Don't listen to this, do what you want and if it doesn't work for you don't do it again, learn from your own mistakes bro, what works for you may not work for others and vice versa

on a related note, how do people not understand the concept of not smoking that often. i swear to god at least once a week someone asks me if i smoke and i'll be like sometimes and they are like what the fuck does that mean m8. it means i smoke when my friends who smoke, smoke with me, but i don't buy it myself ffs. and they still don't understand. it's all or nothing in their world.

sorry captain ignorant probably becos it's an addiction, thats like saying why can't these people just do heroin once in a while not everyday, obviously heroins much worse but its the same principle

edit: i may have misread ur comment lol

lol ya think?

Yeah, I feel you on that bruv. I think weed fucks with your executive functions too much to make good decisions. Like it puts you in touch with the groove, and timbre, but then decision making goes to shit. Need to have all that going at the same time. If you continually use drugs to achieve mental states, you diminish your own ability to naturally achieve those mental states.

Cringing at the use of naturally, perhaps someone with a thesaurus can come up with a better word?

I think you are right in assuming it does that to a brain. And even that most people that do anything creatively have one of those. But artistically speaking, decision making is the mum and the creation is just a tiny infant with little ability.
So to be able to really take some chances with this baby and get it all different from the other babies and trusting that decision - getting high is probably a good idea.
Or - that the ability to make decisions relies so much on your ability to trust, that if you were to trust something more abstract - it could help being less restricted by emotion or sences. The 'talking to strangers drunk' analogy and so on.

If you continually use drugs to achieve mental states, you diminish your own ability to naturally achieve those mental states.

I don't think this is definitively true in all aspects relating to the mind. It's like the universe it's infinitely expanding (bro).

The downside with producing whilst high (on anything) is that you can spend 3hrs tuning a snare without realising it.

Happens to me on weekends... without weed
