=== Literature ===
* So that nobody has any doubts, [[Hunter S. Thompson]]'s books and articles were made on drugs. ''All of them.''<ref>All of the works. And all of the drugs.</ref>
* According to Tom Wolfe in ''[[wikipedia:The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test|The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test]]'', [[Ken Kesey]] wrote several passages of ''[[One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest]]'' on LSD and/or peyote.
* Nineteenth-century British author [[Wilkie Collins]] was addicted to laudanum and later opium during the period during which he wrote what have been called "the best and most enduring novels of his career": ''The Woman in White, No Name, Armadale'', and ''The Moonstone''. By the 1870s, though, his opium addition (along with a general decline in his health and a growing problem with his eyesight) began to adversely affect his writing; it's hard to point to any particular feature of his later work which can be definitively attributed to the drug use, though.
