Have any of you guys felt that the combination of drugs and prog would lead to a new sense of spirituality? From my personal experiences, when I was high on marijuana and listening to a few Yes tracks, I always feel an "out of this world" experience. I've heard that while on DMT and listening to prog-style music, people have had some pretty cool experiences. Have any suggestions for me? Or can you share your experience?

A cup of tea and a chip buttie usually does it for me!
A guy suggested I try LSD once, but the money bags kept getting stuck in my throat.
A passing knowledge of "Real English" would decipher my post.

People said that mushrooms, or LSA would also do the trick, but DMT was the best. Too steep for me. (Around 120 bucks for like 3 seeds, on Long Island)

yeah, i have mixed pot with some prog from time to time. Also, if you have windows media player 10, some of the visualizations are stunning while stoned. Especially alchemy (random). My favorite experience was Cluster - zuckerzeit + pot + alchemy visual....All I have to say is wow!!!! - It is impossible to explain! But mix it up for personal preferences.
I myself have cut back on pot as of late and haven't done it in half a year. But I use to be a big stoner.

I've been experimenting with various South American hallucinogenics, and I have to admit they improve the experience of listening to Ashlee Simpson.
So I'm against it.

Thank you Petra!
Yes of course , pot is perfect with prog (and music in general, except some "artists" like Mariah careh .
I remember a fantastic exp on mushrooms while listening on "Ummaguma": we felt like we were in our mother's belly.
Also great trips on LSA with Grateful dead, etc...

Seven LSA seeds = a 12 hours trip

That was exactly the musical experience openly defended by the german producer Rolf Ulrich Kaiser.

How many prog bands took drugs when recording? Do you think that we are to interpret what they were hearing under the the influence? If you were to listen to drug-induced prog recordings would this then dilute the expereince or enhance it?What a dilemma.Ah! theres the rub.(A couple of lumps of black Leb a bit of skunk and half a pack of Rizla reds please )
It's a Camberwell Carrot !

Who needs chemicals if you find the music gets you high. However,
I will confess: too many single malts and I play sky bass guitar along

I'm sure taking drugs while listening to prog is great, but I wouldn't do it. Too risky in more ways than one, like getting arrested or any number of problems with the drugs themselves, plus the cost and the lengths you would have to go to get the drugs. Plus the fact that most are addictive. Plus you might (some may resist, you can never tell) just lose all care for anything but the drugs, and I hope to be able to write music and not wind up as the next Syd Barrett.
Yup.

one time when I came home from a little potsmoke I went in my room, turned off all the lights, and put on "Wind and Wuthering" by genesis. IT BLEW MY MIND!
The Keyboard intro to "Eleventh Earl of Mar" was just so amazing and spacy. I loved it. And the "Unquiet slumbers for the sleepers.../...in that quiet earth../afterglow" suite is amazing.
