Man, I don't know how much experience you have with Adderall, but don't let it turn you into a zombie. The reason I switched from prescription pills to other options is because I had no emotions on the pills. Never ate, never talked.

Just keep in mind that you always have marijuana to fall back on if you hate the feeling of Adderall. Especially considering that it's gonna be legal countrywide before we know it...

I was in a band full of stoners. I accepted them, they definitely did not accept me, even though my musical and professional contribution was without question.

It's not always a good mix.

My wife's aunt owns the liquor store in Eufaula, Oklahoma. They've got some funky rules there.

yeah pressing enter too many times shows mental incapacity.

totally

have you met SxE people..? like in the flesh met them?
most infuriating people in the world.

most sXe kids are sober because one of their parents was a useless drunk or an addict.. which is like year 10 psychology. if your that simple, your plankton.

oh am i delusional for stating you wouldnt have walked out on the stones or hendrix, does that justify my habit. No im not in the stones or hendrix. but would you? hell if i had liked the music i wouldnt have turned down the velvet underground.

if we all gave up "the dream" you wouldnt have any new songs to play and learn from the few who do make it.

i hate xerox machines

I mostly grew up in Utah and Montana, I was shocked when I came to California and saw hard liquor sold in SUPERMARKETS! Sodom and Gomorrah!

Utah grocers pulled tarps over the alcohol on Sundays, beer was limited to 3.2% and my uncle owned the only bar in a town of 60,000 people.

These new laws probably shock a lot of people who have grown accustomed to tight controls on even alcohol. It must seem like the gates of Hell opening up.

Ah musicians... there not saints.
My biggest issue with bands has been booze. Wicked drunks.
Pot heads are OK but... they forget the changes a lot.

I think I can see your message though all the colorful swirls. Xerox machine is an interesting analogy for someone who allows real life to filter through once in awhile but there is something else you need to consider.

The thing about good artists is that while they have the ability to unbound themselves from reality to gain a new perspective, they also keep one hand tied firmly to earth because that is where the audience is, they don't want to drift away and lose touch with them...

I'm fairly positive that one of the bible belt states already has or is about to institute the usage of medical marijuana.

I am guessing Iowa? They seem oddly progressive at times for being in the heart of the bible belt.

Iowa is bible belt? Ha, I guess it could be for some I was actually thinking it was Mississippi who was considering it, if you could believe it.

Many of the religious/spiritual people I know choose cannabis (plant given to us by God) over alcohol (man-made poison), so I would not be surprised to see compassionate voters of the Bible Belt voting to legalize medicine for sick people.

That's true. Some people like it. Some hate it. I might have a different opinion if it wasn't illegal.

I guess I always assumed it to be the lower mid-west also.

Surprised that Mississippi would go there, I would have thought they'd elect Barbara Streisand to the senate before that happened.

A big part of Rastafarianism right there. This is the verse they feel defines the ganja sacrament.
