Josh500 1,615 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 For me, it is, and I've only recently come to fully understand what it actually does to me and what it means to me personally while going through life (only good things, and no side effects). 1. It actively elevates your mood and disposition, actively changes it for the better (and sometimes worse). Whenever I feel sad, depressed, or I am generally in a foul mood, music helps. A LOT. When listening to the right music, I can go from feeling blue to triumphant or happy or ecstatic in an instant (or vice versa, if you listen to a scary or sad piece of music). 2. I have withdrawal symptoms if I go some time without it, say a whole day or two. In other words, it's highly addictive. 3. It's not free, and it's not that cheap, either. Your equipment (depending on how good you want it to be) and the music itself. Also, if you have a special interest like "film scores," it can be very expensive indeed! So yeah, it's definitely a drug for me. Fortunately, the only drug I consume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will use music to elevate or sedate, to energise or to wallow. To be very rooted in my body, or to space out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 452 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 It can be therapeutic, but likening it to a drug is grasping at straws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh500 1,615 Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 It is a LEGAL drug, that's the good thing. And no hangover, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Pot is legal, even in certain states of the USA soon. And it doesn't give you a hangover. Nice idea Josh, but you completely don't have a clue what you are on about by making the comparison. Dixon Hill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was walking down the street with my friend and he said "I hear music", as if there is any other way you can take it in. You're not special, that's how I receive it too. I tried to taste it but it did not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,327 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Music can be torture too, you know. There's just too much music! It's everywhere! And it doesn't stop! Silence is the drug. Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,508 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Agreed, that's why I hardly ever listen to music when on a train, or bus, or walking, or when I drive to work. The absence of music can be just as therapeutic as its presence. A24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
