Drugs

After bringing up the Beatles is a good time to talk about drugs and creativity. After my first lecture on creativity as a new graphic design teacher, one of my students asked, "What about drugs?" Many artists have extolled drugs as opening up new ways of thinking and new perspectives. People who are open and curious will naturally be open to and curious about drugs. The danger is addiction. An addict can no longer be creative without the drug, and the side effects eventually lead to health problems and possibly death. Addictions destroy relationships and stunt your growth as a human being. Taken to the extreme, addicts commit immoral and illegal acts. This blog is loaded with healthy ways to increase creativity.
