Yeah, I used to love having quad-shot breve latte and smoking a blunt. Kinda has the same effect of smoking a chewy, but with caffeine as the stimulant instead of coke.

Yeah, I like that flavor and the gingerberry is dank. The best kombucha I've ever tasted is this right here http://www.wonderdrink.com/kwd_info/drink_descriptions.
Find a store that sells it near you from their website but go to the store and have them special order a case for you if they don't already have it in backstock, because you'll love it once you have the first one.
My favorites are the pear and grape flavors.

I'm with juxt, you guys sound like you're drinking some wacky stuff I've never even heard of. I'll have to check it out.

On the original point:

I say "whatever" man. You can rely on whatever you want for inspiration, as much as you're comfortable with. If standing on your head in your underwear inspires more music, or makes you more creative, then go for it. Every time. Short of stabbing or beating the crap out of someone, anything you do to inspire yourself is OK. Of course, you could enjoy taking a karate class to inspire your music, in which case I guess it would be OK to beat someone up in class for inspiration. I've got a tiny replica of a cat made out of peat moss-- because of my Irish heritage-- that I think communicates the secret ancient songs of Irish nymphs to me. I don't like to play/practice without it sitting on the top left corner of my mixer. It's ridiculous, I know, but even that stupid little idea sometimes gives me some sort of inspiration. Why debate it?

To me, the real deal to remember is that all this stuff really comes from *you*. Any inebriation you use to inspire yourself is really just a filter that *you* still have to pass all ideas through. If that filter helps you, then thank God for weed, right? Music isn't like raising a family or running a dangerous machine, nothing really bad can happen because you were drunk or stoned behind "the box". There's not really any way to be irresponsible.

the way to make weed music is to remember to never use it as a crutch. a "high idea" is still an idea that comes inside of you, you just happened to be high when you thought of it. try setting your alarm for 4 am on a sunday to find out what you think about when you're totally strung out

no, i don't rely on weed when making music, but when i do toke up & make beats i find myself getting stuck with a sound & i just trip off of that sound & get side tracked... i guess it also depends on what type of shit that an individual is smoking... i do like toking up when i am cleaning up around the house or doin laundry, but i still get shit done even when i'm not high... i like listening to music while i'm high, especially some reggae shit...
