Drug related famous people

[Psyolopher]

Im wondering.
Lets try to pin down as many people in human history who we know that used drugs.
I mean, people who did something or were/are well known.

(this might be a stupid idea, but it was very impulsive.)
Im just wondering if the result is shocking, it might be a good basis for a short documentary!

So simple:
Point of thread is: Name known people who took/did take drugs.
(hopefully in a way that it influenced thier work in a good way.)

You've got to narrow down the definition of drugs.

If you include pot, the list will be endless. If you include coke and amphetamines, the list will become meaningless. And if you restrict the list to psychedelics, you might as well go over to Erowid's character vault. A while ago I made a list of psychedelic pioneers.
