My drugs are mostly pot, psychedelics and MDMA.

Psychedelics cover a wide range. So much sold today, for instance, as LSD, is no better, and sometimes more dangerous than, horse tranquilliser. If however you’re out there collecting you own peyote etc, bless you. As to Methylenedioxymethamphetamine enjoy the warm & cuddly . . . . . .
I’m old enough to remember MANDRAX. Sold as a sedative it had many a shocked husband returning from a late evening at the office to be jumped on by the Mrs at the front door. Me, I seduced the entire Murrumbeena Firsts football team (minus one who ran off screaming ‘Youz lot are a bunch of fukin poofs’). Highly addictive though and soon taken off the market.
Back on the subject of drugs and music it’s always interested me the frequent connection between certain drugs & certain types of music. The Stones for instance somehow managed to stay in tune smacked off their heads. Other groups into heroin couldn’t even figure out what key they were supposed to be playing in. Classical musicians seldom play off their faces but classical composers were often off the planet when composing .

Yeah I’ve had LSD that most certainly was not LSD.

My favourites are the 2Cs, ketamine and shrooms, but I’ll do any psychedelics.

That's literally what I was thinking when I saw the comics he posted in the queer corner thread lol

I don't want to express any opinion regarding drugs now, as I have never tried any. But that's a fact that some music written under drug experience is very catchy and mesmerizing.

Yes, a lot of musicians use drugs, and a lot of them die because of overdose.

I think the drug and music is no match things

Interesting point. I agree that Riley was seen as classical in the ’60s, but today he sits more in that minimalist / experimental space between genres. And you’re right — experimentation (musical and otherwise) was everywhere back then, not just in “non-classical” circles. Plenty of so-called classical composers were pushing boundaries long before the ’60s, with or without chemical inspiration. Labels tend to shift much more than the music itself.
