But I dont think I apply too much to this demographic considering I would rather listen to Rolling Stones while trippin on X, rather than any EDM. Yeah, thats what happens when 15 and 14 year olds think their cool and abuse things that are far beyond their own level of responsibility and maturity. Sorry, but judge all you want, you still dont know shit.

I wouldn't say "I don't know shit", but I know how it affects and has affected me. So, I'd think that counts for something.

Well, what can I say, most drug users I know are quite responsible and very good people. I figure this out, retards who cant handle drug use, end up in the newspaper or as some statistic for a crime. Either way, they are happily removing themselves from the gene pool, and all we really lost is just another gas station attendant at best...

I know, it just makes you a little wary of it when you've lost friends because they end up being total dickheads.

I understand some people can use drugs and be upstanding members of society, which is why I'm not completely close-minded on the subject. I'm just slightly biased.

I know when I'm drunk or high or numb (the latter two are far in my past).. whatever... I like to listen to music. But, I don't limit it to just EDM. A band called Pinback is fucking awesome while altered, specifically their song "Penelope". So, I wouldn't associate drugs with just EDM. I mean, go to a Snoop Dogg concert or even a Tom Petty show and I guarantee the ganj use will be through the roof. Drugs are part of the music community and vice versa. Always have been, always will be.

I've never done drugs and don't plan on ever doing drugs. I can enjoy the music tremendously and have one hell of a time even just sitting in my room listening to music, and I don't feel I need to get high to enhance that feeling.

I also don't see what the point is to getting stoned/smashed/hammered/wasted, but that's just me.

No one here does drugs. At all. Ever.

Originally posted by DJ Lucas i was at an outdoor EDM festival last weekend, and saw a lot of people on drugs, was offered to buy coke, X, weed, asked if i had coke, X, acid. i saw a person get taken out on a stretcher to an ambulance, and heard about 3 other people taken away. Heard there was bad acid going around. Saw this girl puking all over, FREAKING out, and crying....and it wasn't from too much alchohol. i knew that this event would attract a lot of hardcore ravers and i knew drug use was to be expected... and i don't have anything against druggies unless they are a burden to society...I, myself smoked pot frequently from age 16-20...i am curious about trying X, but probably won't do it...i don't think a little weed really hurts anyone... but i was wondering what percentage of EDM fans are drug users, and more specifically, what percentage of TAs are...also peoples views on drugs/users, and the relation to EDM... btw the event was called blueshift, and i had a great time....skylab2000 was insane...tore the place up!

I went out last week and saw 2 guys on alcohol beat the shit out of each other, did you see that at this party?

You appear to be experiencing your first taste of real life and shock horror, people take drugs.

TA all round nice guy.

I'll be honest. I do drugs. Well, not as much as I used to. Moderation is the key. I've had no problems. Just don't let everyone tell you that "druggies" are on the way to jail or nowhere fast or whatever. Most of us are normal people who just like to use them. Don't believe the stereotype. I love pot (had to throw that in)

and I noticed someone else mention this- they say they only use pot and shrooms on occasion. I've heard many a friend tell me this, "pot and mushrooms only cuz it's natural!!" that is one skewed-ass logic. Psilocybin is a POISON used as a defense mechanism of the mushroom to keep predators from eating it. THC is another example, along with Peyote and all those other "OK" natural drugs. Drugs are drugs people. They're not good. Some are just more addictive than others. (i'm not saying that's the reason you only do shrooms and pot, I'm just using you as an example)


...some people can't handle drugs. those that can't, shouldn't.


...and to keep this on the subject, I got into EDM because of MDMA. I then listened to it so much that even when the MDMA was gone, I could still feel the music like I was there again... an indescribable feeling. I attribute the main reason I listen to EDM to MDMA. It got me into the scene in the first place.
