Do you feel that there is a connection between the creative arts and drug culture in any way? If so, how? In some way, yes. But my difficulty with this question is the use of "drug culture." If we mean the culture around drugs, then my answer is that the connection is marginal at best. However, if you mean "drug use" then my answer would be that drug use has allowed for alternative perspectives on art and expression as a whole. While not necessary for art, it has certainly broadened the scope of it, whether this being bad or good.
Do any of the musical groups you listen to influence your decision? If so, how? And what music do you listen to?
Particularly, no. However I do generally enjoy music from artists that aren't shy (though aren't dependent) to drug use. I listen to Rock music mostly but also Jazz, Blues, Hip Hop, Folk, and a range of others.
