So do you believe that taking drugs can enhance an artist's/musician's creative process?

I'm sure ya'll have heard this said before by a lot of artists. I know Santana is a staunch defender of just abt every drug being a benefit to an artist's creativity from psychadelic to the more addictive drugs such as heroin.

There were ppl who believed that heroin enabled many jazz artists to make great music...

How many HipHop artists has there been who said weed helped them to visualize and write their rhymes?

(on a side note, notice that every music genre has a specific drug associated with it and commonly used by the artists within that particular genre....Jazz=heroin....r&b/soul=coke(during the 70s&80s)....funk=psychadelic...hiphop=weed)

is there a correlation btw drugs and music/musicians? because they seem to be synonymous?
