Why is this? i think after a first listen is more enlightening

In spite of Prince's somewhat questionable and possible hypocritical anti-drug stance, I always though Fascination sounded like it was intended to be listened to after copious amounts of weed.

to you too.

Self-righteousness and judgment are ugly traits.

Classy.

Bad choice of words.

u roll ur eyes at me y? because i don't indulge in altering my mind, body with drugs? sorry i've seen it destroy my family 2 much 2 know what i speak of. music took and takes me higher than any herbal, powder substance could ever do. sorry that u feel the need 2 get 2 that level with the help of another substance that u can go 2 jail 4.

so it's not about being self righteous, it's a life choice and i choice 2 not do that.

I think Lovesexy is his most psychedelic album. Not psychedelic like 60's rock but psychedelic in the true sense of the word.

TRC was great too.

Actually Emancipation was not stoney at all, but was well suited to repeated listens while high. I listened to that album over & over for years.

The album was one that you could read into the "story" and wonder about the mythology presented, what was his name, what would come next (was he writing an opera?)...

You also choose to be grandly self-righteous and talk out your ass about something you've only got half a picture of to begin with.

Yes, there are dangerous substances out there that can do a lot of damage. And yes, when abused some of these substances can destroy lives. But you're making sweeping statements with no cause.

Power Fantastic is great with some headphones on, sober or after the hitting the greenstuff.

And let's not forget Purple Music.

No, I've had much worse longterm effects from Aleve, an over the counter pain medication, than from cannabis.
Don't believe everything you read. I've read that one of the reasons cannabis was criminalized is because it made black men and hispanic men lust after and rape white women. That's not true either...
I agree, most of what we eat, drink and breathe is bad for us. Most of it much worse than cannabis.

Here's an important difference, even the most benign drugs, like aspirin, kill people every year. Cannabis has never killed one person in the history of man. Interesting, no?

It is sometimes psychologically addictive, but not physically. Compared to nicotine, caffeine, alcohol, etc... it's the easiest thing to quit. You don't get sick, at all. At most, there's a short period of insomnia, a mild lack of appetite, and within a few days... No. Physical. Effects. At. All.
For both recreational and medicinal purposes, smoking is the fastest way to feel the effects. But clearly, it does not need to be smoked to have an effect, eating it works just fine and there are some fantastic recipes to be found for those that want the medicinal (or recreational) effects without smoking...

L4OATheOriginal said:

Agreed. Luckily no one here is discussing NEEDING drugs to listen to music. It started off as a discussion of what Prince music is ENHANCED by smoking marijuana. Not the same as a need...

iloveannie said:

yeah, amphetamines are a highly dangerous drug. Please avoid them.

L4OATheOriginal said:

There is no way that weed destroyed your family.

legna said:

well mostly because of "The element of surprise" you do not know where this
musical trip will take u next....

djThunderfunk said:

Prince suggested getting stoned to listen to MPLS in the article for those not reading the link.

nyse said:

What about your later listening? I think some albums/music would be let-downs later without "la yerba buena"

Yes that is tru but i take that chance....

but usualy I allways hear some thing new with each listen.

but of course it is not as enlightning as the 1st go round.

djThunderfunk said:

Very true. Much of the reasoning behind the criminalization of marijuana stems from racist fears.

legna said:

I believe that the lil fella doesn't do drugs these days but I would seriously question the assertion some people make that he never has, especially considering the casual way he references the herb.

JayJai said:

No it's a good choice of words, you're just too high to figure it out...

meow85 said:

Thank You, and a good day to you too.

P2daP said:

The word 'nob' springs to mind

POSITIVITY

Why do you critisize people for using drugs? If they want it's their choice. Music can take on a whole new experience when you're high.
