Drugs knock down inhibitions, things we normally wouldn't say or do. So it'd be logical to assume that we delve into subjects a little more headlong then otherwise when on drugs.
That creative spark is within everyone, drugs can (to an extent) nourish, fuel, and exterminate that spark. Notice how a jib tek teks? How you can 'at one' on mushrooms? see a completely different side of things on Ketamine, etc? Also, drugs cause certain parts of the brain to work more intensely when subjected to particular intoxicants. Again, logically speaking, i imagine drugs can highten certain parts of the brain that one would associate with 'creativity'.

^your absolutely right. There's a huge difference between long and short term exposure in regards to negative effects on the brain.
The human body, currently, isn't designed to run in the outer edges of the mind. Drugs can have positive effects,like amphetamine use in the airforce to assist pilots in long flight times. The body is, essentially, pumped full of a speed based drug, tricking the body into releasing more adrenaline. During brief exposure, the pilot is more aware of his surroundings as well as his reaction time decreased to certain events. Prolonged exposure however, will cause aggresive and, eventually, psychotic behaviour. Medical science too; aspirin is a drug Also, nothing is for free. Those pilots will still feel like shit after a flight, having spent resources and nourishment which can only be replenished with that; sleep and food, something no drug can provide. It differs, from effect of each drug to another, but it's pretty much the same deal. Last edited by Goat; Sep 15, 04 at 08:06 AM.

Most deffinately.
for creative writings, we have Ken Kessey, Oliver Stone, and William Blake is the best example. Music.. SRV, Clapton, Roger Waters, Hendrix... too many acting.. Pacino, Kauffman.. Painting.. again blake and many more. i think Drugs infact inhances creativity in many ways. The down part is all the people listed above did not, or will not really live that long. and usually become fucked up at some point in their lives.

I don't know. Most of the stuff I've done creatively on drugs has been very, very sub-optimal. I do better when I'm not high. Yet the insight I gain up in the stratosphere is really useful when I come back down.
Richard D James (aka Aphex Twin) feels the same way, according to a couple of interviews of his I read. There can be useful times: I reconstructed my entire reality independantly of my existance on acid once, gave me a huge level of insight. E has always been great for helping me fine tune my social ability, and so on.
