I've smoked quite a bit more than you think I have. I've also done drugs that I'm definitely not proud of having done, but I was young and stupid. If you get your jollies on weed more power to you. I personally don't, and it would be a waste of money for me to attempt to. If for no other reason, I'd like to continue to see my kids.Its funny, you portray yourself as knowledgeable because you are an ex-musician, but its obvious you haven't tried smoking pot more than a few times in your life. Probably just the once you refer to here.
Many people, Id even venture to say most people, receive no buzz off pot the first time or two they smoke it. I was that way, so were most of my friends in H.S. when we all started smoking it. Yep, I remember the very first time I smoked it, I thought I was stoned, I walked around telling people how stoned I was (like an ***), but the reality was that WAS a placebo effect. I thought Id be stoned, so I made myself stoned. A couple smoking sessions later, I realized this, quickly. Ive now been smoking on and off for more than 20 years, probably smoked 3x more pot than anyone else on this forum (no, Im not bragging, its nothing to be proud of), I had a "medical card" IN Cali for multiple years, and I can definitely say without a doubt that you are about as far from as expert on smoking pot, and its affects, as there is. So please stop lecturing people like you have any idea about pot, or its affects.
$1000 in tests? Really? In Cali I told a doctor in a local clinic I had migraines. He gave me a 1 week prescription for a mild pain killer, which a second doctor the next day then changed to a 1-year medical marijuana prescription. Total cost to me, approx $80 and 2 hours of my time. The medical aspect of it in California is a joke.
Funny/sad story, when I went into the 'pot doctors' office to get my 1-week script changed to the marijuana script, my appt was one of the first ones in the morning. The doctor was running late. Myself and quite a few other patients were sitting around waiting for him to show up. He called in, the nurse put him on speaker phone because she was doing 4 things at once, and he told her (and announced to the entire waiting room) that he was late because he's so damn drunk that he missed his exit on the interstate. He shows up 10 mins later, we all hear him come in the back door of the office. The nurse runs into the back room and closes the door, but we can still hear every word said. She tells him "you were on speaker phone and everyone heard you are drunk". He steps outside, looks a little embarrassed, then cracks some quick joke about needing to pee and ducks into the bathroom. So then after that he comes out and starts interviewing patients (to prescribe them pot). Im the second one in. He sits me down and starts asking me questions that seem ... odd... then after a few of them I realize he's asking me questions as if Im not a new patient, but one returning to renew my prescription from a previous year. I played along because I didnt know how to tell this 'doctor' he is an idiot in a polite manner. Im not sure he ever realized he had never seen me before.
lulz.Oh, and insufficient power and too much volume definitely will damage a speaker. It's called clipping. Learn it, live it.
its for sure not a placeboYou sir seem to be a very educated, down to earth guy. I agree with most of what you said. However, i dont believe its a placeb. I smoke for cheap and i enjoy it. You are correct in the fact that smoking before looking into a job is not smart but im going to be a freshman in college so ive got plenty of time before that happens. I agree also with what you said about other drug, i believe they should all be legal because illegalizing drugs is against our constitution. However, i would not try any other drugs either. This is exactly why i asked you to elaborate. There are intelligent people who know the facts such as yourself and there are others filled up with governmental propaganda about drugs.
lol, i like that one. This is a funny joke i read a couple days ago about the gov:
HOW TO SELL TOOTHBRUSHES
The kids filed back into class Monday morning. They were very excited.
Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on
productive salesmanship.
Little Sally led off: "I sold girl scout cookies and I made $30," she
said proudly, "My sales approach was to appeal to the customer's civil
spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success."
"Very good," said the teacher.
Little Jenny was next:
"I sold magazines," she said, "I made $45 and I explained to everyone
that magazines would keep them up on current events."
"Very good, Jenny," said the teacher..
Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn.
The teacher held her breath ...
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box
full of cash on the teacher's desk. "$2,467," he said.
"$2,467!" cried the teacher, "What in the world were you selling?"
"Toothbrushes," said Little Johnny.
"Toothbrushes!" echoed the teacher, "How could you possibly sell
enough tooth brushes to make that much money?"
"I found the busiest corner in town," said Little Johnny, "I set up a
Dip & Chip stand and gave everybody who walked by a free sample."
They all said the same thing, "Hey, this tastes like dog shit!"
Then I would say,"It is dog shit. Wanna buy a toothbrush?"
"I used the governmental approach of giving you something shitty for
free, and then making you pay to get the shitty taste out of your
mouth."
So you've now established you didnt learn anything about drugs as a musician, or anything about speakers.... what exactly did you learn as a musician?Oh, and insufficient power and too much volume definitely will damage a speaker. It's called clipping. Learn it, live it.
