Original FOMG Blog: Igor's 15 Min Break "Weed: The Social Drug"
I was at a studio session with @fillmorerich3 and @itsthacannon. Rich was doing a verse for a client. Normally these sessions are quick and we do very
little socializing. This session was different.
As soon as we walked into the studio, the smell of smoked weed was in the air. The first thing I noticed was a big glass jar filled with weed. A conversation was instantly started by all of us. "What kinda tree you got?" followed by another "what bout you, what you got?"
When Rich was done recording, we stayed for another 15 minutes or so just to chat about the trees and other things that came up. This is something that usually doesnt happen when Rich does paid verses!
Its crazy how a drug that really makes you quiet can be so social. I know in high school, I made a lot of friends because of weed. A lot of the people I prolly would have never talked to otherwise.
Me and Rich went to middle school with a kid that I never got along with for all 3 years in middle schoo
l. On 420 of my senior year in high school I ran into dude on a fluke and we blew a couple chops and we been coo ever since.
Thats why they were poppin all that peace shhh in the 60s and 70s. Everyone was getting high.
Maybe its just an ice breaker but so many people smoke weed. All walks of life. I had meetings at the Green Door several times. Before I get to meet with the owner, I usually have to wait in front room. Within 15 minutes ive seen every race that exists on earth and every age group. Weed is so universal and brings people together. Usually its people you least expect that are brought to you. There are a couple of friends that I made strictly because of weed.
Next time ur burnin one, take a second to think about the people in your life and how many of them ur friends with because of weed! Just something to think about.
Well Im bout to hop on one of them planes and I aint commin down for a minute!
