Hallucinogenics can make you think/experience beyond the limits of yr ego and all....but there are a lot of other things that can do the same thing. Meditate, record yr dreams etc. I personally think that drugs tend to be used as a cop-out mode of mind expansion. And that many times, they bring out false epiphanies. That being said, I don't think that drugs are necessarily bad, at least not much worse than a lot of other shit. They can be a hell of a lot of fun. And sometimes jamming out on them can be fun. But I really think that they are often overrated in the process of producing art. I don't really like the mystification about them being the key to creative power that we attribute to them.
Also, I've found that drugs/alcohol tend to distract people from actually being productive.
