I don't know how to say this without being offensive, but...

Heh don't look at me either! Personally I couldn't care less if bands I listened to and people I idolised smoked weed. The truth is that they do and to me, it's not a problem so long as they keep good music coming and preferably don't go and kill themselves as a result of it like so many musicians have. But Apocalyptic if you're so religiously anti-drugs as you're making yourself out to be, it's understandable how you could be disappointed about this. All we're saying is just calm down, there's no need for you to be all "I'm not an Opeth fan anymore yada yada yada talking out of my arse blah blah."

In my view, I highly doubt this could have resulted from smoking weed. Maybe from something like heroin or whatever but either way it doesn't matter. If I were anyone from the band I would be disgusted if I read this topic. Fucking disgusted.

The result is that they couldn't play the gigs. Jesus I'm sure you can get your money back and wait until they go back to play again - Mikael said that he hopes to do that anyway. Get over it.

I'm quite sure Apocalyptic is just taking the piss, so no need for the lectures.

I'm 16 and has no experience whatsoever when it comes to smoking.

But I must say I was a little disappointed. Aren't Opeth serious grown up men?

Nah, they're rock stars. HAHA... ...

Rush Limbaugh is also a serious grown-up man, and look at him. :Smokedev:

The only members of Opeth that smoke are the Martins.
Peter and Mike just drink.

And so FUCKING what if they smoke weed. Weed is a lot safer than regular consumption of alcohol,cigarettes, etc Weed is even safer than a lot of the foods people commonly eat each day.

It's really stupid to just point the finger at marijuana as the cause when some one is going through a hard time in life.

 

[osse87]

Doesn't it "slow down" the brain after a while. And one can get pretty depressive if not smoking in a long time if you get addicted.

Hey Osse I'm as old as you, and live in the same town, where in bergen do you live?

 

[Apocalyptic]

it is not possible for someone to go into a breakdown just from smoking marijuana. i think everyone should try cannabis atleast once. mushrooms should be mandatory as well. if you can get good lsd (not street acid shit), then try that too.



:Spin:

I agree with everything you say in your post, but this "weed is safe" babbling is first-class bullshitting.

Weed being "safe" is not my point. Any kind of smoke isn't healthy period.

Let me rephrase my "bullshitting" as

Weed is not even as "dangerous" than the regular consumption of alcohol,cigarettes, aspirin,etc Weed isn't as "dangerous" as a lot of the foods people commonly eat each day.

Seems like Bergen is a popular place to live for Opeth fans. Must be all the shitty weather...

The deal with weed is that its effects are unpredictable. The reactions to it vary greatly, which is why I personally hate it, and stay the hell away. It may not have too great an effect on some, so they may need to consume insane amounts to get a trip off of it, and that's when it really starts getting dangerous... but as has been said, any kind of consumption, even food is dangerous to an extent, albeit I don't think any are quite as unpredictable as weed is, because you just have no idea how you're going to react to it, because everyone's brain chemistry just differs that little bit, and that makes all the difference.

 

[Apocalyptic]

ive never tripped off of weed. its a good trip enhancer though waka waka waka (C# C B A#vibrato)

Yes, I've noticed here on the board, and at home... why oh why did they go to Stavanger

 

[commandante]

Let me say it again also, comparing weed's effects to health to junk food is bullshit and absolutely pointless period

Very good question! They better come to Bergen some time!

i would rather smoke pot then be a fatfuck. where do you get your information source, anti-drug.com? sgksgkjg. if your going by safe, i suppose water is the only safe substance out there. but there could be horseshit in the water. if theres horseshit in the water, then your health would be bad. it would be naughty. i have a friend who smokes horseshit. i packed horseshit into a bowl and he hit from it and asked if it was skunk weed. i said no, you just inhaled horseshit. then he died laughing. do you believe me? if you eat a horseshit load of chocolate faily often, than your health would be horseshit aswell. so my suggestion: eat horseshit because in 90 years everyone will be horseshit on the ground next to another pile of horseshit. i would rather be the horseshit that smoked pot and experimented than the horseshit that died from a heartattack from chocolateshit. but do you believe the horseshit story?

 

[osse87]

I live just outside Bergen, really. Hjelteryggen. 15 minutes away from the city centre. Opeth in Bergen = win !

Goddamn trolls.


To date, I have not heard of cannabis use sparking panic attacks. The problem most likely lies in something psychological, as has been covered ad nauseum so far in this thread. While it's possible that Martin's cannabis use aggravates his current emotional troubles (if indeed he has them), but that would mean that his panic attacks must occur when he's under the effects of the drug. I don't have enough information to know if such a corelation exists or not.

Apocalyptica: Shut the fuck up, cherry.
