Why do you smoke Marijuana? -- Well Im naturally i high strung character,going 90 miles a hour always..so smoking weed keeps me calm,I dont like being "high strung" its too much for me,so smoking keeps me level haeded and easy to deal with.
Who else in the band smokes? -- Everyone,there are the "smokers" and there are the "part time smoker's",Me Brad Chan,Josh,and Matt are the "heavy smokers".
Why do you think Marijuana should be legal? -- For alot reason's for the one reason it would always be readily available to smokers and would keep innocent people out of jail.The only reason they wont make it legal is because its such a overgrown plant,it grows in every climate ,the system would have no way to control cultivation or sales,hence no way to tax the "product".A set of laws put in place allowing residential "farmers" to grow a certain ammount would be a good start.Crime would def decrease at least "controlled substance" charges.
How often do you smoke? -- Every day,All day long,except on tour,on tour i cut back quit a bit,sticking to the rules of smoking only after the show,I have so much shit to do on tour on a daily basis so i gotta cut back a lil..dont hold it against...I feel so bad sometimes cause people know im huge smoker and when they come up to me before the show and are like "wanna smoke?" I have to say no..but come find me after the show and ill smoke the shit out of your and my weed.
What do you like to do when you get high? -- Make music,thats my passion,nothing like writing your fucking stoned as hell,I write for smokers...Also I ride dirt bikes...especially stoned,ive had pro racers tell me no way will they get high and then get on a bike,and im glad they are being safe,but to me im always high so not being stoned and riding would make me eat it hard...ive tried it.
When did you first get high and what was it like? -- When i was fourteen,and i didnt really get stoned ,but the next week I smoked and got wasted,I swear i saw Elvis dancing in a tree stump siging "blue suede shoes".
Then I thought to myself "goddamnit finally a release".

What city has the best weed? -- Humboldt county California,those dudes up there really know what's goin' on.
What is your favorite method of smoking? -- Bong hits man,that is the way to go,get a 2 footer,fill it with some aquafina and icecubes and just get shredded..now dont get me wrong any way to get high is the right way but when i have a choice thats it.
