Drugs--->Emotions--->Song--->Profit?
But ya seriously does this work like this?

nope
hardwork -> profit -> drugs -> reality tv
When ever you hear of say a cool artist that kinda falls off the radar, it is almost always a drug related issue. I mean some people settle down. But ya, if someone doesn't do something for a while, they are hitting the needle or the pipe.
If you start relatively close to the work of a new album, that album might be great, but it is really all down hill from there.

I wrote this from about 11 pm to 5:30 in the morning, stoned out of my gourd the whole time. I fell asleep until 10, woke up and couldn't even vaguely remember what the track sounded like before I heard it again. That was pretty cool
Well, that's a rework of it, the original mix is on my SC too but the mixdown is awful.

I don't ever want to be tempted to do drugs, but if you made anything like that in the condition that you said you were in, then I am speechless.

So it looks like the overall consensus so far in this entire thread is to get high, take breaks and avoid masturbating for long periods of time.......,
TA is such a civilised community..... :D

heh, "condition". I'd say the fact that I stayed up until 5:30 was more significant than smoking weed the whole time. you can still think and act coherently, you just have a bit of a different mindset and pattern of thought. kind of amplifies your emotions a bit too, at least it does for me.
hell, some of my best ideas I've come up with after smoking a fatty. I don't suggest mixing on it though, way too hard to focus on minor details like that.
I've been off the stuff for 5 weeks now, longest break I've taken in a year and a half, but I'm planning on smoking tonight. maybe I'll try writing too, I'll post what I make if rodri posts whatever the hell he's about to do. half a gram of hash, jesus .

4) Suddenly realise it was all along
LOL #4 really sucks.

It would be pretty funny if you were to find out that a classic such as "airwaves" would made when Rank 1 was high...
not only is it possible, it's highly likely. i know of a few producers who love drinking in the studio. i can't do it, i lose focus. maybe a couple beers and a cigarette, but generally it distracts me. i don't know everyone's work flow or habits, but i typically don't even work on music without cannabis, it's just how things turned out.
this one i was, for sure. this is just one example, but every one of the songs on my SC were done smoking cannabis. only because it works for me and that's how i choose to work.
but other drugs, i simply don't do (that time has come and gone), and certainly don't use them when i'm making music.
edit* additional note: drugs tend to people up because they do them for the wrong reasons and in an already bad state of mind, and i honestly don't know of anyone who is doing "drugs" in the studio. if you consider cannabis a drug, alcohol and cigarettes easily fall into this category so that would certainly expand the number of people doing "drugs".
but let's keep it on the level, cannabis and something like meth are entirely different, and cannabis, especially for someone who has been smoking it for years, is not very mind altering, just kind of euphoric and enhances creativity, and gives me better focus. keep in mind i'm 24, so 10 years older than you, so i know how my mind interacts with it and don't have to worry about it affecting my development as a teen. to be honest it's a non-issue. if you are making great music, no one cares how you did it (as long as you're not noticeably endangering yourself).
