Like goboy, my drug days are far behind me. But every time I hear ‘Lakeside Park’ of ‘All the World’s a Stage’ by Rush, I want to spark one up. ---

Anything by **Traffic** or the **Beatles** in their drug music days. ---

The Wozard of Iz - (can’t remember by whom) 2. Anything by The Firesign Theatre. 3. Electric Ladyland - Jimi Hendrix 4. Atom Heart Mother - Pinkfloyd 5. In the Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson BTW, have you ever listened to classic Beach Boys stuff when spaced? ---

The White Album (especially Dear Prudence, really loud) Garcia/Grisman–their first album together (love that mandolin) Anything live by the Grateful Dead Junta by Phish Fables of the Reconstruction or Murmur by REM Days of Future Past by the Moody Blues (Normally this album sounds overblown and stupid, but for some reason, when high it just sparkles) Off the topic, I haven’t smoked in 3 years, and the one thing I miss about it is how cool music sounds when stoned. ---
