Musicians get busted for dope all the time. Often, it ruins them. Just a little faster than using the dope. I've got a lot of old and ex friends that fell to dope. All I can say to all those young men and women high on being high and music is, one day the bottom is going to fall out of that high you are on, so be ready for a change you won't see coming.
Agreed.
My point however, was that it is the same person, and you are suggesting that one side of you can do/find things, that the other side of you can not. THAT ... is the falacy, not the dope!
So yeah, that crash is not going to be fun! And worse of all ... that person will now have to recoup and put themselves together, which is harder, and sends many people to the "good book" (so to speak!) and not realizing the error in their perception that can be fixed!
The rest? ... water under the bridge in the river of life!
PS: Not that it matters, but one of the novels I have been writing is about dope and creating both music and writing. And I am making sure the visuals are there! I decided I would not make a judgement on it in the end, and will let things just be, which already got my sister upset ... she thought I cop'd out in the end ... and I had to tell her, that my choice is to let people make their choice. They either become a "whole" person, or they become just another cardboard representative of some ideal out there! It's their choice, at that point ... but the music and writing won't be worth it!
