    My dad (im 15) Has a sad addiction to heroine. I love him with all of my heart too. Let me tell you right now man, that it takes a sad weak mind to do drugs. It aborts your family, friends, AND yourself. However though, It does NOT mean you are a bad person. My father happens to be my hero, a great artist too, even though he made those mistakes of drugs. He is now in rehab and being released Sunday. Sorry for the troubles. Just thought i would share with you... Peace.

    henry didn't condemn anybody for doing drugs he's just stating the facts that drugs and alcohol are bad for you which is true he's just advising you not to not telling you not to.

  • @ZombieTex1
    @ZombieTex1 12 років тому +28

    Henry is 100% right about drugs and alcohol. The human mind itself produces endorphins which can get you high as a kite, you just gotta know how to unlock them. Some people get a "runner's high". Some people get an "adrenaline rush". Some people can get high off or ART, that's what I do. Not looking at art, but making it. If you can figure out what your medium is, you're set! I'm a writer. I once stayed up for 2 days strait writing a book because the writing experience was getting me so pumped.

    the reason henry rollins doesn't need drugs is that he just has no impulse control. there's a video of him chewing out two of his 11 year old fans. the reason people a lot of people drink is so that they can kind of feel like doing whatever occurs to them without being worried about regret, or whatever. he obviously doesn't have that issue

    "Lets face it, drugs make your feel...better. And as long as people want to feel better, somebody is going to show up with them..." Lemmy. When are we going to realize the drug problem in the world is not drugs...its people and their experience?

    • @dingdongism
      @dingdongism Рік тому

      That line from Lemmy, and what you added at the end, is spot on. We use substances to escape, but so few are asking why are so many people looking to escape, and what are we trying to escape from? Widespread substance use is an indictment of our entire society and culture. It’s so much easier to demonize people that fall down than to take a cold, hard look at a world that basically pushes people to the ground.

  • @zimonslot

    Creativity comes from personality. Not drugs. That type of personality often seek drugs, but it's not the drugs that create. If you gave the worlds dullest accountant a shitload of xtc/LSD/heroine/whatever he still wouldnt be able to make great art. That talent is already there in the person. Drugs don't make art, people do.

    in that case i'll agree to an extent, i'm 17 and i've had plenty of experiences with a wide array of psychedelics, and in my opinion they're great, but shouldn't be given as much credit as they usually are given. I will say that it's good i did them simply for the purpose of depleting some of that wanderlust regarding drugs as an adolescent, but after hurting my brain i've come to realize that the most important things i got from the drugs were obtainable naturally. Now i write better music

    this is really cool but also really applies to the concept of "drugs etc" in north american culture. which is very juvenile and into the excess. alot of the authors, artist and musicians who inspire rollins used these "drugs" and alcohol to get to that exact point - which has benefited from and has gained such a perspective

    He would probably would still have been a musician, but he would not have been the GREAT innovator and craftsman of mind bending soundscapes that he was. The drugs did that. There's no doubt. He took that shit for a reason. Take the drugs away and he's likely just another decent guitar player in an average band. Even painters, and sculptors took drugs. It isn't limited to musicians.

    @SCROGY I contend that Hendrix became great and innovative in spite of LSD, not because of it and that he would have achieved more with his life and almost certainly lived a longer life if he had stayed away from alcohol and other mind altering drugs. If you believe that LSD for a musician is similar to steroids or other performance enhancing drugs for an athlete, then how do you explain that for every musical success that uses LSD there are many multiples of successful musicians not using LSD?

    I like Rollins for the powerful impact he had on music, and he has a lot of fascinating and hilarious stories to tell. But on the subject of "drugs" (a really meaningless word when you think about it), he's always come off as a sanctimonious hypocrite. It's not that he indulged in acid a few times (at the bidding of Chuck Dukowski) in the early 80's; it's more that the man basically lived on caffeine for decades. News flash Henry: caffeine's a drug.

    @SCROGY Drugs did help technology, or at least for Steve Jobs, it did. He dropped out of college and started taking LSD. He's quoted as saying, "Doing LSD was one of the two or three most important things I have done in my life." Plus, Francis Crick discovered the DNA helix while on LSD. Not trying to debate or say anyone's wrong. Just throwing out a few facts. :)

I have experienced many different kinds of drugs over the last 17 years and i have never had a single negative experience from any. These days i am pro drugs a master of all drugs and a slave to none. Mind over matter will prevent any addiction !

    Nope. I don't drink caffeinated beverages. I pretty much only drink water. Sometimes I'll have some fruit juice, but it's rare.
