“That’s great man! I’m happy it has worked for you. What kind of music did you play?”

Thank you.

During the club years mostly classic rock & “new” country. Now I write & produce my own music that’s kinda proggy-floydish sounding nonsense lol. I also have a a project that’s more straight rock & blues with a amazing gal singer who can flat out wail. I produce 1-2 albums a years. Now & then someone will actually buy a download. :)

One’s mind can never be closed.

It does happen then.

If you tell me, i believe you.

I’m sorry.

What happens. The pot just insn’t enough after a while? Or you are with other people that do different drugs?

Is it like porn addicts who need more and more extreme graphics to get excited?

Good. It is only a matter of time until marijuana is legal in the US everywhere

It's the logical progression. Medical marijuana is a pharmaceutical, so it isn't taxed. That's real inconvenient for the gov. It should be legal, and taxed and regulated just as tobacco and alcohol are. Do you really think the gov will go very long without finding away to profit from it?

If I want to smoke some weed. Why should I not be able to?

It’s not addictive, as harmful as smoking tobacco, or drinking alcohol.

Why the snarky response?

It's time to simply abolish the welfare state and let nature take its course. The pot smokers will immediately respond that they smoke and hold good jobs. And many do. Just as most people who drink continue to hold good jobs. Fine. The issue is the casualty rate, which leads directly to the question of social acceptance, social protocols on usage and gateway drugs.

These are ancient questions. Social acceptance of addictive and mood-altering chemical usage has varied widely over time. The barriers against use and the ritualization of usage of accepted drugs (e.g. the various social rituals and rule of thumb limits associated with social drinking) are based on long experience.

There are three new factors today: greatly increased drug potency, a massive welfare state that subsidizes the dropouts, and the culture of victimization that denies personal responsibility for adverse outcomes. This is not a good combination. Of this trifecta, the welfare state is the one element that is purely a matter of public policy. Get rid of it. Let people smoke and drink at their own risk, and deal with the consequences. Most will do ok. Enough will crash and burn that the message will be received.

You’ve been brainwashed by years of anti-pot propaganda.

You pick up a joint and you’re straight on to meth and heroin.

You pick up a joint and you’re straight on to robbing and stealing to pay for it.

That’s what you believe, and you’re wrong.

My little toe hurts. Please doc...I think marijuana is the only thing that works.

And that's where we are at.

The new aspirin.

Thanks so much for your interest. Here’s the title track from the blues-rock project. I wrote this song & play all the instruments while Miss Kimi Wade knocks out the lead vocals.

I watched what pot did to many of my friends in high school. First hand experience.

Like a mix of Great White and Metallica.

Powerful song.

Moonlight is very good too.

“BS. This is a myth. People smoke pot every day for 50 years and tell us i is not addictive.”

This is myth pushed by prohibitionists. Cannabis is not physically addictive. Claiming it is is spitting in the face of science & human biology. You might as well declare the planet Earth is a square box or flat.

A person can develop a psychological addiction to cannabis via extended abuse (using too much too often) much like a cigarette smoker will.

Btw...Happy Easter :)

Thank you.

Don’t want to know what you went through to be able to write that song...

“Thank you. Don’t want to know what you went through to be able to write that song...”

That song was written prior to Feb 2015 which is when I began using cannabis as medicine. Depression is a terrible thing for anyone to experience.

The gal singing the vocals told me she never understood what depression was all about until she heard my demo of the song.
