 | It is in human nature to explore.  Just as some do dangerous things like climb mountains and sail uncharted seas of the
 Earth risking life, some of us feel the need to explore the
 uncharted territories of different states of mind.  Just
 because you don't find any benefit in drug use doesn't mean
 that nobody else can benefit.  It's not right to deny
 yourself of a serious curiosity.  It's simply a matter of
 the person.  I'm offended by who ever said drugs eat away
 your soul.  I've done my share of chemical ingestion and I'd
 like to think my soul is as vibrant as any.  Those who seem
 to let drugs eat away their soul, imo, are the ones who let
 drugs amplify the shit that was already there.  We are not
 so easily manipulated.  We all have shit and drug use a sure
 way to be forced to face the shit, and if your not ready to
 heal those issues they are going to become quite prominant
 in your life.

 | I should say that I have had higher moments in life experiencing live music without drugs than any of my drug
 experiences though.  Music is definitely key to getting
 high.  Sometimes when listening to music I feel like I'm
 drinking distilled essence of the artists soul, pure as it
 comes.

 | as a society we're all exposed to more drugs then we could ever possibly imagine, i.e.
 soda pop (look at the ingredients some time)
 aderol
 aspirin
 tylenol
 caffeine
 nicotine
 all the other crap that they put in tobbacco for "flavor" (i
 really should quit)
 all the hormones in all the meat you eat, and believe it or
 not:
 all the hormones in the vegetables you eat, all these things
 alter your body, mind, and whatever
 so the only advice i have to give, is don't do something
 just because it's legal
 and PLEASE don't do something just because it's illegal

 Well, as for the food things, you're REALLY grasping
 there... I guess I take hormones, then.
 
 And as for Aphex's drug induced music, which music IS that?
 How can you tell what tracks he did while on acid, etc...
 I'm sure the tracks he did while NOT fucked up in the head
 are a hell of a lot better.
 
 Drugs don't help these musicians, that's shit rumours that
 got out while the Beatles and others were experimenting with
 marijuana. It was the cool thing to do. In later interviews,
 Lennon always pointed out that the music the Beatles
 recorded while high was ''shite''. They'd think it was
 great, then go in the next day to listen to last night's
 work, and erase the drug induced shit. Even the CRAZIEST
 Beatles songs were done while NOT on drugs. They couldn't
 make tracks under the influence of chemicals.
 
 And of COURSE people think they're more creative when
 stoned/high/tripping/whatever... they're on DRUGS! They'll
 think anything. The walls are trying to eat me, there's a
 black hole in ground about to swallow me up, my music is
 good...

 | I believe Ophecks has a point. Most music made while on drugs is shit. However, bands like Grateful dead or Coil
 claim to have been influenced by their experiences while on
 acid. In fact, here's an excerpt from COIL's interview in
 WIRE, I think it explains a lot:
 PC: I'd have to say, though, for me there's no difference
 between chemically altered states, spiritual states and
 magic. Psychedelics specifically. . . it opens you up to
 something that objectively exists. Well, all experience is
 subjective, there is no other kind but the places that you
 go to with those drugs are just as real for you as. . .
 Croydon.
 
 JB: I mean these places have been accurately mapped by
 certain people including John Dee. Certain people can access
 these areas, like Amazonian shamen, Terrence McKenna,
 certain people. Some people using their 'maps' precisely
 will go to the same place and have comparable experiences -
 the equivalent of geographical regions. You go there and you
 see what is there.
 
 PC: Having said that I would also say that I think that
 taking those drugs in an environment where there are loud
 noises and bright lights and it's difficult to breathe is
 totally detrimental to the experience you have when you're
 on them. I mean we did go to a lot of raves but that's how
 we worked that out. I certainly wouldn't recommend that.

 | so, ophecks, having never done drugs you claim to be some kind of expert on the experience? if you have never done
 drugs, how can you tell what it feels like? i can't believe
 the narrow-mindedness of some of you -- just spouting out
 trite rubbish, ie "The walls are trying to eat me, there's a
 
 black hole in ground about to swallow me up, my music is
 good..." when jimi hendrix asks "are you experienced?" i
 believe your answer will be "no"

 ...now you may come back and say "look! some of them died
 because they took drugs!" well, so what if some overdosed
 (people overdose on things other than drugs constantly) -
 the beauty they created outlasts their physical mortality -
 we could all go at any time, and living life by the rules
 made up to pander to rich capitalists is just wrong... ganja
 was made illegal not because people were getting high but
 because hemp was cheaper than wood and rockefeller didn't
 want to lose money.
 
 some people have addictive personalities - some people like
 to self-destruct... it is normally the loud majority that
 get mistaken for the quiet minority.

 | well stated canerfold. just because drugs aren't for everyone, it doesn't mean
 nobody should do them.  i did my fair share of exploration;
 most of it was good, some of it was bad but i wouldn't trade
 any of those experiences for anything.  I know that my life
 is very different than it would have been. my life
 philosophy, and perspective has been positively effected by
 my experiences.
 just be careful and make sure you experiment in a safe place
 with safe people and take it slow.

 | I hear some good points here. This thread turned to be quite good after all.
 
 The problem with drugs in our society is social more than
 health. Where other cultures use different drugs for sacred/
 social/ ritual reasons, we have this stupid recreational use
 of drugs. That's a big part of the drugs problem.

 | Oh, by the way, I think Coltrane's best music was made after he stopped using heroin (after love supreme, that is), but
 that's just my opinion. He was such a spiritual searcher
 that drugs were just a small part of it.

 | yeah evol, i don't regret anything.  if i did i wouldn't be able move on.  every moment is a lesson and to regret a
 moment is to not progress.
 
 i agree that making music while on drugs is not usually a
 good thing, but a lot of music is inspired by drug
 experience and not necessarily made while high or whatever.
 
 example:  the beachboys.  you may think "pop crap" but
 that's only the stuff you hear on the radio.  like the
 beatles, they began making simple pop sounds.  the album
 "pet sounds" came out after what's his name began trying out
 the ganja and who knows if there was anything else involved,
 but its lush.  a huge step forward.  and one of their albums
 made the hmv top psychedelic albums, same one the features
 music has the right to children.  then again the drug
 experimentation is not necessarily the cause of the new
 direction in music and might just be a corolation.  trying
 out some new states of mind, some new forms of musical
 expression, and its all good!
