On the whole, I think drug use has taken more from the artist/artistic community than it ever gave--history is full of examples. Drug use usually leads to the weakening of most communities [note the "usually" and "most" here--some communities can and do use eupohoria inducing drugs responsibly] but I concur that, "drugs are bad, MmKay?" From what I have surmised, most people use drugs because they are feeling tortured on a more personal level and the drugs offer a sort of relief. Either that or it's fun. Then there are the people who are self-medicating: undiagnosed mental and/or physical problems.
