Drugs have an affect on music. Just look at all the jazz musicians Louis Armstrong said he smoked marijuana every day, Charlie Parker was a major Heroin addict, so much so he named a song after his dealer, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis. Pretty much up until Coleman Hawking came along jazz musicians thought that in order to be great you needed to be high on heroin. Also while he isn't a musician, William S. Burroughs is the most influential person when it comes to drugs and music. Any and everybody that did drugs or were drug bands were all influenced by Burroughs.
