What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience?


In this post let's consider alcohol, nicotine, and coffee drugs, as they are, along with the usual suspects that can get you arrested in most US states and beheaded in Saudi Arabia. I live in Victoria, Canada, which has more marijuana shops than Starbucks, and we have tons of Starbucks. In 10 minutes, I can walk from my house to four dispensaries, which will sell to anyone over 18. OK, enough bragging, For me, a puff, and just one puff (I don't like getting stoned) can be the best tweak ever. A glass of wine is also a fine compliment. Too much alcohol will increase my enjoyment (because I'm drunk) but put Phil Spector in the room (wall of sound and loss of the stuff I value in my system, such as clarity).

Oh, BTW, this is in analog because I have an analog-only system, and if the digital boys chimed in, we'd be talking all day about their need for heroin to enjoy their systems...it's just a joke guys, don't go all Twitter on me.
Yes, discussions of how various drugs improve or degrade experience, in this case listening to music, is silly, immature, and a waste of time. Of course, if you don't have these discussions, we can believe that no one uses, the war on drugs has been great, there is no difference between drug-related incarceration rates for whites and non-whites, the war has not been tool to disenfranchise a large group of voters, etc. Portugal, for example, has not incarcerated or arrested one person for drug use in the last 15 years. I suppose the idea to "legalize" personal drug use came from God, rather than out of discussions about social costs and the good and bad of drug use. I remember being 15 and going to a Yes concert in Buffalo. People brought in huge coolers full of alcohol and dealers grooved to the music, dancing on the football field selling most every drug anyone would have wanted in 1975. I suppose the stadium was full of wacko, immature, silly people. This was just a simple question; and yes, pot, is being legalized across NA because so many people feel that it helps ruin their experiences. I submit we get back to more fun and complex discussion, like whether analog is better than digital, or what is the best preamp under $10,000, or whether your Lazyboy listening chair is made of leather and whether that leather can markedly degrade system sound.
