Is it just me or is it a common thing that you can't dj, while you're high from grass, or such?
I just can't match the beats, very frustrating.

i feel you on that one djones.... i get slopy if I spin high. I still do an ok job but I dont feel that im gave my 100%. Ill keep the beats matched but it just takes me a little longer and Ill mis eq during a mix
but if i have some drinks ill allways feel like I played the best set of life
so yea its not just you

go back in time and learn to dj while high. I was talking to a friend who is part of a reputable crew of djs producers and organizers. He told me that when he was young and leaning how to mix they told him if you are gonna do it you are gonna do it right.. in this case this meant to play pretty far out there everytime from the begining now its his choice but he never has any problems so ya i think practice is the ticket. Anytime i try, computer screens and knobs seem really silly to me. so i end up turning them for fun rather than being strategic.  But ya i may have a beer or two but i mainly just smoke pre-rolled cigarettes it seems to work pretty well. I know others that just put any vitamins and supplements into a water bottle and sip as need be to better control how healthy they get. The only problem with the entek way is that sometimes when you play in the morning by the time you are done with your set its too late. but ya know partying straight is really rewarding.

By the way, I found some nice tutorials about beatmatching, but do you guys know where I could find a nice one about using EQ in your mix ? |

well i never mixed while not high on thc, and i don't have problems with that, so my advise is... never mix sober and you'll be alright!

in the beggining i was very unconfident,but eventualy i ended up having no problem playing stoned.on the other hand,having four drinks makes you think you had your best dj set ever(booze=full ego boost) as rogerthat already mentioned.also alcohool helps you having a more fancy apearance on stage(arms waving and other poser stuff jejejeje)
on my last set i was totally stoned and i was very anxius because i was playing with the pioneer 200 for first time,and their wheel is very unfunctional(nothing like the 100's or 1000's) so the first half hour i had some problems(stress,not technique) but eventually everything was okk

When i started out mixing i was preety 'wappie' througout every set, so it is no problem for me to mix while i'm high. But after i while i discovered that it's like driving with the brakes on and now i'm pretty much sober when i play out. But it does feel unfair if you have to play in the morning and have to stay sober while everyone is in there and out there doesn't it ? |

yea,sorry i didnt want it to seems like i am promoting alcohool.i usually have maximum 3 drinks.relaxing a bit,but also having the control!though i have noticed some times that while djing(especially if there is some tense in the whole story,many people dancing an stuff) the"drunkness effect is kind of biger and more tense

It's all about practice, practice and practice
If you are an habitual smoker then you don't usually get spaced out from smoking, and rather get more focused in my experience.
But if you smoke rarely and get confused when you smoke obviously it's a bad idea to smoke before a set.
Alcohol can be nice in small amounts if you tend to get nervous, but more than 2-3 beers is bad for me at least.
I think shrooms is very good in small amounts before a set.
In normal doses you kind of feel like laying down and get a bit introvert and spaced out, but in small doses it has the opposite effect and you get energised and very clear headed.
