As Hunter S. Thompson once mentioned, you should never write while on drugs. You just end up with a horrible mess like Naked Lunch. You should do drugs, and have experiences whilst on those drugs, and then write about it later after you’ve got your head straightened out and can examine them objectively.
Also, you should never do too many drugs in too short a time frame - after a certain point, you lose contact with consensus reality and you lose that magical ability to connect people’s worldview to what you’re trying to share with them.
You can really tell the writers that did just enough to open up their heads and shift perspectives from those that passed the event horizon of sanity at some point and then just kept on going. Y’know, like Dick.
