They used to smoke crack a lot, now they smoke pot AFTER a days recordings when listening back to what they've done to "hear it from a different perspective"(according to Omar).

Don't do the crack anymore, If you knew anything about them, you would know of the people they lost to drugs, and there was a pact etc for them to give up (I'm talking Omar, Cedric and I think Jeremy) who was one of their friends who died.
Omar and cedric DID succeed though.

Jus tokers now so they say
jonny Reviewed by jonny on . The Mars Volta Great band. I definately recommend you all go out and listen to 'De-Loused in the Comatorium'. My favorite album to get stoned to. It a new genre basically. Neo-Psyschodelic/Crazy Prog-Rock. Great stuff, type that into google images and see the band members ahah. Definatley drug influenced. More than just pot. Rating: 5
