bdp24, you say that a significant percentage of history’s greatest composers, musicians, writers, and painters had severe mental and/or emotional problems, as well as drink and drug problems.
Well, yeah, that's because a significant percentage of the population has always had those issues. Taking drugs to alter your mind and reality is a stupid dangerous thing to do, before you even add up all of the overdose deaths.
Some here want to embrace the abuse of one's own body as long as they like the resulting "art". What a sad statement of your own mindset. I wouldn't be surprised if it was music industry executives that wanted their stars on drugs so the music might sell better. Anything for a buck.
