Ever met a Floyd fan who doesn't smoke weed?

UUUUUUUURRGGGGG, I'm SO sick of this Floyd = pot cliche!!!!!! And yes, I know a lot of clean Floyd fans.

 

pink floyd is the shit dudes

 

You rock!

 

I'm a straight PF fan!

 

I know a few.

 

To be honest, unless you had the attention span the length of a gnat's cock, I doubt there's any music that really benefits from being listened to while stoned. I've never noticed or known anyone notice anything in music that can't be picked up just as easily with a little aural training, while by contrast marijuana also has detrimental effects on the range of audible frequencies during use.

This isn't meant to be an anti-marijuana tract, since most of us don't listen to music in acoustically-ideal situations - far from it, really - but I'd hope people wouldn't assume that drugs are the only way to enhance one's listening experiences.

 

Yeah Ive meet plenty of Floydians who dont partake in herb, but Ive meet many more that do.....

Your nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker......

 

where did you find that pic its awesome

 

listening to a Pink Floyd song is drug enough like it can put you in a trance like "On The Run" or "Welcome To The Machine"

 

I dont know I have a whole bunch of Battersea photos.. some arnt formated in jpeg or Id post others.
use your search engine, "Battersea power station". you should be able to find most of the ones I have...

 

Self Control, not trying to be an ass here, but state your source for the research and findings on the effects of music while stoned. I honestly do not believe there's ever been anything scientific done on it. But then, I've been known to be wrong, once before.

Myself, I find it very enlightening to be high and listen to any music, especially Floyd. My senses are all enhanced, especially with any good Sativa. May just be me, but listening to music while stoned enhances my experience. I do, however, have some friends with "tin ears" that may as well be listening to a monkey banging a steel pot with a steel spoon.

Orison, if you ever manage to get an image of the power station with a pig floating over it, it'll go for millions on fleabay!

 

I don't have an exact source on account of being told it in a lecture, but I believe it. If true it's acoustic science, really, no different from the fact that you hear things differently while drunk or tired or out-of-breath. It's a physiological response, the "altered state" that you mention, but you can clearly hear it in a lot of 60s production, on occasions when less-than-professional studio engineers mixed music while stoned; music tends to have exaggerated high frequencies, because the smoker's ability to hear them is lessened. I don't have proof to hand, and I have too much to do right now to look it up on anything but Wikipedia (which I'm guessing you'd reject off-hand), although it shouldn't be hard to find; but if you want fairly compelling evidence, just listen to some MC5!

I kinda guessed the idea that marijuana has any "negative" effects is pretty offensive around here

Nah, it's fair enough to be critical, but at the same time I'm hardly surprised that this isn't common knowledge. I'm not against marijuana, any more than I'm against alcohol, but in terms of music "appreciation", its use should at best be seen as gaining another perspective, rather than superior to skilled listening. You may, for example, hear more detail in the bass of a track as a result of the ear attenuating to the loss of high frequencies.

I'll look into this, or you can. I'm finding Google unhelpful at the moment.

 

Have to say though, re-reading your post, there's been A LOT of research, if not purely scientific.

 

I recognize myself in every strangers eyes, stoned or not........

 

yeah,my dad

 

Yes tons

 

UPDATE: Recently (as in the last 6 months or so), I've started smoking weed more regularly, because it's become more available in my neighborhood. One night, I put on Dark Side of the Moon, and I have to admit that it was one of the greatest enlightening experiences of my life. Since then, I've gotten stoned and listened to a lot of different kinds of music: Classical, Jazz, Metal, Electronic, Grateful Dead, etc. Basically, if anything marijuana has done for me, it has increased my appreciation for music, but it's also opened my eyes to the universe as a whole, which is something that religion has never been able to do. I think that's why so many people hate marijuana, because pot combined with the appropriate music can be literally mind-blowing, and it makes people think.

 

I don't. I am too lazy to smoke.

 

I've been a Floyd fan for 35 years and never smoked weed, neither have I ever sat in a room with others who are smoking weed while they listen to Pink Floyd.
