Dude,

Before you go full Spicoli check this out. Back in the day when I was in my first garage band, (late s70's), we would sometimes get high before we practiced. (Actually. it would be more accurate if I said sometimes we "didn't" get high before we practiced). Anyway, two of the guys in the band seemed to think we sounded great when we got baked and the other two, me included, thought it was better when we were not high. So, we recorded ourselves straight, and then again after we got high and played both versions for several of our friends. Everyone, even the two band members who thought we were great stoned, agreed that it was much better and tighter when we were straight.

My advice is to take the Pepsi challenge yourself. Get high and record yourself playing a song you know well, then put on a jam track and record some improvisation. Then do the same thing when you're unbent and see which sounds better...
