Let me be blunt... Who on here uses drugs, esp in the relation to listening to prog? I know it is often said that the genre is a haven for those who are stoned/tripping etc. and I also know that the music is pretty damn good whether your on em or not, but nonetheless, does anyone here recreationally use the things?

You should have posted this in the discussions not related to music
area. I think that there are already similar threads there
too. I could be wrong though,

Fair play, I'm ahppy to see it moved if that's the case, I'm sorry I was trying to relate to prog to a degree, I suppose I kinda meant that does anybody on here take drugs with the purpose of making the music more... alive (I don't really know what word to use!!)

Ok I understand, sorry if I offended you or something.

I'm a regular weed user, practically every day. It's my way of life and
frankly its something to do in this sh*t town i live in.. I dont
associate it with prog, but it certainly makes the experience more
interesting.. 
As for people who choose not to use it, its all up to you. It's your
body and ultimately you choose what you put in it. I choose to smoke
pot daily, and thats my choice. One thing that annoys me to no end is
people who try to put you down or make you feel like a lesser person
because you smoke pot, because its simply not true. Some of the coolest
people ive ever met are potheads.

I've never done drugs, nor do I feel a need to try them. My mind's demented enough as it is.
Most non-prog people I meet think I'm a pot head though; with my long hair and my collection of very interesting music.

People usually associate jams bands with drugs. My favorite band is Phish, and I've never done drugs.
Frank Zappa never did drugs, and he made some of the craziest music ever.

I dont do drugs, but I am often mistaken for a stoner due to my pink floyd t-sh*ts (see other posts for the whole story...)
I do have stoner friends, though, and I like to give them suggestions
of what to listen to, as of course I have a far superior taste in music  .

Yeah, no one in Jethro Tull took drugs either.
I have never taken drugs and never will.

Moderation is key.
I however have never used any drugs. I don't really plan on it either, but i DO want to TRY acid before i die.
I'll be a 70 year old man, taking my first hit of acid, and i'll imagine that my rocking chair is trying to eat me. whoa.

Me too! I can see other people's reasons to do it, but they just don't apply to me!

ive experimented in alot of stuff but when i was younger. may dabble with some exceptions.im scottish and to eat magic mushrooms back home as far as i know is legal untill you prepare them in some way but even in they days and even still now i think the easiest and trippy way i listen to prog is when im sleepy and dozing in that semi concious way when what you're listening to really effects your head
