That's exactly it. Weed doesn't kill anyone. So good of you to make a federal issue of it like you had a real issue that INQUIRING MINDS NEED TO KNOW. (where's my can of "bitch-b-gone?")
It wouldn't kill your career as long as you are smart enough not to smoke before you play. (Never a good idea, especially if you don't know your stuff cold.)
And Robin, the only reason I even bother to respond to you is because you had to raise your dainty hand and say YOU are the only one, as if that was important enough to make a whole response about. (You must think very highly about yourself)
Mr. Robin Williams has/had a very difficult time with cocaine. Lucky for us all, he removed his head from his ass. I, do, however seem to remember an interview where he talks about some of the stuff he wrote while under the influence and Robin, you won't have to worry about that because you don't write anything.
See some of us like a little mental stimulation to make writing easier. If that needs explanation, see above remark. (You'd have to be there)
You can chalk me up in the "I don't care wtf anyone does, as long as they aren't hurting themselves and others." And to inflict your opinion on others, being you know nothing at all about it strikes me as usual and thoughtless. Welcome to the Machine, step right in and be turned into Soylent Green.

), and I expect the same consideration from other musicians. I've been to too many band rehearsals that ended because one or more participants are too f@cked up to remember their own names...ahh, good times.
I guess I'm suprised that you were suprised that some musicians you were playing with used drugs. I dare say you will run into this again if you keep playing. Whether it's a problem to the music depends on the individual and how they handle it. Some people just get confused or distracted and their playing deteriorates while others will thrive. I'm pretty sure I was stoned for most if not all of the recordings in my profile. I've had many, many more negative experiences in the music business with booze. Again it depends on the individual but try to judge people on their playing and heart and not on their personal habits unless their habits get in the way. I've played with people who forget parts and screw up who never did any drugs or booze in their life. Also in my experience it's usually the cig smokers who take up the most time with breaks.
