Not sure about addicts but here are some of my favourite drug users, in no particular order:

Stanislav Grof - For his great contributions to psychiatry and in particular to psychiatry involving the use of psychedelics such as LSD.

Alexander Shulgin - For his ground-breaking discoveries of new psychedelic compounds like the 2C-X series, and his great books PiHKAL and TiHKAL.

Richard Alpert aka Ram Dass - For his wise teachings and for his books, particularly "Be Here Now".

Aldous Huxley - For his incredible books, in particular "Doors of Perception" and "Brave New World".

Terence McKenna - For his interesting approaches to psychedelic use and his books, in particular "Food of the Gods".

John C. Lilly - For his very interesting work regarding the use of Ketamine.

Jerry Garcia - For his work as one of the members of the Grateful Dead, clearly one of the greatest bands to have ever graced this earth.

John Lennon - For his work as one of the members of The Beatles, also one of the greatest bands in my opinion, and for his philosophies on world peace.

Hunter S. Thompson - For his astounding work as an author and journalist, and for bringing about gonzo journalism, and for being unafraid to be who himself and not tiptoeing around issues.

Carlos Castaneda - For his great books. While I doubt the factual accuracy of much/any of the contents of the books, the messages within are very interesting and there are some great lessons to be learned. Plus they make for great stories.

Alex Grey - For his wonderful contributions to the world of psychedelic art.

Bill Hicks - For being one of those great comedians who was an intellectual at heart and didn't just make silly gags, but who could make anyone laugh and wasn't afraid to speak his mind.

I would add more but I don't want to completely flood the page and I'm lazy enough as it is.

borroughs was a weirdo , he shot his wife in the head by accident in a dumbass accident, he was in the closet, he molested his kids and people said he was possessed by a demon

Can you read, have you read any of his work?

And what is it that your life will be remembered for when you are rotting away? Have you made a memorable mark?

Seyer I agree with Novak, that dude man fuck...

Have some Artie Lange lol

 

[ugly]

Hunter.

There is no argument. Hunter and he alone.

I recently heard a comedian say that part of becoming a grown up is admitting to yourself that the Doors sucked and Morrison was just a sad, stupid dick. I don't agree or disagree with that. I just find it interesting that this concept IS.

Undermine their pompous authority, reject their moral standards, make anarchy and disorder your trademarks. Cause as much chaos and disruption as possible but don't let them take you ALIVE.

Slash sat me down at his house and said, You've got to clean up your act. You know you've gone too far when Slash is saying, Look, you've got to get into rehab.

Shit I just realised I have too many to list. I just connect with other drug addicts i guess. One should have the choice to put what ever they want in their body plus the creativity that comes out of drug use is phenomenal.

cant believe no one has said Bill Hicks yet..

 

[aussie101]

cant believe no one has said Bill Hicks yet..

I had thought of him but forgot. lol. Fcuk he was a funny comedian. Have you seen American: The Bill Hicks Story?

This is my fav Bill Hicks quote:

"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Heres Tom with the Weather.”

 

[laugh]

iv seen them all. i loved the dude. a true free thinker of the highest order. motherfucker told it how it was.

the quote you posted is like his most famous. he has many many good free fundamental thoughts. i liked his one about instead of sending bombs down chimney shoots how about sending food or bananas down hungry childrens throats.

anarchy

 

[aussie101]

Right on! Gotta love free thinkers. Heres a quote by another "drug using" free thinker. I just posted it to my FB page.

'It's now very common to hear people say, "I'm rather offended by that", as if that gives them certain rights. It's no more than a whine. It has no meaning, it has no purpose, it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. "I'm offended by that." Well, so fucking what?' —Stephen Fry

 

[laugh]

yeh hes pretty cool for a homo hey

 

[aussie101]

Another cool drug addict was John Belushi - he was wicked in Blues Brothers

 

[AlphaMethylPhenyl]

[Pill2Chill]

Charlie Sheen

This one is also one of my favorites. He be bangin' 7 gram rocks, cuz that's how he rolls. Hunter S. Thompson still takes the prize though.
