I don't want to see any of you using such things. We have the HUB and that ought to be plenty for any writer.

Don't do it. Drugs don't enhance creativity, they destroy lives.

Harlan Ellison, one of the strangest people and best writers of some really strange fiction, doesn't do drugs, doesn't drink, doesn't anything. (Yeah, he's really like that.)

You don't need it.

In Japan I get the International Herald Tribune, which is basically the NYT for overseas, and read this yesterday. Funny stuff.

But, Aldous Huxley was stoned almost his entire life, and is viewed as one of the best writers of the 20th Century (but not by me, I think he was a hack, and Brave New World was crap ).
