Research might be difficult. The issue that makes me cautious is that I don't know any person whose output I admire (scientists, composers, artists) who took these drugs.
The only exception I know is Erdos with amphetamines, which is of course different.
I'm a snob who does not appreciate Kerouac, rock musicians etc. It may be different for others who do.

Cannabis use is still very taboo in most professional settings. More taboo than religion, sexuality, mental health, etc. But still we know that composers like Chopin and Berlioz were Opium users.
