Giving up drugs and alcohol twelve years ago has allowed me to enjoy this hobby, and indeed, has made it possible. I may not have some of the extreme thrills that others get, and I'm sure not morally opposed to whatever adults put in their bodies, but for me the answer is sobriety. That's the key to my musical enjoyment!
What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience?
In this post let's consider alcohol, nicotine, and coffee drugs, as they are, along with the usual suspects that can get you arrested in most US states and beheaded in Saudi Arabia. I live in Victoria, Canada, which has more marijuana shops than Starbucks, and we have tons of Starbucks. In 10 minutes, I can walk from my house to four dispensaries, which will sell to anyone over 18. OK, enough bragging, For me, a puff, and just one puff (I don't like getting stoned) can be the best tweak ever. A glass of wine is also a fine
compliment. Too much alcohol will increase my enjoyment (because I'm drunk) but put Phil Spector in the room (wall of sound and loss of the stuff I value in my system, such as clarity).
