Production + Narcotics

[VirtualMark]

I have not seen one person bring this up, cocaine very nice to put you in a chill ass fucking zone to work in and focus hard

i bought it up already

[Gurnumsbug]

Has anyone brought up LSD yet? I think that's the drug of choice
DISCLAIMER: I am in no way recommending the use of illegal substances...

[SunkLo]

I brought up mushrooms which is quite identical in many ways. Who cares if you're advocating illegal substances? You're not the CEO of a fortune 500 company or something. GO EAT ACID. There, I said it. The world would be a much better place if everyone did. It's a crime that's it's illegal, not that people use it. Gotta put that on a t-shirt or something.

Id buy one! ... makes me think of this.


...however the sober state would think this would happen sadly



...Seriously tho... i really think it would go... drop tab....start making music... okay okay.... start to come up.... suddenly realise "Why the fuck am i in here, trapped! Im a cat" then proceed to go do cat things in the neighbours yard... ive once tried to kill myself with a box of tissues because i thought the world was so crap... i soon then realised it was much nicer to rub them all over my face..

...Now then if u had a spotter,, who could point u in the right direction. That could be cool.
But the real success must be with some hardware (909) xD

Usually I snort like 4+ pounds of cocaine then go to work.

Really helps me crank some skrillex basszorz.

GO EAT ACID.

If I'm struggling getting anything down at all, bit of a smoke and some coffee usually solve the problem. Although I'd like to add that I tend to have to come back later to tidy everything up haha

[FluidMoShun]

I like DMT a bunch Your opinions?

[cmgoodman1226]

Nicotine and caffiene (or an energy drink) are about the only drugs I do.

[gen_]

The only thing that gets in my way when im trying to produce is allowing other people to be around. They say they don't mind, and won't distract me, but both are lies. They hate that I'm doing it, and will do anything to distract me.

80% of the friends I allow in my place (one bedroom flat that just happens to be shit) are artists of some sort, and love the fact i am doing something for them. They still can't STFU.

Truth is, I don't blame them, I tell em to f*ck off. Production is boring as hell to watch anyway so of course they won't shut up.

On a more related note, I smoke way too much. My production level depends on the bud and how much of it I've smoked.

I can smoke 3 zutes of yard weed before I'm too lazy to produce, but 3 hits of some potent cheese and I look at the screen of my PC, think 'fuck it' and go lie on the couch. I've tried to do a proper studio session while like this once, and the client did not get his moneys worth. The mix was unlistenable.

His fault for passing me his zute.

[Dystinkt]

Personally, its easier to take stuff and vibe out to music rather than make it. stood at the speaker with a fat one and having trolley snatcha drop big boss convinced me of this.

I had the chance to try it several months ago but didn't break through. It was pretty fun though.

[Ldizzy]

alcohol makes me a really dope but ghettolife pretending rapper...

thats all i have to say.

Only had it the once. It turned the entire room into a cartoon style layout (think Busta Rhymes - Gimme Some More video), lasted about 30s, then changed back to normal. Meh.

[AllNightDayDream]

Loved it. My kind of trip. Nothing to make a habit of, though, no point in that.

GO EAT ACID. There, I said it. The world would be a much better place if everyone did. It's a crime that's it's illegal, not that people use it. Gotta put that on a t-shirt or something.

Haha I don't know about that, acid is fun, but I think a lot of people would hate it and become bitter at the world. These fools don't know, theyre just squares that are too uptight to have fun. Not to mention certain people are at risk for schizophrenia or hppd from it.

Anyway... I produce on salvia. Not really. But I do produce a lot of saliva when im making music.

These days I stick to caffiene and nicotine. Nothing else did me a ny good music wise. Unfortunately im just not one of those people that can do drugs and get in the zone and magically make music, it seems to have the opposite effect on me.

haha i couldn't think of anything worse! and i tryed havin a bash at a track after a couple of tabs once, couldnt get into it at all and wondered off after about 5 mins.

i usually skin up a nice bif, bun half of it and leave it propped in the ash tray, fire up logic and get crackin, then when i feel ive made progress i sit back and enjoy the rest. its good cos your not to high to concentrate and you got a little reward for when you finish

I'm not a doctor, and I haven't even played one on TV, but in my opinion weed destroys your executive functions. People just tend to make shit decisions when stoned. There are A LOT of decisions to be made while producing. A couple of bad decisions equals a total dead end for a track.

But, as we all seem to know, weed can alert you to sounds and potential opportunities that you regularly would miss. IMO weed can be a part of your workflow if it only occupies a stage, or even several stages of your process.

Narcotics, as I'm becoming aware (have been taking some prescription pain relievers), don't interfere with your executive functions. They may cloud other aspects of your consciousness, but it seems the executive is still sitting at his desk. I find I am more conscious of groove (not the micro groove, weed is better for that, more the macro groove, how the song is grooving). But then I'm not taking a whole handful of painkillers, so I can't really say. I can barely feel them when I'm taking them.

Both of those drugs are hugely addictive, and I wouldn't encourage anybody to take either.

To those that have "artistic hangovers" what happens when you listen back to those stoney tracks while you are stoned on subsequent occasions? Does it still sound good, does everything sound good, or does it sound shit? I've heard some really inspired stuff from stoney minds, but often the work can only be accessed in that state. People that are successful in the stoney state seem to have a process to making their stuff, alleviating pressure on that missing executive, and just vibe successfully.

Now that's a blanket statement if I ever heard one! cannabis and addiction do NOT deserve to be in the same sentence. Also, have you ever heard of a pain contract?? It's a signed paper your doc presents to you for your chronic pain, it gives you the freedom to get your painkillers prescribed without having to go from doc to doc. Also, addiction is different from dependance. With addiction, one abuses, steals and lies to feed their addiction to get high, with dependance, one uses the meds to get from A-B, much like a wheelchair, but doesn;t abuse his meds or lie or cheat to get them. Please don't blanket the use of substances. Your statement surmises that one drug does this better than the other does this for this thing. This not only is incorrect but how would you know how cannabis or oxycodone influences my production? You don't , please refrain from making such statements.. Like you said you not a doc, but just the other day, BOTH of my docs suggested I use cannabis for my severe chronic pain , why, due to it's NON addiction characteristics.
