Correct me if I'm wrong. But I think if you are a serious musician you should be allowed to the drug(s) of your choice. Some of you may think I must be stoned out of my mine right now but I'm serious. Some of the best of all time past and present were straight junkies. From Jazz (Miles Davis),to rap (2Pac, Lil Wayne), to rock (Elvis,Jimi Hendrix), to Pop (Amy Whinehouse,Justin Timberlake), to Soul (James Brown, Ray Charles), to Country (Wilie Nelson). Drugs were a major influence on they're best songs. And I'm 100% positive that without those drugs those songs would never exist.
Music is a very powerful substance. Somewhat similar to a drug. It can alter your mood. It can change your point of veiw. It can also create a sense of euphoria. I'm sure it's been plenty of times when you've felt like a pile of dog crap and your favorite song plays next and you find yourself without a care in the world! I don't think I would be going to far to say music has saved some peoples lives. People don't spend $100 on concert tickets to go in front of 1000+ people to cry their eyes out and make fools of themselves. They do so because they feel what the artist is relaying. They can relate. They feel like "Hey, he/she's just like me". So in a way they get high off them being high. Don't get me wrong people make music without anything. And I'm sure the artists that are high could sing or rap without it. But drugs just make them feel a certain way. It puts that umf in their voice and that pep in their steps.
The point of all the things I just said is this- Why are the cops doing their best to throw them away. I mean artist like T.I and Lil Wayne. T.I is serving time for possesion of machine guns and suppressors. But Bryan "Birdman" Williams(Along with 18 others) were pulled over in a R.V in Nov/07 and officers found a pound of weed and over $20,000. Lil Wayne was arressted earlier this year for possession of various drugs(Pot,X,Blow). These artist can be thrown away for ever because they were guilty of being themselves. They give to the world the best they know how and look what happens. They're taken away from it. And it's not just rappers. Wilie Nelson was popped in Louisiana in Oct/07. When his tour bus was pulled over. They retrieved over 2lbs. of skunk weed and about a pound of mushroom tops.
I mean does the government and these pussy ass cops really think they can rid the world of drugs. That will never ever happen. You can get life for a 1/4 ounce of heroin in most states.And people still do it. 10yr. min. for one kilo of coke. Yet People bring it here by the boat loads. I believe there is a science to everything (Hence the name Kymistry) including running this country. And I can tell you it's not by spending $50,000,000 on a fighter jet. It's not by throwing people away for life for simple possession. And spend billions....... maybe even trillions of dollars to keep the system like it is. I want you're input on this people. Tell me what you think. Goood or bad. Let's get it.
