Yes

Do you have a drug related mental condition? (Please circle one)
No (if I understand the question correctly).


Do you feel that there is a connection between the creative arts and drug culture in any way? If so, how?
Yes, artists are more fragile and prone to have relationnal problems so they will more often be drug users.

Have the attitudes presented in films towards drugs made you think about them in a different way? If so, please circle whether it positive or negative.
Negative (drugs, especially "hard" ones are overrated).
