I do heroin, open Ableton, pick up my Martin and get lost in the infinite world of modern music creation.

I'm sure that'll end well.

  Of course. Most Martins are damn fine guitars.

    I agree. My D40 is the best I've ever had.

    I prefer Taylor myself.

  It's amazing that you're being downvoted. Heroin takes many lives daily and for someone to nonchalantly act like it's no bigger deal than having a beer is as naive as I could possibly ever imagine anyone to be. Edit: I guess as a disclaimer, seeing as I'm being downvoted too, I should mention I was addicted to opiates for many years

    one of my best friends was a heroin addict after highschool. then my ex-wife's best friend was a heroin addict as well.... I called my friend, who had successfully killed the habit (he now build super high-end guitar peddles) and asked him for advice on how to help then-wifes friend. he said, nope - they can only help themselves. she OD'd and died. that sucked. however, unrelated to the sad story of ex's friend... we are pranksters (our dads owned two competing companies and forbade us from being friends, thus we became good friends) I took a pic of a sign from Alameda, Ca along Clement street... The sign said: "Tracks no longer in service" (I SENT THIS BEFORE THE FRIEND STORY HAPPENED, just FYI)

      Not sure I understood the sign prank, but I'm sorry about the friend.

        It was a sign saying that the train tracks along that street were no longer in service. A sign of heroin use is "tracks" (needle puncture marks on ones arrm or body where they mainlined heroin injections) So I sent him the pic of the sign as an acknowledgement that he succeeded in kicking the habit of heroin use... --- A band we listened to growing up, Skinny Puppy, their lead singer Ogre, wasa heroin addict... he kicked the habit, and when my friend got married, Skinny Puppy played at their wedding. My buddy actually works for another band person we grew up listening to, from Ministry....

    you overcame an actual heroin addiction but can't deal with people joking about it on the internet?

      1. It isn't obvious — and hasn't been clarified — that was a joke. 2. Going through a harrowing experience usually toughens one up to the causing elements, sure. Being tough about X doesn't mean you should see every reference to X as a joke; quite the opposite, in fact.
