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).

people often don't understand difference between being high and being drunk or stoned.

every drug or alcohol first can get you high and if you add too much you get either drunk or stoned. if you take above too much, you get overdose.

It's interesting that somebody would say "Personally i feel Alcohol does more damage to a person then POT can." Personally? Good for you. Facts matter: In this country anyway (I might have mentioned this earlier) there are around 80,000 deaths ANNUALLY related directly to alcohol use. Pot…zero. There is no "toxic" amount of pot, although edibles (processed by your body in an entirely different way than inhaling smoke or vapor) can lead to an overdose which, although uncomfortable, isn't deadly…it passes and you might learn something, with zero residual harm…none…except to your dignity perhaps.

A flat lie , no line for pot use on death certificate where it says cause of death "lung cancer " .
Reading these foolish posts makes it more than clear drug users can rationalize anything for their crutch .
The SURE sign of a fool is he always goes to something worse to make his case .
When you have no touch-stone of values everything is relative .

There is simply no meaningful research anywhere indicating pot smoking leads to lung cancer. None. It's been used effectively to reduce side effects from chemotherapy, and there IS data supporting that. If you have sensitive lungs you might not want to smoke anything at all, but, interestingly, a study did seem to indicate that cigarette smokers who also smoked pot had LESS lung cancer than those who only smoke tobacco…put THAT in your pipe! I invite Shubert to look things up, but when you have no touchstone of valuing actual facts and reality, everything is relative. It clearly is the fool who equates all "drug use" as the same thing, but for some the simple path is easiest.
