I found a large bone in the fields nearby, and am cleaning it in the tub. This and the bat I found which is in the freezer is abnormal according to my housemates, so I guess it's an ASD moment... (I asked their permission first after last year's Fox-carcass-incident)

I talk its a low monotonous voice combined with the tendency to have a delay when asked a question. So yes I sound stoned and I take a nurosuppressant that makes my eyes shinny. so I look the part I've gotten pulled over just to have the field sobriety test done.
Add to this I have to eat all the time what would you assume. :drunken:

Are you on crack?


no i am not, pink floyd lots of lsd, beatles, lots of lsd, the doors lsd and coke, rolling stones, lsd and coke, pretty much any great band all did drugs. nirvana, heroin, any metal band from the 80s, coke and or meth and or heroin, bob dylan, lots of lsd and pot, willie nelson, lots of pot and probably dabble in other stuff,

(they all pretty much did pot up there im sure)

justin bieber, sober. hana montana, sober in tell recently,

the facts speak for it self drugs = better music.


Pffft look at the mortality rate in the people you name. Drugs killed them. Kinda hard to be a good musician and dead at the same time. Many musicians use(d) drugs to cope with the lifestyle, not because drugs enhance their music. On top of that not everyone shares your taste in music. There are, and always have been, good musicians that didn't touch drugs.

The one thing I agree with you on is that facts speak for themselves. Start using them.


yes cause the life style of alot of money and all the sex you can get is horrible, and your doing the job you love, another pluss side all the drugs you can do. they did not do drugs to cope with life(im sure some did and found out being depressed on drugs is a great source of music, look at nirvana as a great example), they did drugs cause they liked it. thats right, people do drugs cause they like drugs ;p. pluss the lsd crowd is doing fine, its all the heroin addicts that died early, lesson do more lsd less heroin. i should note lsd is non addictive, and can not kill you, unless your one of the few you thought they could fly and decided to skip the test run on land and jump out of a building, but that's only happen a few times since lsd bin around. im not condoning drugs for the general population, im just saying if you want to be an artist, do more drugs. only drugs i do is pot, and only drugs i ever done is pot showrooms and alcohol, my parents were drug addicts, i know first hand the destructive force of heroin and meth. but not all drugs are bad, like pot shrooms and lsd. plus i like lsd inspired music alot more than herion coke and meth inspired music.

also people bin doing drugs since the beginning of recorded history, and prior to it, you have pot seeds in ancient burial so they can grow them selfs a crop in the next life. stay away from the artificial drugs, like alcohol meth heroin coke, and to a less extent lsd. and i bet any artist you thought was good who you think was sober wasn't sober, that or you have bad taste in music.


OK. I think I'll just let you focus on getting back your grip on reality. Good luck :)


my grip on reality is fine. what have i said that is not true, other than drugs makes better music which is a matter of opinion. just cause your generation has bin taught all drugs are evil and have no redeeming value doesn't make it so. unless its given to you by a legal drug dealer.

Sure, I'm regularly told that I look stoned, thanks to my half open eyes, scatterbrainness, absent-mind and slurred speech

It's great to know I'm not the only one here! I've been accused of using drugs (something I am utterly opposed to - I refuse to even take a Tylenol) by teachers, (and even a few professors)principals, and other students. Every yearbook picture of me makes me look like I'm stoned as well. It's just the way my eyes look. The fact that I look like I'm in my own little world, lost in thought, adds to the problems.

I don't listen to popular music (yes, Pink Floyd is considered to be popular due in large part to crappy mainstream/poseur stores like Hot Topic and Spencer's where kids who don't even know any of the band's music can get their shirts to look cool to their peers). For me it's only industrial or EBM and most of those musicians do not use drugs (aside from cigarettes and alcohol). I couldn't care less what others do with their bodies, it doesn't impact me. "Good music" is merely a matter of opinion: what you think is "good" is not what some other person would consider "good."

Once when police spoke to me in the street and it made me too frightened to respond to them in any way, they did think I was stoned yes.

Well, quality not quantity....sure maybe some of them would have lived longer without drugs, but then the music might not exist. Also I doubt you can speak for all musicians who use drugs maybe for them it does enhance the music, or they are self medicating or both. Also sometimes hearing music on drugs is interesting.

You're mistaking if you think Pink Floyd is actually considered a 'popular' band by this generation...It's a popular band because they where around so long playing great music they built up a large fan base. Then of course there are the kids who just think it's cool that 'OMG their first lead singer went insane.' or stuff like that.

Also I am not sure I'd state that most industrial or EBM artists only use cigarettes and alcohol...I mean realistically how would you even know. Not to mention cigarettes and alcohol are worse for ones health than cannabis according various studies.

Explain to me why all these 12 to 20-year-olds are so interested in buying the shirts and other merchandise when they do not even know the music (aside from one or two songs)? I know about many of the artists' habits since I have been good friends with much of them. A few have used drugs (Bryan Erickson and Benoit XVI are the most notable).

Well 12 to 20 is a pretty large age range....and some people of those ages do like Pink Floyd, But they certainly are not considered part of today's popular music I feel like the popularity they have comes from quality of the music and having built up a fan base. Also I don't doubt some musicians in those genres only drink and smoke cigs. I mean not only are there lots of musicians who play such music so there is no way to know what they all do, but just the obvious nature of a lot of EBM and Industrial music and some of the lyrics do indicate quite a bit more than alcohol and cigarette use at least what I've heard.

I usually never get mistaken for a stoner. Only once when I was reaally tired, and hyper. I'm like the biggest sheltered nerd, and express that to everyone who talks to me. But I was surprised today when someone thought that I smoke and said that I "look like the kind of person who would have a tattoo". :? Not that I mind, I have nothing against people who do

I don't really know, I only have bought shirts of bands I like not bands I don't know of...so I am not sure why. But yeah I am just saying I have heard lots of industrial/ebm type music with lyrics about all kinds of different drugs so I think just like any genre some use drugs and some don't...though alcohol and cigarettes and even caffeine are drugs to. Though for me the most important thing about music is how good it sounds and how it makes me feel I don't really care if the artists use drugs or not that is their choice to make.

Yes, a lot of people think I'm stoned. Many people openly asked do I smoke anything. Especially the extroverted social butterflies, they are quite tactless and repeat that I look like a stoner every 30 minutes. I once managed to get brave enough to go to chatroulette (didn't really talk to anybody though) and some girl saw me and said wow, you look angry.
