More to a point, is, what people have actually _reached_ their 'creative potential' using drugs? Just as adamant a claim can be made that drugs hamper the creative process.

Two of my favorite artists, both extremely creative, groundbreaking, and prolific, are Henry Moore and Salvador Dali, both of whom have stated without reservation that no drug was ever used in the creation of their art.

Do we have records of Da Vinci using drugs? Michaelangelo?

But first, tell me how one determines a 'creative potential'...?
