Good to see the old thread getting dusted off.
It's making me want a beer and a joint.

bottom line_if you are seeking inspiration you don't have to use drugs to find it.

Drugs = I can see the bigger picture better (helps with AS3/C++/Processing/ObjC/PHP/JS/e... stuff).
Sober = I can do the detailed implementation.- +100000 if im doing layout and outline work for a AS3 project w33d$ are a must, if im trying to code the design must be soberapplepirate

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I fucking loved saffron, and I mean full on obsessive, I saw her at t in the park one year and fucking almost fainted when she came on stage back in 1995 for fuck sake!!!!.
Honestly this has made me a sad man, a very dark day is upon us.

Never blab or preach. It's a personal choice. Keep it to yourself or you sound like a twat.

I could never work on an actual project and smoke herb, but if it's the week-end and I have some ideas I'd like to explore, then fuck ya, light it up.
Worst thing that can happen is I end up sexually mauling my wife, and passing out eating cereal.

only Rockstar designers can use drugs.

depends on what drugs, and who is taking it.

the trick with chemicals is to know their effects and use them as tools to enhance your normal performance or pleasure in a given situation.
if you need abstract thinking or are doing repetitive, boring tasks, smoke pot.
if you need to stay up all night to make a deadline, use amphetamines or coke.
if you have an enormous complex problem that requires clarity and creative visualization, use acid.
saying "drugs" as a whole is good or bad for a thing is silly.
also, i think learning how to handle your chemicals (i.e., not being distracted by your wife or cereal) will help quite a lot in using them effectively.

I think being a designer makes you a better drug taker. You aught to see the quality of my joints

I was going to say only designer who use drugs call themselves Rock Stars ... but that might just be cocaine.
Sans the blog thread's own.

i would NOT use ecstasy for anything constructive though (way too distracting), and i imagine opioids would also be futile as they'd just put you to sleep.
xanax could lend confidence to your design decisions

amphetamines help you work faster and longer and sometimes clearer... things like pot and booze help you loosen up and have fun. Pot also is good when you need to get lost in something repetitive [like making clipping paths]... but the ultimate answer — no...
- I think I have to agree with you here.sherman
