There are many instances of creative individuals who do not take drugs, many instances of drug taking artists who find that when they quit drugs, not only does their life as a whole improve, but that they become more creative.

Dance like it hurts; Love like you need money; Work like someone is watching.
Never criticize someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes. That way, when you DO criticize them, you are a mile away, and you have their shoes.

Gah, I wish people would stop trying to justify drugs.
If you can't deal with the day on your own, smoke a cigarette.
If you can't relax in a social situation, drink alocohol.

Originally posted by onewheeldave:
i.e. you're saying that drugs are a lifestyle choice whereas Magnus has made it very clear that he believes drugs are not a lifestyle choice, rather they are a way for the weak to face life.
So in effect you are saying that you disagree with Magnus, whilst offering no reason whatsoever why you disagree.

quote:But some of the most conservative people I know use drugs. I find that the choice of drugs tends to vary with conservative types staying with legal drugs like coffee, tobacco, and alcohol, while the liberal types tend towards marijuana and other things on that spectrum.

lots of people from all walks of life use drugs, lots of from all walks of life don't. more from the liberal side do, more from the conservative side don't. Musicians tend to be more liberal.

heh nicotine isn't that bad of a drug. It actually has some health benefits in moderation. The reasons cigarettes have such a bad rep is because they are consumed in such a stupidly large amount that they cause damage. Marijuana is worse per gram for your body to inhale then most forms of tobacco.
