Artists and drugs

Why are so many artists into drugs? Personally I feel sorry for people who are conciously present when creating. I also tend to think we can't really give them full credit because they were high! I see drugs as imprisonment of creative energy eventually and thereby

I don't get drug use at all. I don't even care what they use it for, fact is, it's an unnatural state of consciousness. Yesterday I watched an episode of Dr Phil & he was doing a drug intervention on a model. This girl was a finalist on America's next top model. Her skin was horrible due to drug use. Her teeth rotting & crumbling withing her mouth. Very saddening to watch. They can say whatever they like, the drug users, but they can deny that drugs have very bad side effects because they go against the body's natural function. They aren't for consumption the lot of them, hence all the damage they do in a human body. I even heard that withdrawals can cause internal organs to shut down. That's scary.

Strudel I used to do whisky back then lol, I stopped because somewhere down the line it started smaelling like vomit. on the topic I aslo think drugs defeat the ends/purpose of creativity which (to me) are about mastering and calling on one's mind to create something. i also think the need to be happy all the time is feuling the drug obsesion, personally I can live with just a bit of happiness in my life. being drunk and high makes one sloppy eventually all the fun goes but you still need more drugs.

People always describe drugs as a experience like your meeting God.
1. People take drugs because it makes them feel good
2. People take drugs to get a temporary relief from reality
3. People take drugs because it gives them a other-worldly sensory experience
4. People take drugs because they think it'll be temporary when it can be life-changing depending on the drug
5. Artist take drugs because their people
I don't take drugs because I want to live a sober life where I am responsible for and in control of my actions.

I personally like to be clean of any substances when working (drawing or clay modelling).

What I do like from time to time is to smoke a joint and get my self working. It helps loosen up. I am in a good mood and get rid of a all the tensions. So I work completely free of any mental obstacles. My sensitivity for detail is much stronger. I am more concentrated on what I'm doing and my energy is more fluent. That will be visible on the work itself. Energy and the mood of the artist will be felt!

Most of the time artists have to deal with themselves, cause that's where the ideas are coming from. You are constantly pulling things out of yourself. Dealing with your emotions, your visions and ideas. Not to mention that most of the time you work in solitude of your own studio. Well, that can sometimes be very depressive, some cannot take that pressure and give into drugs and alcohol too much. It's soothing. Loosening... You can let your imagination unwind and your emotion feel lighter. When I sense it's to much for me, I simply make a break and fill my batteries again- be more social, more active physically, go outside, feel the nature. Make a reality check. Artist tend to isolate themselves from the world cause they dive too much in their own.

Its not just that it makes you creative but it inspires you to express yourself and your love for life by showing you the world in a new light.

Everyone should try mushrooms in a rain forest at least once, It gave me a true understanding and appreciation for the amount of energy that we are constantly in. We are numb to that energy most of the time I think other than in an orgasm when are completely vulnerable and open to feel it all. Mushrooms open you up to feel that energy its hard to explain you just have to try it. Like you can look at a small flower and see in it the same magic you see in the eyes of a lover who is happy to see you. You look out over an entire valley that is just exploding with life, you feel the tens of thousands of years of life and death and rebirth all in front of you its like time is literally standing still and you are feeling it all at once, You get a sense that is is all happening in that instance and all of your thoughts and emotions and conversations with people and laughter is all right there in that moment (which is why people freak the fuck out because it is kind of daunting to feel so much at once) It's absolutely incredible how much life there is on this planet.


And you laugh, You just laugh at everything and its amazing how you communicate with others by laughing. Its like your friend will be laughing at something and you will know exactly what he finds funny in a magical way. Which is perfectly normal if something funny happens in real life but when you can actually feel on a soul level how amazing it is to communicate with another through laughter its just incredible. Feeling and sharing that laughter is like sharing life energy you can feel how your laughter and your smile is effecting that persons mood and how that moment will change that persons life forever and that just makes you laugh more until it all becomes to much and you forgot why you where laughing so you laugh that you forgot and then you notice a small pebble that represents the milky way which you can only express by laughing at. Its very funny.

How could such a strong experience not inspire people to create I think some people are so trapped that they don't have anything to inspire them so when they take drugs all that love comes out maybe.

It feels like forever..... but it has only been 30 minutes whatttttttt? Lmao
