Only gettin high off phish now. Stupid drug courtPhish wouldn't be touring if it wasn't for drug court!
I bet Trey thought it was stupid at first also.
drug court > jail/prisonTrue that, i already was sanction for a cople weeks for pissin dirty but im changing my life around starting today! and not only am i doing this for me but mostly doing it for them so i can tour this summer n shit.
I'd rather do 30 in county (depending on county) than a year of probation.
Good luck though bro, everything happens for a reason. The best part about being sober imo is the tremendous drop in tolerance you get ha ha, seriously good luck to ya.
@Peezy said:Wow. I can relate to things that he said, goin to jail sucks and 90% of the people in jail/prison blame someone else and are addicts. Idk. Idk. Jack Keroac died at like 47 from alcoholism. His buddy Cassidy strung out on uppers died laying on railroad tracks at 42, Idk man. Addiction is a bad motherfucker, idk. Idk. Huh. I do know that trey seems like one of the most humble people I've ever heard, sounds like a nice guy; but addicts are a tricky lot. Idk. I hope trey is happy and healthy. all for treatment vs imprisonment, got me thinking deep. Awesome share broOnly gettin high off phish now. Stupid drug court

tl/dr: I am that guy that is about to get bitched at for saying I don't need drugs...
You'll get nothing but love from me, @spencur6. Good for you! I'm not always sober, but I completely respect your choice.me either. I drink. I partake in tobacco upon occasion (i bought a hookah and it has its fair share of use under its belt). And Frankly weed for me is special occasions only. usually every 5-6 months if that. but its not something i rely on for fun.
I find it hard to believe that marijuana was not smoked in that slanty looking shed, further I would have a hard time believing that drugs did not play a part in the creation of the some of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard.I'm sure they did. But thats a rare case. You can argue acid makes you creative like the beatles...only difference is the beatles possessed talent before drugs...kinda like a certain red headed guitarist I know about.
And why is not doing drugs so awful? I am being serious. I hate to say it but do you really need drugs? I mean yeah they make things different but if you really can't alter your perspective or have fun without substance help are you really having fun? Think of it this way I am constantly told that shrooms would change my perspective on life...I doubt this. Why? Because think about it I could alter my perspective by trying something new thats not drugs, or hanging around with someone else for a while. Doesn't have to be drugs.while i respect where youre coming from, this is exactly how i felt before i tried shrooms

Didn't you just say yesterday you hoped bieber would be murdered? Sounds like your a young person, I admire your choices but don't pull the holier than thou bs ha ha cause ya got no clue
@spencur6, you've never eaten mushrooms and you are relating an opinion about them? Ha haI didn't say I hoped he was murdered I just said it wouldn't put damper on my day. I am contributing an opinion. you can -1 me if you want. I am just saying so what if you can't do drugs? but hey I've seen more obscene stuff posted on this site.

As much as they are accepted in our community and have the potential to have amazing effects, psychadelics are not for everyone, not by a long shot.
@WordsFromASong, how often have you taken psychedelics?
I have eaten a shitload (haha) of shrooms in my day
@spencur6, I modded @billybatts, yesterday it was my 58th mod and I feel guilty. I wouldn't mod you for your opinion. I can't convey how psychedelics alter perception in under 2500 words; but the manner with which they do alter perception is unique from any other method.
sober phish shows are good phish showsSo so true. Just gotta rage super hard to get high on endorphins.
@Peezy you got this shit brother. I know you're strong, and it may be hard. You made your choices, and you will always be able to make those choices again, but for now just be content with the consequences that came from your previous choices. We're here for you brother. This tokes for you.
What goes up must come down. Find balance in your sobriety and enjoy life.
Drugs are an individual choice and no one should be ridiculed for the choice they make.unless they are throwing their life away and getting overly randy. maybe ridicule isn't appropriate, but criticism sure is.

sober phish shows are good phish showsi went to something like 20 of my first 24 or 25 shows sober. the music was soooo overwhelming i didn't feel i needed them. this is not because i did not do them away from phish or while listening to phish. if phish was whipping out a monster mike's song or yem, I wanted my head to be where it should be.
how long you in the drug court? i've never done drug court but i have endured to 6 month stretches of court ordered sobriety, once when i was 15 and one a couple years back. it's no fun, but soon enough, it will be a thing of the past for you. keep your head up, STAY CLEAN, and get the f*** through it!! you're good player!!
Living sober is the best choice I ever made. As a raging alcoholic/addict, my choice was very clear: lose my wife, kids, job, and home - or try rehab/recovery and work very hard at staying sober. I have been completely sober for 8 years now and my life is wonderful with a great family and enough money to travel from MT to see a few Phish shows every year, and all the other good shit that comes with being clear headed and energetic.
I respect anyone's choice to use or not to use. I don't think there is really a right or wrong way to do it unless you are really harming yourself or others, and the way you feel is the best indicator. Many of the funnest times in my life were full-on benders,but the latest ones have been of the natural/spiritual type which includes Phish shows.
If you really want to stay sober but can't, I suggest a 12-step program like AA or NA. There are many people in your area with experiences similar to yours who are willing to help for free.
I'm just saying, as a parent, who can't make the decision of someone getting in their car drunk, don't do it; That's what cabs are for. If you are driving drunk, it's not responsible. End of story.
Bad things have happened in my life as a result of drunk drivers. It's a touchy, soft subject with me.

Because think about it I could alter my perspective by trying something new thats not drugs, or hanging around with someone else for a while. Doesn't have to be drugs.When people tell you shrooms will change your perspective on life, they hopefully don't mean shrooms are the only thing that will change your life. Of course trying something new, meeting new people, being in nature, hearing a song, etc. can all change your life drastically. I'm just failing to see why pyschadelic mushrooms, which have undeniably changed the lives of thousands, wouldn't also be something to change your perspective.

I go to Phish concerts sober by choice and the music f***s my face. I get high from the music. Just let go. Next thing you know, you are high as f*** and when you look down at your body you realize that you have been dancing for quite some time. I know it sounds cliche but the music alone literally takes me to 'that place.' I love Phish.I enjoy my sober shows much more than my high shows. I can't stress that enough!
Alight drugs are drugs and I feel as though I accept them as a concert enhancer. I don't have a problem with them but this is coming from a kid who has only dosed once and that was at super ball i gave into some pure pressure from a buddy and did. Never did the whole shroom thing although I would like to just for one show when the time is right that is... I usually just drink a lot at shows which lets not forget is a drug too... Conclusion being I don't hate drugs don't like them either I'm neutral but please just don't drive when f***ed up that shit hits too close to home
Hate on my opinion all you want if you disagree

You can get pretty high meditating man, 100% true. Also there are drugs that can't be tested for and aren't on the DEA list yet; blessed thistle is one and it grows wild.
Good luck man, if you need a buzz look organic first please, need help please let me.
Agreed 100%. Just to be clear, my drunk driving was many years ago when I was young and careless. It is definitely something I am ashamed of and would never do again.
if it sounded like I thought it was funny or something, that was not my intent at all.

I would definitely, totally be that crazy bitch that would come back and haunt someone though. Totally.
II also respect anyone's decision to drink or dabble in drugs, but it shouldn't be taken on the road. I probably am going to get thumbs downed for this comment, or ridiculed in some manner.Why you feel like this would open you up to criticism is beyond me. I'm no angel, with a DUI in my back pocket and so many "should haves" that it's embarrassing, but thankfully that's in my past (in mid-January I hope to be able to celebrate 3 years without a drink) and I will gladly second any call for reduced drunk/drugged driving. Which, with some thoughtful advanced planning, shouldn't be nearly the huge problem that it is.
@WordsFromASong in no way shape or form was I takeing a shot at you. Don't get that twisted
