your "friend"?? suuuuuuuuure


anyway.... tough call man... marijuana is legal in parts of the world for a reason.... its not THAT harmful all things considering

if this were hard drugs the answer would be forget it


since this isn't about hard drugs... hmmm... does "your friend" have any aspirations in life other than producing?

does he want to be the next snoop dogg (who apparently smokes 20 a day)?


or does he have high hopes of becoming a chartered accountant...


look to the future and make the decision that best favors where you are going and where you want to be

To be honest with you... I understand Totally about the ideas flowing a little better. But not always at all. Sometimes it can actually just get you lazy and just walk away from the keyboard. I find that maybe try to limit yourself during producing. To each his own.. Everyone has a different opinion and effect of the "herbal remedy'' to some people it doesnt affect them as much anyway..

It's cheating.

No such thing as cheating.


The danger is you wind up listening to a flanger for 4 hours and get nothing done.

I usually work left brain / right brain.

Get mangled, get creative, come back sober as a judge and assess what carnage I inflicted whilst not paying attention. ;-)

Horses for courses, but I'd be careful of herbal suppliments of any kind..

same here...although sparkin a doob may sometimes act as a catalyst for creativity, there have been times that i've spent hours looping the same 4 bars, editing my synth patch, playing with effects and levels, all to wake up the next day to a cacophonous mess!...then i'd have to go back, copy and paste the midi to a new channel, and start designing from scratch...

although u may come up with a cool melody, nice drum patterns and structural ideas, the end product may not be of the highest quality

I don't have the co-ordination or speed to do it when drunk. Herbs? Pffft, who needs them.
























Try producing on Acid

ThErE is a school of thought that says you should work in thE samE statE as your audiEncE......

I would be interested in hearing some of these "herb melodies." Are they super-gangsta... or are they supa-frog?

I'm not gonna get into what's right and wrong here, I could but I simply wont because I don't have the time for it right now

but of course some people will get more creative after a spliff or two but I don't think it's the spliff itself that gives you the extra ideas. It's just a way to get them out of your head. It probably works more like a catalyst for the ideas.

He could probably find a more healthy way to get his ideas out frmo his head though, dunno what it could be but I can't believe smoking pot is the only way, I just can't.
