Not this again! What's next - some whacky claim that Prince, Michael Jackson and James Brown all played together one night?

SMH.

Prince's fav drug is music.

There's also lots of stories of him doing ecstasy during the Lovesexy era so it's not like he's always held 100% to that anti-drug thing.

There's one story, repeated lots of times.

Judging from his output, I guess the only drug he uses is valium

No. Weed in particular, and recreational drugs in general, are for the feeble minded

Same with alcohol - any one who drinks beer or liquor is weak willed and a burden on society.

You can add coffee to the list too. And whilst youre at it, may as well add chocolate. The strong minded only consume vegetables, beans and soya milk you see. Anyone else drains the system and causes capitalist markets to crash. they are also a source of global warming, but thats an entirely different argument.

Prince has admitted drinking on some occasion but never been reported being drunk, and has never been reported smoking weed, nor taking any other drugs save his xtc experience in December 1987. Thank you.

Now I wish I could smoke weed right now

Who on this board past a certain age hasn't tried certain...substances in their youth.

He has always held a no drug stance and I'm proud of his position on drugs in general

However I'd say the one time its quite clear he was experimenting was during the Exodus album in 1995

I still do, but I don't buy illegal substances outside of my own country, so all I've got left is booze

I'm 8 months younger than Prince, and I've never tried any drug, or smoked any tobacco. I have had more than my share of adult beverages, though.

In this respect, Prince is a good role model. People don't need to be off their head to be creative or to find inner strength.

I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't need to take drugs - I'm in the gym everyday and play sports so I wouldn't want keeping fit and healthy to be pointless!

Well, I wish I could say that for my only personl demon--cigs.

Doing drugs is 1 of the dumbest things to do.. =>

It leads to a lot of health- and social problems, sometimes it leads you to doing harder drugs, then sometimes to early death....

Sorry but that's the truth..


"In France a skinny man died of a big disease with a little name, by chance his girlfriend came across a needle and soon she did the same...."

TOTALLY AGREE!

All drugs are bad! Some people think weed is ok, but they don't know the gangs / crime / violence / pain / suffering / soul destruction, that went into the supply chain.

If people need a 'high' they should find inner strength - thats's all we need to get by!

Drugs destroy everything in it's path!

I don't even smoke but I just need to let you know that this is utter crap and you shouldn't reiterate it if you want people to take you seriously

I've always wondered why people ASS-ume that great inspiration necessarily comes from imibibing booze or drugs. This one I have to roll eyes on. Sorry.

Perhaps because there's a huge amount of artist that are known drug users

"Now" from The Gold Experience has more than a passing reference to weed. "Big Fun" from Exodus, begins with "Yo, let me light that". Followed by the first line "Psychedelic mama, tell me girl what's your sign". Hallucination Rain sounds like being high. Either that or it's a song where Mayte slips Sonny T a micky.

C'mon, folks. Prince has never been big on drugs. His drug of choice has always been music. Just listen to "Purple Music."

Some orgers definetely need a big fat joint.

That's a computer generated hoax.

thedance said:

Prince is clean,

he is not drinking alchohol, not doing silly drugs.

lies

he drinks alcohol, occasionally.

There are several devices around the net.

One example that I know is, he and his band members killed a bottle of port wine together with some tacos at the NPG afterparty after the ONA concert in Frankfurt, October 2002.

So basically what I'm getting so far is that he drinks and indulges occassionally and some of you are on some "say it ain't so Joe" because he's your role model

Thizz said:

WOW.....(the song)

If he did smoke herb maybe he wouldn't be so uptight/tightly wound.

I'm with those who think he should smoke some weed.

if he still made great music this wouldn't be an issue.

weed=nice.

Anyone remember that 90s interview where he was asked if does drugs and he said "I'm interested in all experiences"? I think he was just being cryptic,but some fans were shocked by that statement,lol
