Drugs and Art

[argus730]

Any artists on here find they need something to help them get inspired?
I use meth for a muse a lot, can sit like an indian for a day straight and paint, otherwise its much more time consuming for the same outcome.
Really that's the only drug for art for me though.
Kind of trance out it's very peaceful, like my hand isn't connected to my body

Can u tell me how often u take meth plz
I find any chronic use of stims zaps my creativity. I rather do menial, logical tasks.

As for creativity maybe a butt load of benzos, all my fucks are gona outta the window and I become very random, disinhibited, if that counts as being creative

Amphetamines and meth are great for writing, especially with a few beers. I've written lots of prose (some of it awful, some of it great) on the tail-end of a stimulant high. I think anything that helps you focus and concentrate is great for art, but you also need to be able to relax and allow yourself to be creative (alcohol helps with that part).

You pay for it on the comedown though. My creative juices are zapped for at least two-three days after a speed/meth binge, sometimes longer. So while you might be able to achieve a shit-load in a short while, in the long run you probably only end up with the same amount of productivity.

Weed is usually my most creative motivator. When I smoke at home I usually end up with a guitar in my hand. Amphetamine with weed is like the gold standard for musical creation in my book.
