The book examines the lives of several famous writers, artists, and musicians who used drugs to enhance their creativity or cope with mental illness, including Edgar Allan Poe, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Vincent van Gogh, and Jimi Hendrix. Marks delves into the effects of various drugs on the brain, including opium, cocaine, and marijuana, and explores how they can both inspire and destroy. She also examines the societal attitudes towards drug use and how they have changed over time. This thought-provoking book raises important questions about the relationship between creativity, mental health, and substance abuse.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
