WATCH "TIME TO PRETEND" BELOW

Brooklyn-based electro-pop duo MGMT make sure they puff prior to hitting the stage.

Andrew VanWynngarden (right in photo): We'd been playing sober for a long time. Not sober, but we didn't smoke pot. We realized that when we smoked pot we're more relaxed and get into the music a little more and just kind of laid back, so we started smoking pot before we play.

MGMTThat helps?

Ben Goldwasser (left in photo): Yeah, vastly.

Do you have pot on your rider?

Andrew: We do, but it doesn't always come through.

What do you do then?

Andrew: We ask around.

Ben: We had an opening band that smoked pot before every single show.

Andrew: They're a really good band called Verdana. We played with them in Switzerland.

Ben: It was the first show they ever played where they didn't smoke pot before the show and they got into a fight on stage. They just couldn't take it. They were knocking over cymbals.

Andrew: It was really funny.

Ben: Powerful show, but they weren't happy with it.

I personally love MGMT and i dont think anyone should criticize them in any way. I do not see anything wrong with smoking pot and it makes the show far more entertaining. You get way more into it and i say rock on and i love you guys=]
