I once smoked a bit before I practiced at home in my studio to see what 
the "buzz" was about.  I did get it.  It did allow a quicker transition 
from the more concrete thought of everyday life, to the more fluid and 
abstract thought needed for good music making.  I never did it again 
though, as if I can relax and ease into it, I can get there without it 
more cheaply and without the chest pain.  I also don't like the 
"stupid" feeling it gives me, and I've noticed that the 2nd day after 
smoking marijuana I'm very irritable.  I rarely do though, so it stands 
out to me.

psychedelics on the other hand...
