I think Philip K. Dick is a shining example of how drug induced psychosis can actually be beneficial especially in an artistic sense to give a contrasting example.
an illustration, perhaps, and more luck than design, open to debate as well.
talking about any benefits to psychosis, is, to me, romantic and naïve.

A valid and understandable point, glorifying mental illness or drug induced psychosis is probably how it came across but not how I intended at all. I disagree that it's more 'luck then design' however.
I just believe that these factors can contribute to creativity in a variety of constructive and amazing ways but usually at great cost...another individual who I'm a fanatic fan of and another good example would be Syd Barrett.
