ABSTRACT

The author examines multivocal record historically exploring various literatures as a means of assessing patterns, themes, and attitudes that express the social construction of drugs and drug users in human society. He explores the application of mind-altered experiences to the process of creative writing generally and creative writing that specifically incorporates descriptions, scenes, praises, and warnings about drug use. Beyond writing books under the experience of drugs, the authors have written them about the experience of drugs. Some writers hold the view that drugs and the altered consciousness they produce are a kind of psychological fuel that opens their minds to new levels of unconventional understanding and broadens their vision as an author are needed almost medicinally to manage various physical and emotional symptoms enabling them to be physically able to write. Some of the most admired and celebrated works of literature were produced by drug users and possibly while they were under the influence of drugs.
