Sure, I already excepted art - and not just music; a lot of writers and

were inspired by alcohol and also by other 'drugs' like religion. Art is a

communicating at a subconscious level and so it helps to be able to make
synasthesia
like connections between disparate things.
OK, if you excepted art, then we agree on that. So if "poets are the unacknowledged
legislators of the world" it would seem that drugs have at least indirectly influenced
other aspects of the human condition.
That's a big "if".
