What drug inspired more art.

[Swede]

Poll question: What drug inspired more art.

From Ozzie's "Snow Blind", to Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing,some of our best artist's muse really came out when they loaded on something. Post any examples you can think of.

1. I used to live in a house full of artists

anything from painting to writing to music, you name it. None of them were as creative when they were tripping on acid, or when they were sleep deprived.

9. whatever the fuck

Hendrix was on

12. Inspiration is not creativity, tho

I've had many an inspiring acid trip, but the creativity that proceeded from said inspiration usually came a day or so afterwards.

2. Gordon Lightfoot wrote some beautiful songs

when he did some serious drinking.

3. I've found that drinking

can be very inspiring, or very disasterous (sp?)

8. I love lightfoot eom

4. Booze (even though it's not my drug of choice)

5. None ,as great art comes from the mind and not drugs.

Look at Rothko his art was killed by his drinking.

6. But you cannot deny the inspiration of alter reality.

7. How 'bout absinthe?

Van Gogh, Seurat, Gauguin, Rimbaud, and just about any other prominent French literary or visual artist you can name in the late nineteenth century were all worshippers of the green goddess.

11. I belive it killed them and the art not bring it on.

You have the cart before the horse to my way of thinking. Absinthe rotted their brains.Gauguin and Van Gogh were unstable and I am not sure about the other two. Not that this takes from thier great art but maybe they could have done more, with out the drugs. Live longer anyhow.

10. I would say Heironymus Bosch

was he was into moldy rye bread because they didn't have LSD in 1490.
