funny you should mention this as i had my first joint in about 6 years on Saturday night. Sat down, opened up Ableton live and had an awesome time. I had totally forgotten how it focusses your hearing and makes everything just a bit more like hearing in "3D".

In answer to the question, i think it's to do with musicians wanting to express their experiences, teens being attracted because it's all a bit rebellious, people wanting to be seen to be a bit naughty. And because songs about drugs have the best hooks.

[wrong chris]

because the entire world is hopped up on goof-balls.
drugs=good
music=good
drugs+music= really good

[kidfromkibbly]

its all about moderation. drugs are cool in moderation

How very Aristotelian of you Kaon

It was like a week ago that you told me to drop out of school and go to ibiza, an island full of "drugged up wankers". All I know is now I am confused about what to do. How am I supposed to live my life, tell me Karlos, tell me! /cry lol

Well you could say why do they make music about anything like why do they make music about love, why do they make music about revolution ect.

People write songs and put in their own views their own expriances just so happens lots of people each weekend go out and dance to music on drugs


I do :eek: judge me as you will lol

As someone said a page back its about escapism. Almost every culture has used drugs and/or alcohol to free themselves. The difference is tribes used to get drugged up, dance to repetitive bass (sound familiar) and get closer to the spiritual realm. Now we do it for the high of moving, the freedom of your brain shutting up and your body just dancing (at least for me).

The question is not about yes or no drugs, it's up to you what you do with them. Somebody said, "from my skin to the inside I rule!" claiming for their right to have the freedom to decide.

From the beggining of times every culture develop his own kind of drug, from deep spiritualization to collective fun, from the secrets of the religion masters and chamans to the rest of the community, allways around a special celebration and looking for the things that are behind the substance in order to a growing experience, even in the festive ocassions.

Artistic creation has a lot of samples of it, human degradation too. But the worst of all of them, ALCOHOL, that causes not only cronical diseases, also social distortions, is legal. ¿?
Legendary colombian cocaine narco, Pablo Escobar, who at the same time built houses and school, electricity and water lines to the deep Colombia forest said, "I can stop Wall Street in 48 hours."
So there's no problem with brokers who can pay for his workhalic pressure full of big bills, but there are troubles where people are dancing...

There are crescent troubles in the same way that the education of the consumers, and the quality af the substances are going down.

If someone of you, agents of the night, has any doubts about take a look here: http://www.escohotado.org/

After that take your own conclussions.
