If the sources have basis in truth, even if not to the extremity put forward, it's worth keeping in mind in the context of the person's worldly outlook. That noted, when talking about the effects of drug addiction on the mind, I find it relevant to point out Ayn Rand was an amphetamine addict for 30 years[1]. As a writer myself with an alphabet of substances consumed over the years, I can attest to different drugs having different influences on what gets put to paper...the most common in the field being alcohol. There's a long tradition of people saying things they wouldn't otherwise when their inhibitions are lowered, and that seems to hold true with the written word as well in many cases.
