The 'stars' you mention would be just as boring stoned as anyone else.
There are lots of MJ smokers out there, for sure, some OK, some can't string a sentence together.
Bottom Line (to use an Americanism) is that life needs to be grabbed by the balls and you need to be straight to do that.
I think Kubla Khan and The ancient Marriner were both written under the infulence of laudanum - a tincture of alcohol and opium, I think? Definately opium based.
And the rockers spent more time on stage stoned than streight, especialy people like Jimmy and Jim and Keith (I don't think he was streight for 20 years!!!!) but still rocked hard.
I agree you need to take life by the balls, but I still think some of us can do that stoned.
I agree it is hard to understand how a stoner can do stuff, but we can. There are thugs and there are stoned thugs, but not everyone who gets stoned is a thug!
