I think drugs like reefer/acid/shrooms are good for music *listening*... but I found that I am more productive when making music sober. I find it more rewarding to make a bunch of music.. then later on get stoned and listen to it.
that being said... I don't smoke any more... though I have the urge to listen to the tracks I've made over the past few years while high! maybe someday...
alcohol on the other hand is completely counterproductive to making music in any way (in my opinion)... as drunk=sloppy and numb.
spacemen 3... a completely drugged out (every drug including smack) psychedelic rock band from the 80s inevitably broke up because of alcohol use by one of the main members. apparently the drugs posed no problems to the music making... but the drinking did!
