my motivation to make music came back when I discontinued weed use. I'll go back to weed at some point because I'm much more content in life with it, but for now I'm going to make the best of my current motivation. Maybe write an album or something and then get back to the stoned lifestyle later once I do a few of the things I was always just thinking about while stoned. So maybe quit the hash for awhile and see what happens?
I Agree with the others who suggested a high dose trip. It may not even be enjoyable, but you'll make much more progress with it then doing routine low dose trips. In fact, I think tripping or doing any drug routinely can keep you stuck...
Good luck...hope you find your inspiration

Um, what the fuck? Please tell me that you didn't do this.
to me this sounds like a troll thread

Just don't pull a Terence McKenna and make the same "mistake" he did.
In other words don't make a shitty album that you don't realize is shitty until you finally take a puff of that good stuff again. Or I guess more accurately; don't be surprised if that album doesn't sound so great when you start smoking weed again. Sometimes even sobriety can be over-intoxicating.

well making a shitty album is better than making no album at all. Just like doing something is better than doing nothing as long as youre not hurting anyone else in the process. And besides, the best way to progress in life is to learn from your mistakes. If I make a shitty album, at least I'll have gotten it out and can move on..maybe to make a better one or even to realizing that music isn't my thing. Then I'll put my efforts to something else. Only way to find out is to do it though.

I used to spend quite a few hours working on digital workstations to try to compose music, and now I don't feel the music anymore. In fact, it kind of pisses me off. Noise in general. How do I go from inspired musical artist, to annoyed at all sound?
Need better music now likely. Trip more. The mushrooms raise your game, eventually.

Yeah that's why I put "mistake" in quotes because in some or most cases it was probably meant to be.

I mean at least regarding your own self, which is what we're talking about. Self improvement. But I understand what you're saying. If it were physical thing, like actual trash, taking up physical space, which is limited, I'd agree with you...better not to add to the garbage heap. But since Idealand is infinite, who cares if you need to expel some mental rubbish to get to the good stuff?

Um, This! You ok buddy? You know the alcoholism has to go right? I mean, being healthy and living a poor life with nothing is better then being an active addict or alcoholic. Maybe you drop the booze and your love for music will come back in like a few months then you can pursue it with clarity and vigor? Only wishing you health ! Seek some help if you need a hand. Dont give up ever. Death comes anyways, so enjoy your damn time ok? Dont cut it short with the booze or with suicide. It'll end anyways and the pain in life will seem like a dream that never really happened, like the memory of last weeks breakfast ya know? I want you to fail and fail again and get stronger, and better from it with your music, that is the only way of the genuine musician. Like I said it'll all be over soon, go for it, without the booze and self-destruction and hatred. It'll feel lighter that way. Been there man, you got this.
