well i get high and it doesnt keep me down, to me this is like him saying that all marijuana users are just fooling themselves and that we shouldnt smoke because it is no good.
i find that to be misleading information and i am against that.
Those intangibles aren't related to music, more to selling records. What does selling records really mean. An artist can reach multi-platinum and still write shit music. If you never heard about his views on marijuana previously, how would you know his stance? The essence of music has no face, no PR, just expression. This is me personally, but I rather not know nothing about an artist before listening to it.

40oz explained the meaning of "if you're trying to stay high, then you're bound to stay low" best.

I love ganja much as everyone here does. But I won't let my views interfere into what I listen to. If it's good music, it's good music.
