Give it to to me straight /mu/. Can I even be a successful musician

Mozart didn't do drugs. Beethoven didn't do drugs.
I think you're either bemoaning your lack of talent or trying to find an excuse for your drug use.

>>73488285
You need the technical talent first if you aren't a 10/10 rich chad

then go ahead and be a coked out mess fuck it

>>73488305
I had to check myself on that one, Beethoven actually drank a lot. My opinion still stands.

>>73488305
How do we even know that?

An important part of being an artist is to do your own thing. You can't expect to do anything of note if you just try to emulate what others have already done.

>>73488393
This is probably the most laughably inaccurate page on all of wikipedia, which is saying a tremendous lot.

that only encourages me to do drugs more

>Chopin - opium

I can't even think of a single successful artist who has never been afflicted with addiction.

Can any of you? Guess it's time to try heroin.

It's that they were successful enough not to be homeless if they got addicted or eccentric in the first place.
Not that they did it.

Cocaine, or booze. Heroin and its derivatives are fucking dangerous

>>73488543
so the trick is to become famous and then an addict?

>>73488476
alcohol and tobacco are entry-level drugs that don't really impact your creative process. They would have been just as successful without them.

>>73488545
Opiates are better for you if you have enough self control not to OD and take breaks, actually.

>>73488545

Personally I'd go for shrooms

>>73488558
Yeah, but the thing is that a lot of people who think they can handle opiates end up succumbing to addiction.

A teetotaler is someone who abstains from alcohol. Not someone who doesn't use drugs.
