I find it comparable to skunk.

By the way, I can't stand the smell of it either. Every time I enter my brother's room it smells like burnt plastic and body odor.

The quality, frequency, and depth of discussion on music has significantly decreased, the quality of members has fallen, the level of comraderie and sense of community once felt by a tight-knit group of music enthusiasts has gone. MB has become a breeding ground for inane arguments, ideological bickering, and general pointlessness. Our best posters rarely post anymore, and our mods spend most of their time making one-liners as opposed to kickstarting incredibly interesting and diverse threads as they have in the past. Some of the best minds these boards have ever known are gone forever, only to be replaced by a slew of cheap imitations.

Just my opinion, I'm sure there are others who disagree but I don't see how they can defend such a position.

It might interfere with my ability to keep my homework to a page, but it definitely helps with my deductive reasoning skills.

I was just making a joke but okay.

One thing that has changed in the time I've been a mod here is that the number spammers and the amount of member drama has increased quite a bit. I guess you'll have to forgive the mod team for spending our time dealing with that as opposed to "kickstarting incredibly interesting and diverse threads", but maybe instead of just complaining, you could try kickstarting some threads of your own.

No I understand it's still boring as hell to you, but I'm the type of person who cleans his apartment when he gets stoned. It just makes sense to apply myself doing something productive when I'm feeling good.

I definitely agree with you about tripping and listening to music. It opens avenues in your perceptual awareness that you wouldn't think possible otherwise.

Wish I could even find shrooms around here.

Ive been here for a few years now, just like you have, and I feel a little insulted by your post if anything. But don't misunderstand, that's your opinion and I have nothing personal against you or your opinion.

If Ive learned anything through the years as a member here at MB, or any music forum for that matter. Everything has basically already been discussed many times over and over! It does get boring at times for any music enthusiast who has been around for any lengthy period of time.

But I consider that a part of the learning process for any individual (music enthusiast). If this is not "common knowledge", then you have not been very active in these forums or any other music forum for that matter. And this is not Rocket Science.

Do you have any ideal how many times that active users have repeated themselves through the years with almost every subject there is concerning music, bands, artist, genres, styles, etc.

Members will always be leaving and replaced by new ones, that's just the way it is.

Some people are never satisfied and always have the habit of speaking before they think, in my opinion.

See you in the forums anticipation. (Peace)!

To sum this up, listening to music causes dopamine to flow to your brain. And getting high does as well. When you're listening to music and getting high there is more dopamine flowing to your brain as opposed to if you were just doing one without the other.

Makes sense to me.

I think this somewhat explains why music can be a little more enjoyable while you're stoned.
