I would hope not. Talk about the worst time to add stress to one's life!

I think you should try it out. It would make you feel better, and you wouldn't have to add those haughty eye-rolling smilies.

Yes, definitely. They distroyed him. In 1980 he looked like Paul during the Flaming Pie era.   Easily.  

Well... Paul always looks like he's wearing Makeup to me, and I kinda disagree, I've seen him, and he looked like a 40 year old to me.Maybe a 45 year old, you know,but not like someone who's 55(?) years old.

Quoted from Chris

I thought it was extremely hypocritical that Paul talked about quitting cigarettes in so many interviews, and yet carried on smoking pot. That's so much worse for you... (I figured it was the combination of pot and perfectly content domesticity that made Paul's solo music so vacuous and uninteresting, with a couple notable exceptions that serve as flukes in the big picture. Some songwriters need things a bit manic around them to come up with really inventive stuff, it would seem.)

Well, I disagree with most of this.  In My Opinion, Smoking weed isn't as bad as smoking cigarretes, and if it were then it wouldn't be "so much worse".  Marijuana doesn't have all those chemicals while ciggies do, and weed isn't as addictive as cigarretes are. I Understand, inhaling smoke directly into your lungs isn't too good for you, but still. I agree with maybe the domesticity, but Paul made his best music when he was well into drugs.

I would love for you to prove me wrong, I've been wrong many times before, and I hope you don't think all this is me bashing you, I really wanna hear your opinion.

i think on top of the fags and drugs the whole macrobiotic diet probably played a big part in his premature ageing.

Quoted from Beatles

...weed isn't as addictive as cigarretes are.

This I agree with (obviously), but those who use it for prolonged periods in spite of its less addictive properties tend to forget trivial little things, like their kids' names.

So I guess I should've been clear: by "more dangerous," I mainly meant mentally (I think it's probably about the same on the lungs -- I've heard pot smokers cough, and it ain't pretty!) -- i.e. in regards to devising inventive music. Weed tends to make the smoker okay with being lazy, and makes mediocre things sound great. Admittedly, it's all conjecture on my part, albeit based on the experiences of friends who've quit weed in the past for palpable reasons; perhaps Paul just got boring because he thrived on the friendly competition with John, and the weed's a red herring. But hash sure messed with Brian Wilson, playing a major part in his failure to complete Smile (according to his own words), so I tend to never discount drugs when a formerly amazing songwriter grows complacent. It's just something to take into account when considering such topics, rather than my thinking I know everything.
