Cannabis is as about as bad for you as tea! The same can be said about tobacco. They are all leaves of a different plant which, if drank as we do with tea, contain stimulants that have no serious health risks.
The only difference between drinking tea and coffee or smoking weed and fags is the method you have opted for delivering the stimulants accross the blood-brain barrier. It is true tht smoking is bad for the lungs and it is also true that cigarettes have been infused with a yriad of extra toxins that cause harm. But that is no reason to blame the plant itself.
I have very little time for all you holier-than-thou judgementalists that think because you run and swim a bit, drink herbal tea and eat salad leaves that you are somehow above reproach and are better than everyone else. Its all about the dopamine release in the brain and excersize gets the rush going as does, amongst other things, THC, caffeine, nicotine, adrenaline, junk food, sex, masturbation, religion, laughter, texture, music, art and much more....
So, after you have had a run that took you far enough to release the neccessary levels of dopamine to satisfy, you are sitting in your smoke-free home and tucking into your healthy salad, bear the following in mind:
1) Things that may be in your salad that contain nicotine: eggplant, tomatoes, potatoes, tomatillos, sweet peppers and hot peppers.
2) After the dopamine rush provided by your 10 mile run you may feel a little aching in the legs. Did you know that cannabis has been proven to provide anti-inflammatory benefits? It can also assist the function of the immune system, improve bone metabolism and neural function. Cannabis is even capable of inhibiting cancer cell growth. It makes lousy tea, but if consumed as such there are no determined risks to your health.
3) for healthy lungs, drink your tea and do not smoke it!
4) Madhouse: 21-24, The Dopamine Rush Suite - Proof prince likes tea and fucking.
5)We are ALL addicted to the dopamine "feel-good" rush, its what our brains are wired to do. People have different ways of attaining that rush, some like to run a marathon, some like to fuck, some like to smoke a big fat spliff. Just remember, if we live long enough dementia gets us in the end anyway!

I would imagine that Prince takes meth. | |

All true, and I must add how people can get that "feel-good" rush from religion. Prince shows signs he's been high on something so maybe he's just high on Jehovah. | |

You don't need drugs to "open your mind". You can do this by learning things, reading, studying and also self-reflecting. Drugs are for lazy people, it's stupid and dangerous. | |

He's told us a lot of untruths in songs and interviews. So that REALLy has nothing to do with reality. I just don't understand why people care. You like the miusic or don't. Not like anyone heare is gonna run an intervention on Prince if he needed it. | |

Prince has definitely used drugs and drink. He was wired on coke during the faked MJ, James Brown performance. It is widely known that after the show he had a wank in the bogs while he admired his own reflection, a sure sign of cocaine narcissism. The whole Gold Experience era he was off his tits on the stuff. He was even using it to whiten his face. Nowadays Prince is whacked up on gerin oil. don't play me...i'm over 30 and i DO smoke weed.... | |

See, now you're learning and one of the main benefits of cannabis is that it stops you listening to absolute dog turd like Elton John. I'll sell you as much weed as you want. It's the good stuff too, just in from Afghanistan...Talibanger. How much you after mate? don't play me...i'm over 30 and i DO smoke weed.... | |

This thread is hilarious! First of all, of course P did drugs. Probably nothing more than E, weed, and acid. I personally HATE ecstasy. Turns people into complete idiots (I've never done it). You've never "seen" P unless you've been on a head full of acid though. | |

Oh. You could be right. Allegedly Prince was into Terence McKenna, DMT, Sacred Mushroom and The Food of the Gods back in the 80's and early 90's. It could be another reason his music was so mind-blowing back then. | |

Yeah, I've never read or heard this anywhere else. I'd like to believe it, but, it doesn't sound likely.

Yes, it was once word in Prince "Universe". If he did mushrooms back then can't be proven. I always thought this is what he was talking about in the song 'Boom' when he said, "and if the sunrise is still a question, the answer is in the dark...celibate, mushroom, canopy" but TheEnglishGent brings new meaning to the last line of this song. | |

It just seems like it would be a hard thing to hide after 30 years in the limelight and having worked with so many people. It's like finding out he was gay at this point. My main surprise would be as to how the secret was kept for so long, especially now in the internet era! | |

Anybody who can come up with Spooky Electric, Others Here With Us and shit like that has definitely done some drugs. I mean looking back on Prince's career yes the man was bold, but some of the shit he did and sung about required some strong ass drugs I mean this man actually said he wanted to fuck the taste oughtta somebody's mouth on a record Some heavy ass drugs As far as him being Gay-I think he is bisexual. I mean it's been 30 yrs and somebody woulda told that shit already I know he makes people sign contracts and they dont talk, but believe that shit that somebody woulda leaked that shit way back when | |

Its stupid to classify it as stup id. Some Drugs r drugs bcause they do things u CAN'T Do in yiur own. If u can get your brain todo what it does on LSD, let a dude know....cuz u could make a lot of mmoney. Imagining asphatlt bats flying out of the road and feeling like you are actually seeing asphalt bats flying out of the road r two drastically different experiences . Notbthatbeither particularlly benefited me...im just not discussing drugs that did benefit me...like the maybe the pain killers docs gave me after surgery...or thebdrugs i got for the issue with my siatic. Or the Humira i take to contron my crohns disese...closed and narrow mindedness wouldbbe the stagnant dewth of this planet without the human ability to take it surroundings and manipulating them for our benefit...sometimes destruction. Without this though...we would all still b invthe stone age...good comes with bad. The bad isnt the drugs....the bad is the abuse of drugs...and thats not even clear cut. [Edited 6/16/13 2:53am] | |

I hope he did a little weed, wine, dropped acid, maybe a line or 2...
BUT really we all can see his true hardcored drug which is recording music. | |

I've never tried coke, but my uncle has and now 65 and still . When his wife was dying of cancer he was to addicted to be there for her and too addicted to take care of his daughter when his wife passed. So she got passed around with her mothers family. . I think I can judge, on something I have not experienced. And I don't think I need to. I have had weed in a organic natural form. But I've seen the horror of cocaine use. Knowledge is information gained through experience Wisdom is information gained through intuition. | |

That's not true . Mankind can created things to fly to the moon, but a man can't create a persona called Spooky Electric . a man can create a whole Star Wars Universe a man can create a whole Middle Earth Universe with hobbits Elves dwarfs wizards and the pound upon pound of background information to created 6 movies and countless books but a man can't create a persona called Spooky Electric
. It's ok to admit you need drugs to be inventive, but 1000s of other doen't, just a creative mind.

I don't think you have to be on drugs to be bold and make a song like Others Here With Us, it's just a song about what many people think about or believe that there are spirits of deceased people ghosts or whatever around us. The information is already there, to make a song like that. Plus they all probably had a deep conversation about it the subject, and Bobby Z (uncle taking his life?)
Nothing that required a person to be hi. And lust is enough to say "I want to fuck the taste outta your mouth" that's nothing. Lust creates a very diverse sexual erotic language.
. I don't think he's either. Like you said, if he was the stories would have been out by now.
