Musicians have education through experience. Not many musicians that never play or practice are very good. That's still education and experience (which often are one in the same).

I'm not the biggest "anti-legalization" guy you'll find. I'm against it, but not so firmly that I won't accept dissenting arguments. Most of all, I don't use, haven't used, and don't plan on using--thus don't have a real big interest in it.

But; you won't convince me that it's a usefull or necessary tool for "increasing creativity" in any particular situation. For what it's worth, I wouldn't make that argument for alcohol either, and I am a drinker. I drink because I like to; nothing more, nothing less. Personally, I'd give the legalization movement a lot more credit if they'd quit coming up with bogus excuses for it, and admit to the same reasoning. "We want to because we like to"

...sorry, I fear this is taking this thread waaay off topic, and into another one that's been discussed extensively (though typically ends badly) before. I am willing to discuss it via PM; or a seperate thread (if Mod's think it's appropriate).
