I believe them too. That doesn't mean that drugs don't help other musicians though.

Of all bands, the beatles is one that was highly influenced by drugs. So was Pink floyd, rolling stones etc. To say that drugs didn't play a direct part in the making of their music is just wrong.

Actually the role drugs played in all of those bands is highly overstated. The only member of Pink Floyd who heavily took drugs was Syd Barrett and we all know that didn't end well.
