Who needs drugs when you've got music?

Getting back to the OPs point, yes, music can and does move me without the need of drugs. (Yes, I did smoke back in the day and drank beer to fool my parents. That was in the past and I begrudge no one here what they choose to do.)

I'm just not that high and mighty or condescending enough to pass judgement on anyone here.

Now it's just a half a glass of wine once a week or so. All it takes, for me, is to simply slip into the music when the connection is made and it's off to audio nirvana. By the way, I'd love to experience Joyce DiDonato from what I just read.

Wolf,does that include choosing the correct ones?

I have a friend who says, "Deep listening after smoking reefer is such a thrill, it's like a drug to me."

My name is Mark, and I am a vinyl junkie.
One addiction I believe is quite enough.
I will not refuse a joint or a bite of magic mushroom at a party, but nothing can take me as high as listening to “The Wall” on vinyl.

I don't smoke but I did for awhile about 30 years ago. I've never seen any harm in it but I'm not a doctor. My take is it has to be better for you than drinking 4 cans of diet Coke every day. Of course if you smoke it like Dean Martin smoked cigarettes that's not good.
