Thats why i said illegal drug. You could relate almost any kind of music to alchohol if you wanted.
Wait, what about "Bert & Ernie sing the blues" or "big birds ABC's"

Drugs and music will always be connected, if you talk rock, you talk women, alcohol and drugs. Electronic Music, when it really got going in the disco era with larry levan, they were serving free punch spiked with LSD. You had acid house, which was based on the drug acid at times. I look at it, as certain people do drugs and certain people don't, what they do for a living is a non issue.
there's a lot of denial going on in this thread.. dance music's both made by/and for people who use drugs, simple as.

| Originally posted by kewlness that's interesting... am i an exception then?? I personally don't do drugs and I want to stay away from it. The only "drug" that I would take is a bit of alcohol here and there.. but nothing that would get me really drunk... I believe that doing drugs is not taking care of your body... just like eating at mcdonalds all the time or something... Which I want to stay away from. I have nothing against people who use drugs responsibly, but I have to admit, I would be more comfortable in a group of non-drug users than drug users due to probably what society has drilled into my mind. I don't want to attack anyone, but if you want to have a decent comparison between the pros and cons of drug use, you have to look at it from both point of views unbiasedly. Most of the comments I've heard from people are biased (both drug users and non-drug users). From what I can tell... the pros and cons of drugs (MDMA, weed, etc... excluding coke and other more potent and harmful drugs) PROS: - Enhances the music.. takes it to a whole new level - Feels good, doesn't hurt anyone... presumably safe? - Less dangerous than alcohol or tobacco - Doesn't hurt anyone - Relaxes/Excites you CONS: - May have impurities in it, causing it to be dangerous - May be associated with criminal activities (from dealers) - Unresponsible Excessive use may cause damage to body or death - Tabooed by society - May cause some damage to your body?? Please feel free to correct, add or anything to this list... Let's be rational instead of being biased |
I used to use them some, but I've cut down...I've just gotten paranoid about arrest and drug tests and stuff lately. I've got too many other importent things on my hands that I'd rather not screw up.
Dance music is about dance music, plain and simple...if it's also about drugs or not is a personal preference.
why do drugs when you could just masturbate to get the same type of pros

i totally embrace drug usage in dance music culture... its been a massive part of dance music and EDM since its birth.. and im willing to say that drugs have a large part in the way our scene is right now... the atmosphere, the sound as fuck people.
i havnt bothered to read all this thread.. but i think i know what to expect if i do, moere of the same, druggies are scum, thyey ruin the scene yadda yadda. personally, i had my big stint in drug taking.. pills, speed, ketamine acid, mushrooms etc etc etc.. strictly club drugs tho, as did all my friends, and to be honest, ive met sum of the soundest ppl i could ever wish to meet over the years, and had the mostenjoyable times possible.
never seen any fighting, bad attitude ever. end of the day, if you dont do drugs and go to a club and wanna stare at drug users like scum, and be warey of how your dancing, or be more bothered about scoring chicks, then whatever, ill be there at 6am on the dancefloor asking for one more tune.
as for people turninf into dickheads when on drugs....BULLSHIT! the only drug that cvan turn you into sum thing your not, is coke... and if your gonna be doing coke itll either turn you into a fun loving person, or youll turn into a dickhead and think your better than everyone, sumthing which i dont wanna end up like, so i dont do it.
i have had quite a few years, hammering the fuck out fo drugs.. 15 pills a night and a gram of speed etc, and i honestly dont think im a dickhead because of it, drug usage has opened my eyes to a reality, that drug takers are nice friendly people, and they showed me how to appreciate the good times, and understand what it is like to be down... which i see as a very good thing to see.
end of the day.. if i go to a club, bump into a guy/girl whatever, and end up being with them all night, and making a new friend out of no-where, sumone that lives at the other end of the country, sumone i could very weel bump into again at another club a few months down the line... then im 100% all for drugs.
I dont care what kinda drugs ur on or what kinda drugs im on as long as everyone tries to stay a bit responsible for theyre actions and knows how to handle themselves, and when they feel they have reached theyre limit they know how to ask for a helping hand instead of going off and doing something stupid.
