What drugs?
Drugs is a pretty broad catch-all spectrum of things with an equally broad set of effects.

poeple who do drugs to be "creative" weren't creative to begin with.

- its just pussies that have never tried any drugs that would think that lol23kon
- and thats not me saying "drugs are cool" - but everyone should try some soft drugs in their life23kon
- I've tried plenty, don't worry there. Being "creative" on drugs just felt like an excuse to use them.jfletcher

Smoking a joint makes me lazy and makes me not want to concentrate on anything in particular and i just feel like chilling.
However, it's always when i'm really stoned and lying in bed trying to sleep that i've come up with my best ideas or solutions to design/flash problems etc.

my roomie used to do some ADD meds before a night of copy writing.
if you consider having ADD not being able to focus on writing when u have a football game and the stereo on. then i think everyone has ADD.

I need Demerol to deal with certain clients. Don't know if it makes me a better designer but it ups my survivability.

I've come up with some amazing ideas when stoned and written them down, only to look at them the next morning and realise they were completely insane, or just really fucking obvious!
- ha! true dat!!! but i've also come up with some pretty good ones too..Projectile
- though whether i'd have come up with a better one had i been sober is a question..Projectile

Definitly. It makes me a better person too. The only issue is that drugs are expensive. But it definitly helps me getting better, more productive and friendlier. So yes, I recommend every aspiring designer to use more drugs.

depends what your designing also.. and what drugs you are taking.
i hear hammer isnt very useful in coming up with super complex designs.
