It's truly one of the most beautiful things you could ever experience while being alive. And, of course: moderation is the key, as with all things. Thank you.

Where have you been lately?

Interesting viewpoint you have there.  As someone who has smoked pot in my past, but who has never taken it seriously as you say, I must point out that there seems to be a bit of self-delusion in that post.  I have nothing against pot myself, hell, I think it should be legalized and I don't think that pot is a gateway to harder drugs.  Nor do I think that pot is as dangerous as alcohol (my drug of choice).  But let's face up to the facts.  You smoke pot, not to get in touch with your inner child, or get closer to your version of god.  You smoke pot to get high.  I have no problem with that at all, but be honest with yourself.  I drink quite a bit and I have no illusion that it's because I'm trying to get in touch with myself, or have a spiritual experience.  I drink to get drunk, plain and simple.  And you smoke pot to get high.  And to state anything else is a cop out.  I'm on your side in the argument, but it's a stronger argument if you say I smoke pot to get high and there's not a damn thing wrong with that.

Here's what I think:

You listen to music, and you love it.

You listen to music high, and you realize WHY you love it.

I started smoking weed only 5 months ago.  I am 24.  Marijuana enhances prog rock because marijuana enhances life.  Pot is probably one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me because it helps me enjoy life the way life should be enjoyed.  How is prog rock with out it?  Mother f**king fantastic.  How is prog rock with it?  Mother f**king fantastic.  What do I mean when I say that... well we all listen to very awesome music, some of use while stoned, some sober.

I remember the first time I listened to Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here while really high, and man was it ever good. But I have to say one thing, after being high for about 2 years its not as good as you seem to make it. Marijuana can enhance your reality because it helps you escape it, the feeling of being high is very good of course, but it gets old after some time. When you realize there are more important things to do in life then sit around and smoke some weed and procrastinate(well thats what I did) you might get a new view on weed, and of course like all drugs if you abuse it things will not turn out right in the end...
