine which eats away your muscle tissue, enamel on your teeth, your bones, and yes your brain too in addition to making your hair fall out. Pot just makes you dumb, fat and lazy unless of course you get high then mountain bike 20 miles, run 5 and lift weights daily, which I did, in which case it only makes you dumb. Of course it's relative, so if your super smart to begin with, you may still be smarter than most of the totally sober people I work with :-)

Csontos, I suppose your right.
Wolf, I stand corrected. Huh, I guess e doesn't eat away your brain. Just messes up the receptors. Damn that DARE program...

I like this thread. It's giving us all a little deeper background about one another.
Just for the record, I have been moved to tears from music. If I didn't have that capacity, I know that stereo equipment wouldn't be so ridiculously important to me. Music touches my soul. Always has.

Csontos, I can relate, my friend. I've been smoking heavily since 16. I'm 34 now and have only been clean for about 5 months. I have a craving every once in awhile, and only by the grace of God was I ever able to stop in the first place. I agree with every word you said. I live here in Colorado where it's everywhere and relatively inexpensive. Many lives will be ruined because of it. It's pretty sad. I don't think you should take peoples choices or rights away, but I don't think pot is as harmless as most people would like to think it is. Sure, in moderation (once or twice a week) it may not be a big deal, but for many of us once or twice a week turns into once or twice a day before 10 a.m. for the rest of our lives. Being high of weed never added to my enjoyment of music or my stereo either. It's actually the opposite. Being sober and clear minded makes me enjoy the music, and so many other things that used to just go totally unnoticed.

Donjr, no need to apologize for your post. i'm sorry to hear about you and your wifes loss. My heart goes out to the both of you. I wish there was something else I could say to bring some sort of peace to your wife.
