Can't make good beats unless without weed. Quit smoking or q

Alright, I know the topic is pretty ridiculous, but I feel like the best beats i've made are made when I smoke some weed. When I'm not high, ideas don't seem to come to me and all of my stuff doesn't sound unique at all..

Does anyone else have this problem?

Quit smoking or quit producing?

Neither.

Get creative when you've had a smoke and get clinical with the mix when you haven't.

REMEMBER KIDZ...

DRUGS DON'T MAKE YOU CREATIVE, THEY MAKE YOU "THINK" YOU'RE CREATIVE!

I recently stopped smoking weed for a while. Haven't made a lot of beats in that time, and the stuff i made didn't inspire me at all. I don't know how much truth there is to this, but you got a point here.

Weed works as an enhancer of your brain in some ways, so it's very well possible that for some people it can improve creativity.

Last night after smoking again... i was hit by inspiration and made some of the dopest ish i've made in a while.

Just sayin'.

Weed flows in my bloodstreams but I like to be sober when I make a beat. Sometimes a dope beat high can sound like shit later.

I prefer to make beats sober and when its complete, then I spark a spliff, enjoy the high and enjoy the beat.

But when I get up on the mic, yeah I'm stoned.

^^^THIS

you've probably just made too many beats while you were high, so you're used to that experience... it probably isn't true that you can't be creative without it, you probably are just mixing up being creative with being high.... if the question is really quit smoking or quit producing....... then the question is retarded but............ just do both at different times i guess until you can handle it...

Smokin doesn't effect how well I put my tracks together... but it definitely helps me when I'm goin through records. I could listen to an album sober and not hear anything to sample. Give me that same record while I'm blowed and I'll find a shit load of samples. On the flip side of that... if I'm sober I can play keys over the sample. But when I'm high I play all the wrong chords (I play by ear) and think that shit cold... until I listen sober and realize how high I had to be to play that badly.

i also support this strategy .. but yeah i can cut a track with or without the herb and find they're solid either way. it's more of a mental thing .. smoking is just a lifestyle so i kind of do anything with it ..

my beats are dope although I never smoked weed. probably I should try it to bring my beats to a HIGHER level. lol

i get lazy when i blz, i like getting high off my music man.

but there have been instances, where ill chop my samples, play my sequenced drums, and blz and jam out with the pad samples1!

Neither.....keep them both flowing....its the healing of the nation

Not crazy at all. It can allow you to look at things from a different angle that's all. Practice making beats both ways if you can though.

i never work on beats when im high...only when im straight. i obviously listen to my work and other music when im high, but never work when im high.

i dont like the thought of "well, i was high when i made that" or "i have to be high to make 'good' beats"
