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).

The biggest financial and time expense for this audio hobby is the dedicated music room. One of lifes pleasures is to indulge occasionally in your favorite drink (for me), whatever for you, and know, you will not get thrown out of the joint, at the end of the night. In fact you can also sleep in your room if you want to. My recommendation is try not to make this habit forming.....

This is also when the digital only guys start saying their bits and bytes sound better than analog....... :^)

Tostados, 'bout a decade ago I read a report in the Houston Chronicle, buried in the back of section A, regarding the results of a study on regular pot smokers.  Seems they had a lower incidence of lung cancer.  Now, since it was a university doing that study, one could claim a bias buried in there ('damn kidz'). *G*  Shared that news with my 'source' at the time, and he wasn't surprised at all....

"You know how you cough with that first hit?  All the junk you bark up?"

Yeah...

"Well...it's probably not all from weed, don'tcha think?"

Now, wouldn't that be nifty.  Another selling point....*LOL*  IMHO, anything and everything seems to have a hidden cost, some not so hidden.  Something that makes your head happy is likely rotting your butt in some obscure fashion.  So, pick your poison or not, enjoy the toys in the mindset of your preference.  That's the point, I thought...;)  Soar with the angels now, since the devil will get his due eventually anyway.
Play on...

...and I don't know how that happened.  I'm not 'high' nor 'low' @ this moment.  Although that might be a cure for Monday mornings...;)
I also see nothing wrong using pot or any cannabis. It's medicine that fights a HUGE number of diseases. It increases life longevity as no other medicine indeed.
Ambian, shot (or two) of Vodka and a well placed (spot) light directly above the spinning record puts forth a rather psychedelic light show on my ceiling...Not to mention I can watch the Head Shell travel the album so my stylus doesn't get jacked up by the label!
