for one, drugs make a vast difference to perception which is what innovation is all about isn't it. expanding imagination!! You don't need to be constantly under the influence to change you perseption forever!

But yes too many drugs incapacitate one's self. Look at Hendrix good and bad...

You either copy something already done or make it up in your imagination. simple. you copy or you don't - consiously or subconsiously.

and i ain't had my fill of drugs by a long shot so there.

so we can't listen to too much techno ro do drugs for our best chances of innovative music - where shalt we get oor ideas?
