I have always maintained that society has no business dictating morality.

Restlessness is discontent and discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.
Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have.

Sigmund Freud and Judy Garland. Freud's cocaine obsession likely allowed him to progress in his work the way he did, which was so incredibly novel for his time. I believe he was a true genius of all time, but I think the cocaine changed, likely for the better at times, and likely for the worse at times, the way he expressed and shared his genius. With Judy Garland, it is a sadder story, as she had been habituated to amphetamines and barbiturates at a young age involuntarily, however I do not think her genius, for I do believe she was an artistic genius, would have been the same without those two classes of drugs and others. Her performance was really quite unlike any other performers' performances, and though I am sure it was straight from her talent to perform, the drugs allowed her to go beyond and above to a near super-human level of ability in an almost knowingly self-destructive way to please her fans, and she did. It is sad, yes, but she is a favorite person of mine, all time, and a favorite drug user.
There is something appealing about the opiate-addicted writers of history, too, though - something romantic, almost.

Already mentioned John Lilly - all of those trips, using so much ketamine, all the alien encounters, the Earth Coincidence Control Office. He contributed some important things to science in his life, and the dolphin research was interesting and resulted in increased awareness of dolphin intelligence and that helped get more support for conservation and protection of dolphins. He was helpful in increasing dolphin conservation efforts and getting more legal protections for dolphins. Many dolphins would have surely died had John Lilly never been born. He may have been delusional, but he was a great scientist (not anywhere near the level of Einstein, but did make some major contributions to science) and had a significant impact on the conservation and protection of dolphins. Few people will ever have a life as interesting as his was and the world would be at least a little worse off if he had not existed. I'd love live a similar life (Probably won't, but I can hope and dream).
Alexander Shulgin (he created most of the things I trip on, and I read somewhere he has tripped over 10,000 times. I assume that would include the tiny doses he takes to test the potency and safety of each new compound he has created). Too bad he had a stroke, but it sounds like he has recovered well and his cognitive abilities weren't too badly affected. Hope he recovers as much as possible, so he can get back to doing what he loves - creating more psychedelics and tripping on them to see what they do. That will give me even more things to trip on. I hope to try them all at least once before I die (I probably won't get too, but it would be nice) Maybe he'll create something more amazing than anything currently in existence (probably won't happen, but one can hope)
Albert Hoffman, creator of LSD and some other interesting things. Bet he was surprised to find out what it did. His creation had a big impact on the world and will continue to do so - people will be tripping on the stuff until we go extinct or civilization collapses and it is forgotten.

jerry garcia
for some reason people just think he was a stoner hippie(hippiedom died in the 60s, band was anything but hippie after that) really into LSD, which is something he identfied with during the 60s
friends claim only time they saw him drunk was on a train in canada when a bunch of bands(the band, janis joplin, jefferson airplane and more)got together to perform multiple shows and party on trains
but by 1970 he was a massive coke head
in 1978 a friend introduced him to persian heroin(shit cost like 500/g back in the 80s)
yeah, well he was a full blown addict, performing shows with jerry garcia band just to support his gigantic habit, once spent an entire plane ride to germany in the plane's bathroom, chasing the dragon...he strictly smoked it, went into coma in '86, came out clean for a few years, speculated to have relapsed in '91(which was a great year for his guitar work, what a coincidence?)
eventually died in '95 from heart failure while in rehab....too much cigs and junk food
he was only 53 when he died, looked closer to 75
another one of my favorites is former new york giant's line backer lawrence taylor
some consider him the best defensive player of all time and he was a full blown crack head
smoked it before games, during practices, before interview
i dunno i find it pretty crazy someone so great in athletics was able to accomplish what he did on the field
off the field is a whole different story, he;s a crackhead of course he;s beaten woman up and shit
@neversickanymore
i was just assumed vince herman liked getting drunk
say him twice in one day at bear's picnic festival in '11
played with great american taxi and took part in 'everyone orchestra'....very cool

my all time favorite jerry garcia quote
it was said inside a hotel room,late at night,in some city, after a show in '84
and i'm not even making this up unless this reputable guy gave me false info, but i can definitely see jerry saying this:
'hey man, are you gonna finish those chips?"
