I didn’t read anything about ILLEGAL drugs...

I'm always on nicotine and caffeine. Trying to get rid of the nicotine though…

Hot Chocolate.

It's loaded with Caffeine, more than coffee has. Two cups of that and I'm flying high and feeling great.

Caffeine, ibuprofen, benadryl, claritin, pepcid AC, robitussin, pseudoephedrine... I'm pretty f*ing hardcore!

Might as well kill the thread now b/c some of the greatest artists of all time where on some form of a drug and not being able to talk about this openly is pointless I guess... Art never had rules to govern it until the less talented set up laws and rules to learn from the masters..  Do you really think they called "Butterfly effect of lighting" when it first was painted... or Rembrandt lighting..
I am just saying rules hold us back sometimes and not being open about how you get your Inspiration through drugs may be a good conversation piece...

This reminds me, I need to obtain some strong hallucinogens so the floor will stop chewing my toes. Hey, a butterfly... wait, no, that's my hand, and this is January.

Oh yeah, I am telling you, getting f*cked up and then modelling is the worlds BEST IDEA YET. Hope the photographer has insurance...
Seriously though, while I understand that historically many artists have used a whole variety of substances, the technical aspects of photography and the physical aspects of modelling make anything more hardcore than coffee, cigarettes, or maybe a glass of wine inadvisable.

Jack loves to get high on the Kibbles and Bits.   Oh,  feel the rush.

My master uses the caffeine stuff too much.   Seems as though her world pushes it upon her.
She never lets me get near the stuff,  says I cannot handle it.

But we do enjoy the C pipe.  Wow,  I understand why it messed up society for years.  Only had a contact H twice and then I was making babies like a rabbit.   Plus I hit two banks and two convience stores.  We love the medicine.

Mary would be fun but need an assistant to make sure I do not break stuff.

A big St. Bernard had a phrase that I love about a Medicine.  If you ever want to jump off the roof or throw yourself under a car wheel just do XYZ.   What is the worst that can happen?
think about it.  True, no?

I would like to see my mustard do a shoot on XYZ for he did pick up 7 women once who were on it and almost married one of them.   I called her the XYZ Kelly girl for she looked like Kelly from Cheers.  Very hot but too uptight for me.

Caffeine is abused to the point where people are actually drunk on it.
Alcohol is only for the after party,  never seen great results with it.

Fine if you are the art director but as a picture tacker,  I would say no and even no to high use of caffeine. 

Trust yourself.
