I totally buy it at the composition stage I just think if it were me I'd have trouble keeping time as a performer.

The herb is infamous in musicians' circles (Kansas has been for quite a bit of time), and is widely considered as a substance that provides a modest but pleasant alteration of consciousness that gives the user a different perspective on whatever he or she may be doing. It's not so much that it aids creativity, but helps the musician to see alternative phrases and note selections quickly.

They went to the point where the heavy smokers were feeling VERY stoned and most failed the test. At that point the casual users were scary. One heavy smoker just barely passed at the high dosage and asked for more. The task here was to see if the Police officer involved in the test would see anything that would cause him to pull them over. In art I always wondered if my creativity was being boosted or if my 'logical word' parts were being inhibited to let the non-verbals focus on the image at hand. Fine detail work on watercolor portraits always went quicker with less effort to get to the desired result. Even if it were to go all legal, it is way too costly these days. Oh, for some $15 oz Vietnamese Leaf of 1972!!

Nedelle struck me as more stoned than Julia, tho, altho I can see why stoners might enjoy Julia's music.

If a person has years in both the playing of their instrument _and_ in the inhalation therapy, _then_ they can play quite well. More and more American high schoolers are doping and driving, according to a recent article. They are neither used to driving nor smoking for long enough and can be looked at as legitimate threats to public safety and themselves.
