Well regardless, my original comment about heroin was meant as a joke anyway.

Yeah, but not all drugs enhance creativity. I've actually never done heroin (never will) but I didn't think of it as being a creativity enhancer.

i dunno - try comparing Billie Holiday before and after heroin

pre-heroin - sprightly dancey numbers

post-heroin - world-weariness and aged wisdom

Yeah, but that may have been the experience of using heroin itself, not the actual effects of it.
