I have been in several bands, both with and without smokers. It's been my experience that the majority of the smokers never make it out of their basement. There are exceptions to the rule, but for the most part they couldn't get out of their own way. Of course this is talking about bands who want to do something other than rock out to the silverfish downstairs. I have also done years of extensive research on the effects of pot on playing ability and have come to the conclusion that I am a much better player without the weed. What, no weed? Shocking to some of you, but yes, I make less mistakes and keep better timing. Now, writing music on weed is a whole different story. It gets the creative juices flowing for sure.
