mindsurge asked: As an artist, have you ever used any forms of substances (hallucinogenic) to induce further creativity?

No, I’ve never used hallucinogenics to further creativity.

I’m not entirely against it, but don’t desire to employ them in that way… Also, this may not always be true, but on some level “drug”-art tends to look like other “drug”-art, and the concepts don’t seem to reach past the particular method of induction — it’s becomes About the hallucinogen.

This reminds me of Richard Feynman, as quoted in Surely You’re Joking…: “I love to think. I don’t want to screw up the machine.” Leary might disagree with that, but moderation is key, right?

I wonder why you ask?
