i disagree with the statement "drugs just make you more of who you already
are", and state the massive articles out there on ritalin as my supporting
argument.
i *do* believe that chemical use can lower inhibition, and since a lot of
current lifestyles center around very straightlaced patterns and stress
situations, such a "letting loose" helps in lowering inhibitions of a
creative person locked in a non-creative lifestyle.
but it's the same as people saying "i'm going out to the country to do some
writing". they're getting away to let their creative sides come
out. whether this is a form of escapism or not is up for debate (although
likely not on this list), but the truth is that the creative side has
always been there. they just don't find a way to express it in their
"normal" lifestyle, and often need to find some way to either a) lower
inhibitions or b) escape in order to express their creativity.
later on cats!
Dk!
