Something like, “i could wake up real early, go to a job which i hate and does not fulfill me creatively. Or, (takes a hit) i could wake up at noon, and learn to play the sitar.”

A close friend of mine, who, if I mentioned his big hit, you would know, was a Type l diabetic. Severe neuropathy messed him up. We’d be in the recording studio, and he’d have to leave in pain. His meds didn’t help. His son got him to take a couple of tokes, and the meds kicked in, and he was functional. Many meds add aspirin because it makes them work better. Tom is gone now, but a few tokes eased his pain. RIP Tom!
