It's a very old and aicient technique of reaching a higher state of consciousness. And is still used to this day. Commen people do it and it's bad. Why? They don't want you high, they want you low. Tok tok
I find it amusing that people still think drugs can help you reach a higher state of consciousness, or enhanced reality. It's simply an altered state. If you want to find true inspiration, it's to be found in clarity, or a beautiful woman....Hendrix would at least agree with the beautiful woman part:

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but the fact that you keep referring to him as "Jimmy", rather than "Jimi", kind of speaks to a credibility issue.

It was the massive amounts of '___' he was taking. Nothing more.
I just find it a little disheartening when otherwise intelligent folks outright dismiss the possibility of chemically-induced ENHANCED perception, without seeming to give it much thought or study. And yes, I've used '___', etc.

what are you on about?
"keep" refering? I think I've mentioned his name once in my responce. Big flipping deal... I added 1 extra M. Im not the greatest speller in the world. Oh damn, if only we were all such the stickler... I dont think we'd have time to make posts. We'd be far too busy checking each other's spelling.
oh yeah... No Y though, so..... again.. what are you on about?
I think Jimmi, even though I'm a fan, is a great deal OVERrated.

Ive been watching to see how many songs are used as refrences. Considering that the drummer wrote most of the music, I think Jimmi, even though I'm a fan, is a great deal OVERrated.
He could play a right handed guitar upside down and lefthanded. For a left handed person, this isnt very hard to do. The first time I learned how to play ONE from Metallica, was on my friends left hander. I'm a righty.
He didnt write most of his stuff, the drummer did.
He used alot of drugs, and often those same drugs will make you see things that are not real.
no, I didnt say, see things that are real that you couldnt see before... but things that are NOT real and not really there.
I have also done '___'... LOTS of it. Folks really should understand, the drug induced visions are just that... Drug Induced... And not visions at all anymore than imagination of an already doped up mind. It may allow you to think in a diffrent way (I found that Acid tends to screw you up for life because of this... You seldom can ever come to one serious conclusion without a million other "well.. but, though"s for a very long time. After a while, your brain attempts to be normal again and you realise where you were the idiot all the while.
