Everything is better on a benzo/opiate combo IMO.As far as the posts about taking acid in school,I used to do it occasionally in High School.Lots of funny stories to go with those days,I mainly remember looking at the teacher and thinking "haha,I'm tripping and YOU don't know it"!Then when it got really heavy and we got bored sitting in a place where eveything was 2 colors and all industrial looking,we'd skip scool.There was a hole in the fence along the track and we'd slip into the woods and smoke weed,trip out and come back right before last period let out.
I remember one time when my teacher was talking to me and there was a fly buzzing around her head,leaving multi-color trails.All I could focus on was that damn fly.Another time I had taken 2 hits that were more powerful than what I expected and was sitting in algebra class.The teacher was explaining a formula when she turned to me and said "what do you think (insert my name here)?The numbers compressed into a white line on the board.All I could do was say"I don't know" and put my head down on my desk.I skipped the rest of the day.Good times.
To answer the original question/main point of the thread,when my Xanax and Percocet combo kicks in good that's when I start doing what needs to get done around the house,After the work is done,I shower,shave and listen to some music or get on youtube and watch a concert or 2.When I used to could handle weed or other psychedelics I would love playing my guitar and writing songs.Weed especially made me really creative.It's like I would have a million riffs and song ideas flooding my head.I had to use a micro-casette recorder or I would forget them when I came down.Some of my best material has been written on weed.And it wasn't just me who thought this.Friends and band mates would usually tell me it was some of my best stuff.Too bad my anxiety(and probation plus my doctor's required piss tests) keep me from getting stoned anymore.With the advancements in home recording technology over the past 20 years or so.it's possible to have a drum machine and a relatively inexpensive 4 or 8 track recorder with built in EQ and mixer and turn out decent sounding home recordings.If nothing else,it would give me something to shop around to help me find another group of like minded musicians in my new state,giving potential band mates some idea of the direction I'm trying to go in.I can still write material sober of course but weed sure did help the creative process for me.If I used alcohol to help the weed induced anxiety I would end up playing like shit because of the way it fucks up my precision and overall playing ability.I suppose a few mg of Xanax would help but piss tests keep me from smoking at all.It's a shame because the rural area I've moved to has lots of really high grade weed for cheap.Stuff that would go for insanely expensive prices back home is pretty cheap around here,And I don't even know anybody around here but the stuff is literally all over and I'm sure I'd have no problems finding a quarter ounce of super dank for cheap just by asking people on one of our trips to town for groceries,doctor visits,filling scripts etc....The only drugs here are weed (no interest other than the afore mentioned creativity boost),LOTS of crystal meth that is supposed to be really powerful (I hate stims of any kind),and moonshine that is really high quality and fairly cheap for a quart mason jar of pure shine (haven't had that in years but would like to get my hands on some).Since there are no other street drugs here,pharms go for outrageous prices.I'm sure if I offered someone a couple Xannie bars and a couple perc 10s I could get a nice sack of at least a few grams(probably a fat eighth/slack quarter) since most people around here tend to just eyeball their bags because so many people grow around here that you've got hillbillies that have growing down to a science.Some of these people have very little formal education,can barely read and write, yet they are experts at growing weed that can hold it's own with the best anywhere and distilling top notch moonshine using a recipe that has been in their family for generations.Okay,I'm starting to get off topic here so I'll wrap this up.I just wish there was a better selection of opiates and benzos down here and doctors weren't so afraid of writing prescriptions.Sigh.
