Is weed creativity a meme?
Should I waste my opiates on reading?

Recommend this on the subject. Both were members of the Assassin's Club which was basically the first dude weed lmao fanclub. Gautier embraces it, Baudelaire rejects it, each has their reasons.

Doing drugs is a degenerate meme. Only wannabe wiggers, self-aggrandizing faggots, or full blown addicts do it. There is no middle ground. The overzealous attempts to ascribe positive benefits to drug use is the mark of a delusional child who can't accept that he or she is a loser. It's all a meme

When I was in highschool I did quite a few. Loads of psychedelics. But after highschool once I got real responsibilities I couldn't do shrooms or acid without a clear mind. So I did mdma, cocaine and shit like that. Haven't done drugs for years though. Even quit pot. Shit just started giving me anxiety.

for the most part drugs are a distraction in writing. a little weed can give you the focus needed to access your creativity, but if you have any discipline you won't need that. alcohol i find shuts my creative mind down completely. i become bored with writing, and once i start i just want to drink more.

I'm a photographer and I notice when I am high on weed I take way more pictures and a lot more seems worth photographing. It doesn't make my pictures any better I just sort of see plain shit in a nicer way. It's weird. I'd take pictures I normally wouldn't take. But they aren't any better. So yeah I don't know.

actually drugs are pretty fun and depending on who you are not that addicting.

I have an adderall prescription for fiction (but what you gain in focus you lose in ability to daydream and let moods and feeling wash over you) and for poetry I love percocets and opioids in general, they really increase your sensitivity to beauty and the music of words. Weed works well for poetry too, but you get a bit whimsical and geared towards humor.

Everything else, from my experience, just makes you too dumb to read or write. Never tried to microdose but I feel it wouldn't be that different from weed.

No, doing drugs is degenerate. You're either a nigger, (unlikely if you're browsing Veeky Forums) or you are one of those appalling dude bros who's life isn't going to be worth jackshit in ten years time.

>delusional child who can't accept that he or she is a loser.
What if I like drugs and know I'm a loser
I also don't know what self-aggrandizing means

Writers that don't do drugs end up writing new yorker fiction.
