| Coolness: 103485 | thanks
I wonder if these drugs trigger a hidden talent of theirs...or they already have the skills and the substance was an inspiration. |

 Coolness: 201945 | Hunter S. Thompson (everything?)
But remember for every very creative person on drugs there are probably many more who do not have as much to show for their drug use... |

 Coolness: 686310 | Hey, remember when v0idsaq actually used to make good music?
Yeah, then he quit drugs. There's a big diffrence between having tallent and having it "brought out" by drugs, and having drugs just make you do stuff that seems like your enlightened/a genius and it actually just being the drugs talking. |

| Coolness: 72155 | we tend to draw on intense experience to communicate so that intensity can be seen in art because it causes immediate reaction |

| Coolness: 686310 | Getting punched in the face causes immediate reactions. It can stimulate extreme emotions of anger. Said extreme anger can be used to creat music.
Is it an excuse to punch people in the face? |

There's a big diffrence between having tallent and having it "brought out" by drugs, and having drugs just make you do stuff that seems like your enlightened/a genius and it actually just being the drugs talking. I would love to have a conversation with a drug, but I can't. Cuz drugs do not talk. There is no drug that can make anyone smarter, or more creative, or more loving then they themselves are capable of. I say this because drugs work by manipulating the release of pre-existing chemical transmitters within the brain. The obvious example would be MDMA, causing the release of serontonin. The drug doesn't give you serontonin (it would be great if it did), it simply activates what is already there. I beleive that can be said for drugs in general - they cannot create anything that doesn't already exist, however, they can aid in making use of one's mind to its fullest potential. In many cases, drugs may have a wonderous influence on an individual simply by making them aware of their inherent potential, instilling in them a sense of faith in their own ability. And having a positive self-image is one of the key factors of success. I'll try to illustrate this with a personal example. Most of my life, i've been convinced that I had absolutely no creative ability. I always considered myself smart, but in a stereotypical "left brain" fashion (ie good at math + physics, and the like). So, naturally, I never devoted any time or effort to expressing myself creatively, because I beleived that to do so would be fruitless. I never imagined or intended that using psychedelics would contribute in any way to my (lack of) creativity. Somehow, despite the best inhibiting attempts of my conscious mind, some wonderous ideas surfaced within me during psychedelic voyages. These experiences didn't make me creative overnight. What they did, however, was convince me that I had been underestimating my creative potential for most of my life. Now that I beleive that I do have the ability to be creative, I've been devoting much more of my effort to developing that ability. I'm not yet an excellent writer, photographer, or anything else. But I will be. And its only because of drug-induced experiences that I've even bothered to try. |
