He looks like he's having fun... enjoying himself... and well on the way to international fame and success, all for doing what he loves.


That's why we don't do drugs?

Yes. Nobody wants to play on snl, have fun, be in a funk & rock band and be on your way to fame.

Actually drugs make you have a gap in your teeth

flea was just a major pothead. never really got into hard drugs at all. if you consider pot a major threat to society, you've got bigger fish to fry

It might not kill you and might not be as agresive as other drugs, but it does create adiction on the long run somehow like coffe. And it makes you retarded too...

It is a threat to society, maybe not the scariest one, but definetly a threat.

I thought when he was hanging with River Phoenix he might have been dabbling in the white stuff.

If drugs were like a mansion then pot would be the front door. It's rare that you just stay with pot. I know it led me to do other things. But hey, that was a cool clip. The Chile Peppers always had great stage presence.

I don't know about Flea but, if I was that sax player the bus would be pulling over at the first car wash so I could do a full on decon of my instrument.

Actually that would probably be the second stop. The first being the proctologist to have it detached from the singer.

Actually, it's rare that you move on to stronger stuff, it's just that nearly everyone who goes on to the stronger stuff started off with pot.

I used to smoke alot when I was younger, and so did many of my friends. Out of probably 30-40 people I know who was into it, maybe two or three moved onto hard drugs.

I love when someone calls other people retards in a post w/ 4 misspellings and grammatical errors almost too numerous to count.

Like most substances, if you overdo it, pot is not very good for you. We've all known a few people who toked up a little too regularly and were the mental equivalent of Bill and Ted. But I know people that have used it for years and years and hold down good jobs, raise a family and remain quite intelligent.

WOW, That performance might make me equate drugs with Fun! Maybe if You would show some G.G. Allin it might keep me off drugs.
or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7-k0...eature=related
I guess when Richard Lloyd came to Dayton this last year his band had already left him. He was wasted and hit the bartenders car pulling in. Onstage, Which I heard was a mess, He twice turned his back to the crowd and snorted some unknown substance. My keys player said it was a sad spectacle.

I love how often I stumble upon an american TBer who doesnt know where Spain is nor the language thats spoken here...

Would you mind to tell me my grammatical erros plz?

Back on topic: I do know alcoholics who have acomplished the same achivements as the people you mention... But most of the alcoholics I know have really effed up lives...
Same goes with pot... and even without overdoing it.
