Who needs drugs when you've got music?
I guess most people posting do not have good systems, if they need drugs to get involved with the music.I can rephrase:What systems? Drug systems? They're all bad pal.Pot is just a-bit of an exception. It's HERB by definition. 
Who needs drugs when you've got music?
Stereo?Consider it as a mild substitute, but would more prefer hearing and seeing it live no matter how great the equipment is. With presense of packed bowl of good weed indeed the effect is substantially stronger, mixing same with live music is e...
