Can't exactly do that if you are off your face.

I've recorded the bulk of my music while off my face and my best tracks are done when I'm in the state of mind. Some of the stuff that I've recorded sober isn't as good as most of the stuff that I've done while I'm high.
I also have it on good authority that people on drugs are more likely to appreciate my music as well, so it might not be as cut and dry as you're trying to put it. There are a lot of complex ideas that I'm putting forward on some of these records that have gotten good responses that are some people on drugs are capable of having that level of intellectualism (because all music is to be listened to from an intellectual point of view and that's a fact) to dissect and analyze the music while high as ****.
The way you're painting the situation could very well be applicable to you in your approach to listening to and creating music, but sometimes you have to remember that there are still going to be people who aren't exactly like you.
