Re: why pot before looping?

[Stuart Wyatt <loopersdelight@solostring.com>]

The reason why I smoke is because it works. I don't need much, but when 
I do smoke, the music comes flooding into my brain.

I have an orchestra which plays 24hrs a day inside my head. A lot of 
the time, it is in the distance and all that I can hear is the slight 
echo of its melodies. However, just a small placebo of grass later, and 
I am hearing the orchestra playing at full blast. When in this state, 
the orchestra plays through my fingers and feet. Sometimes the 
inspiration becomes too much that it almost drives me insane! :)

I don't smoke that much, or that frequently. I've never been a drug 
abuser, but consider myself a shamen of sorts. I'm a user... not an 
abuser.

If I lived in ideal surroundings (which would include space, peace, 
light and lack of stress) then I am 100% sure that I could achieve this 
state naturally. However, living in my box of an apartment with a road 
just outside my window, and wondering how the hell I am going to eat 
this time next week... a little bit of donated grass makes me forget 
all of that crap and allows me to float away into the music.

I think 100% of my recordings have been under the influence of grass....

It works for me. It does not work for others. For example, my 
girlfriend does not smoke - she feels nothing from it. I don't take 
psychoactives or drink that much... the effects are foreign to my 
natural state. Different people, different strokes.
