Yeah I know, the point I was making was that whether the abuse of a substance is alcohol or heroin it's still abuse and I'm against it. Heroin is one of those drugs where pretty much any use of it is easily liable to lead to an abusive situation, hence even moderation is not my policy. If one of my friends were to get to the stage of doing that stuff, I'd fight tooth and nail to get them away from it.

what about people who managa to lead a totally functioning life whilst being dependant on drugs, even drugs as serious as heroin..

i know that many great jazz musicians etc.. took serious amounts of heroin to inspire their work

loads of people can live normal lives on heroin, if they can sustain a job, and have a good clean supply.....
Id rather have a heroin addict perform surgery on me than an alcoholic anyway

Hahhahahahahahah that bit of the initial post alone made me laugh

I thought I would add my comments

Yes you are right A lot of DJs and producers do drugs and drink. I play at Dance Academy in Plymouth UK as well as other venues (and free parties as well as radio guest mixes) quite a lot and get pissed out of my face nearly every single weekend I am out. I have tried base once (but never again) and I do laughing gas and poppers too....

Whoever said most DJs do not do drugs is the most naive person ever, of course most people are going to say they don't do drugs when questioned by the press.

I will tell you a few stories but I wont name names of funny drug experiences I have witnessed

1) A certain filthy trance producer for two massive UK labels played here in the south west and his driver's car broke down and he couldnt get to his second gig, so he decided 'Fuck it! I'm gonna get fuckin steaming' and bought 4 pills and did all 4 whilst gurning away next to the other DJs that nite. He also came on to my mate's girlfriend bless him.

2) One DJ from Wales came up to me once when he was fucked and asked me if I could get him any pills, which I declined as I don't do them. The same situation happened with another large UK producer.

3) A German hardstyle DJ demands weed every time he plays for my friends night here in the south west.

4) A supercharged UK producer/reviewer was well fucked on cocaine when he played here and dropped a bottle of beer bought for him on his foot letting it spill all over his shoe, isntead of picking it up - he stared at it vaguely and went 'Oh dear' and just looked vague.

That should do you for amusing stories and I hope it clears up questions.

P.S I have played records saying 'Fucking trip on XTC' 'Dance Of cocaine lsd ecstasy whatever' 'what was that....ecstasy' 'Ecstasy love' etc - doesn't mean I do them!

How far did you have to dig to find this thread?

not far, a google search randomly linked to it and i thought i'd read for a giggle

what bullshit

Louk

have an idea what the hardstyle dj is as someone i know had to sort him out. drugs are bad remember that kids

haha im guessing you are a bionic head then

Louk

was but not anymore not really into hardstyle at all. remember when they got PVD to play but they lost shitloads of money that night. shame really as its got harder ever since. been flyering for them for years tho. thought the dj wanted a cigarette so when i gave them it they said 'no weed'. fair play to them tho.

Oh, I also heard that once at a live gig, Oaky snorted a line of coke off the mixer, and passed out while he was mixing. Can anyone verify this?

I really doubt that. Cocaine has the exact opposite effect.

the dj from wales not one of the promoters from a popular night in Cardiff?
