I agree, with many others, drug use in youth population is dangerous and at a high percentage. But I do not discard it, disagree with it or look down on it. Call me old fashion, but im still stuck in the sixties and seventies with the drug use and rebillions.
I disagree very much so with kids who just drink tell there smashed, or pop so much ecstacy they cant function, smoke to much weed and just fall over.
But I deffinetly support some jazz influenced boy, take ecstacy to better intouch them selves deeply within their passion of music.
Or a guitar player smoking some marijuna to up their self esteem, to better their ego, to allow them to have a three hour oppurunity to connect with the strings of their guitar, to ingest the base and to embrase the strings.
I am a drug addict, I have admited that, and I have gone to treatment for it. I still use drugs, just ecstacy and cocaine now, im open about that, it is deffinetly not as bad as it was before.
I use the drugs mainly for the power and the ability I feel to be in-touch with my music, my opinions, my thoughts and my life. Before, Rehabilitation/Treatment I used drugs mainly to cope..
It is an entirely different situation now.
In the Fifties - Seventies, the biggest evolution/revolution many people have ever seen, was influenced by music and LCD. Deffinetly, a big demand for drugs-
the Youth Movment was pushed by those two key factors: Music & Drugs.
It is time for another Evolution, it is time for Youth Movement.
If drugs and music worked then, It will work now.
Its a lifestyle, its an opinion and its the edge of evolution.
