Successful potheads.

First of all, drugs were as a whole nowhere near as potent as they are now. Secondly, I'm not sure I buy that from McCartney. I know he was a huge stoner during his Beatles tenure, but as for it actually helping him write songs...it's a nice story but probably not totally true.

lol @ drugs are nowhere near as potent as they are now. Way to buy into the bullshit our governments spread. Drugs overall were much more potent back then actually, especially lsd etc. The only thing that has gone up in potency over the years has been weed but that's not to say they didn't have amazing weed back then. Back then they had amazing pure sativa's that were incredibly potent and had borderline psychedelic effects. Now the only way to get a high like that is to live somewhere like cali where you know what you are getting or grow it yourself. Now all of our drugs are cut to shit and half the problems associated with them come from people not knowing what they are getting or some nasty cut.

playing devils advocate, I believe he by potent he meant "dangerous due to the impure cuts of everything."
Thats how I read it anyway.

If that's what he meant then he is an idiot.

**Vengeful Scars** · 10-14-2009, 06:17 PM

Well then... McCartney pretty much invalidated every Beatles documentary I've seen

**Atmosfear** · 10-14-2009, 07:04 PM

This thread sucks and is now about successful Parrotheads:

Jimmy Buffett
Warren Buffett
Bono
Dennis Kozlowski
Me

**coqauvin** · 10-14-2009, 08:40 PM

Clearly, parrotheads are the scourge of existence

Atmosfear, I'm lobbying for a motion to ban parrotheads from the world until such a time as their taste in music is seen to improve, and in return, i'll vote team hydrosfear

also corporate backing baby

**ShitFace** · 10-15-2009, 06:13 AM

as a pothead i'd like to say that just because someone is successful and smokes pot doesn't mean pot made them successful. it just means they can do both.

your brother is a fool

**no_brains_no_worries** · 10-15-2009, 07:02 AM

He's related to me, so that's a given.

But he the other tokers who put weed on a pedestal and believing that it can produce a massive amount of talent/inspiration really get under my skin.

**Atmosfear** · 10-15-2009, 08:00 AM

coqauvin it is the official position of the Hydrosfear '10 campaign that fuck you we don't want your fucking vote you don't have to like Jimmy Buffett but goddamnit parrotheads have the right to enjoy their island escapism, frozen concoctions, swim trunks, hawaiian shirts, and leis.

**coqauvin** · 10-15-2009, 10:33 AM

They aren't people, James Ingram, they're Jimmy Buffet fans.

**Kal El** · 10-15-2009, 10:39 AM

It all finally makes sense.

**Woofness** · 10-15-2009, 12:31 PM

yep you got it

**Woofness** · 10-15-2009, 12:32 PM

i mean no.

what?

**Vengeful Scars** · 10-15-2009, 01:30 PM

pot made me successful

**hedgerow** · 10-15-2009, 02:16 PM

weed does not make anyone more creative, it just alters their mood in a way that makes them less inhibited with their ideas

crediting a drug with your achievements is like saying the bus driver is the reason you passed your interview

**Woofness** · 10-15-2009, 02:19 PM

which of course if looked at from an oblique angle is true enough.

**Woofness** · 10-15-2009, 02:19 PM

and im not sure you can really say what weed does, it has such a huge range of effects on different people at different times

**Vengeful Scars** · 10-15-2009, 03:43 PM

it turns Niggers into the rapenist folks of white women

**Darth Vader** · 10-15-2009, 03:44 PM

lol niggers.

**Absolution** · 10-16-2009, 12:27 AM

I hate how marijuana has this driving force and support behind it for its legalization. Everything in moderation like sole said; and nbnw and relatives are lame.

**faesce** · 10-16-2009, 10:14 AM

if any of the people mentioned in this thread so far are there, I might just go to venezuela instead the thought of running into someone like that in a bar makes me throw up in my mouth

**Vengeful Scars** · 10-16-2009, 01:09 PM

lolz

**TheDudeFish** · 10-17-2009, 03:10 PM

**Vengeful Scars** · 10-18-2009, 02:13 PM

Also Gina, whenever I think about you(I touch myself) I think you're a good 3-5 years older than me....

well whenever I'm thinking(and not touching) about anyone on the nets I think they're like 5 years older than me... except for a few of them and I think they're like 12

**ShitFace** · 12-06-2009, 03:22 PM

Personally I started making more money after I quit smoking pot. Not saying the pot was holding me back, I was fairly young and everyone starts making more money as they get older.

**LargeDuck** · 12-13-2009, 04:17 PM

A creative mind needs gains inspiration from the shit that occupies their day to days lives. If you take drugs then you experience some crazy shit and you write a song about it and the shit munchers lap it up because it makes no sense and they wish they could afford enough drugs to have a totally addled brain.
