No, there are people out there who's main preoccupation with reggae music is that it compliments their weed smoking lifestyle. They annoy the **** outta' me as well, but conversely marijuana plays a significant role in the Rastafarian ethos that reggae is built on.
It stands to reason that if the demographic you're talking about is a bunch of heads commenting on a Bob Marley video on Youtube, you're going to run into this mentality more frequently than in real life. It might be a strong indictment of who your friends are, as well.

Since when has being high ever decreased your enjoyment of music.
It increases it.

Also, the majority of people who are commenting on youtube videos are generally not the brightest bunch.

Well said Phzed. Just because someone makes a comment on Youtube doesnt necessarily mean you take it at face value.

That said Ima gone to get High as Mofo

I don't think I have ever read a single comment on You tube regarding music for fear of laughing my ass off. If people know their music then YT is the last place they should post really.

Um...What's with all these new threads about drugs?
I think they would go fine in the Recreational Drug Thread or this could go in the "Music to listen to while high" thread, there is one, I just searched it.

Not to be a downer, but you may have moved the thread as whole to the General Music section, I imagine that you may have merged the other way around. But you are probably still getting used to all the new mod buttons that get added.

I know weed plays a large role in this type of music. I do not deny that. But its getting old. The majority of people dont even seem to enjoy this music. They just listen to it because they think they will feel high. I mean cmon people.

Has anyone else noticed this? Or am I just out in left field?

I had a friend who had her first marijuana cigarette when she was 13.
First cigarette went down really bad and from that moment on she has had years of treatment before she could function again. She suffered from very heavy anxiety attacks, delusions, sleeping disorders...
So yeah, it's safe compared to other drugs, usually. But not always.

Eitherway, I'm shocked by the number of people who use drugs here.
It seems so much more than I'm used to.
I think people have a very strange view of the Netherlands, drug-wise.
It's not as much as a drugs-for-everyone country as you may think
