It might be what you are smoking(Indica, Sativa, Hybrid) that makes or breaks your productivity go up in smoke. I know when I spend money at a dispensary, I ask the budtender what has the highest THC count. I walk out with as much of that strain that I could afford, and I don’t ever buy the weaker strains.
I’m reaching the point where I want to spend less on weed, more on my studio. I bought half a ounce of grounded weed from my dad for $20. That half a oz is plenty for myself. But if I share it with friends, then it runs out much quicker. I love blunts as well, but that really eats up my supply of my stash. So I have to discipline my spending habits. It can be one, or the other, but right now I can’t afford to do both in one paycheck.
Now, as far as beat making high, it can be a double edged sword. If I get off work, I’m already exhausted as it is. I’ll have some dinner, and if I smoke too much, I don’t feel like making beats, plugging in cables, or any of that. Because I’ll just reach that point where my body just wants to watch tv & zonk out. Can’t really make a beat without energy. So on my days off, I like to sit down & make a drum pattern, maybe make a BassLine, or mess with FX & come up with different sounds. I might take 1 puff, and my mind will be opened up to the results. I don’t really save the results that often high or sober. I don’t have a traditional DAW even, so it’s mainly just things I’ve bought over the years. As long as I feel inspired, I keep at it. When I’m not feeling it, I stop. I unplug all the gear, and I chill to tv.
So at least I’m aware of what happens if I’m too stoned. Nothing. So I would suggest just make a beat sober, and one where you had a puff or two. Also, you might want to spend less on weed if you’re saving up for your studio gear. Because at the end of the day, when the weed becomes ash, you’ve already wasted your cash. But once you buy any gear, it’s yours. You can use it, or not. So you might be as broke as me & have to make your choice.
I do love weed, and I love beat making, and I try to do both. But it’s not always easy to do both.
