Line 43:
* So that nobody has any doubts, [[Hunter S. Thompson]]'s books and articles were made on drugs. ''All of them.''<ref>All of his 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.
* The poems of [[Samuel Taylor Coleridge]] were written while on drugs. One of his most famous works, [https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems-and-poets/poems/detail/43991 "Kubla Khan, Or, A Vision in a Dream: A Fragment"], is ''explicitly'' the result of an opium-influenced dream.
* Portions of the ''Don Juan'' books by [[Carlos Castaneda]] are first-hand accounts -- written during or shortly after -- peyote trances. Depending on where you stand on the disputed subject of their authenticity, these books may actually belong under [[In-Universe]] examples.
