Odd Revelation About the Ganja

Maybe a week since the last sacred bud went up in smoky infamy and I notice specifically I enunciate my words more clearly.  It may sound like a cheapshot in saying American's don't like "T" very much but it's a clear part of the dialect.

Think of it in saying 'writer' as the the "T" will often be similar to a "D" in pronunciation.

But if you do enunciate it clearly then it may make you sound like a prig or at least be perceived that way.  The thinking just now is better sound like a prig than a doofus.


That thought jumps immediately to music.  When enunciation is clearly better without the ganja than why should it improve music.  This is not at all defensive because I want to know for sure.

As evidence in favor of it, ganja is in many ways a music amplifier.  That increases the passion and drives the music forward.  It has nothing to do with dreaming of fantasies of Planet X or some such.  That simple fact of the music amplifier is heavy evidence.

(Ed:  but is it enough evidence?)

Precisely the quandary, matey mate.

(Ed: the passion is there anyway or you would not have stayed with it so long)

True evidence and all of it is needed in the accounting.


On a somewhat-related note, there is some speculation in news about driving under the influence of the ganja.  As a fifty-year, almost continous, stoner, I categorically reject it even though I know for a fact my focus on the road is higher and I've never had an accident when I was stoned, despite doing it quite a bit in earlier times.  Nevertheless, the question comes:  if I croak a kid with a car, how can I truthfully say there wasn't anything I could have done to prevent it.

That question made the decision point.  If there is even a flyspeck of a possibility then it can't ever happen ... so I don't.  As I say, there is more discipline in the Silas than may be obvious but another discipline applies as well.  This one may be Fraser protocol, unknown, but never let anyone see how hard you work.  Always try to make it look effortless.

That leads to one of the highest compliments in rock:  der Musiker makes it look SO easy.


There is no decision regarding ganja jamming and I know I will do it again.  It sure would be swell if the Ganja Fairy comes by sometime!

Serendipity.

Ganja isn't avoidance of anything but rather it's another mechanism for turning the knobs on the amp to ten.  (Screw that hairball band about going to eleven. Amps go to ten.  Many people like that movie but I cringed at it.  Nose-picking comedy?  Holy shit!)

(Ed:  that's what coke does to you)

Maybe so but I don't fookin' want it!  (larfs)


We're clear on ganja driving or alcohol driving:  zero tolerance ... unless you're in a self-driving car ... but we also loathe those creepy vehicles.  As to ganja music, there's still not a clear answer, at least not to this one.
